Quote

Everything's got space between it, the planets, trees, your eyes. Your eyes get too close together, it's a whole different world. You can lose perspective.

That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.
Mos Def
Image
I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is.

Image
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.

They say that when a man faces his destiny, the destiny ends and he becomes the man that he really is.

The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?

So rather than really have, like a close relationship to anything that's coming out today, people are just, they've got it on as background music. It's kind of the same way the cabdrivers use music it's very disposable. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a great number of artists who are doing things to change that.

Focused. I'm a hustler. And my hustle is trying to figure out the best ways to do what I like without having to do much else.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists.
Mos Def
Image
I want to be necessary and do good works. I ain't here to waste nobody's time, because I don't want you to waste mine.
Mos Def
Image
I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.
Mos Def
Image
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.

Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?
Mos Def
Image
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.

I'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil' Wayne

I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.

You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day.
