More quotes by Mos Def
Crack mothers, crack babies and AIDS patients Youngbloods can't spell, but they could rock you in PlayStation.
Mos Def
And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble, But I disregarded detour signs, And did not stop til you was mine. I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.' Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps. Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'
Mos Def
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
The moment you start thinking it's hopeless, then it is. [But], if you think it's gonna get better, it really does. Life is a test.
Mos Def
I'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil' Wayne
Mos Def
I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.
Mos Def
I don't care about what brand you are, I'm concerned what type of man you are, what your principles and standards are.
Mos Def
All the things that are worth doing, take time.
Mos Def
I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.
Mos Def
I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
Mos Def
Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
Mos Def
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
It wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions on an entire cultural movement based on the actions of a few. To quote my grandfather, 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.'
Mos Def
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
Mos Def
We can be beautiful and feel beautiful about who we are everyday.
Mos Def
Peace before everything, God before anything, Love before anything, real before everything, Home before any place, shoot before anything, Style and state radiate, Love Power slay the hate.
Mos Def
There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists.
Mos Def
When people say I don't see you enough, well just because you don't see me don't mean I don't exist or just 'cause you haven't heard me don't mean I haven't been making noise. But if I keep making noise, you'll pick up.
Mos Def
I never had any ambitions of being a movie star or anything like that, but you know, this is nice.
Mos Def
You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.
