More quotes by Mos Def
Restlessness is my nemesis. It's hard to just chill and sit still.
Mos Def
They say that when a man faces his destiny, the destiny ends and he becomes the man that he really is.
Mos Def
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once. Ass so fat that you could see it from the front.
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
To me, it's like happiness is about happiness, but happiness is a fight.
Mos Def
I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.
Mos Def
If it's just fame for the sake of being famous, no one even cares about you - and you don't even care about yourself because you're like, This is so ridiculous.
Mos Def
I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
Mos Def
Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.
Mos Def
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.
Mos Def
At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.
Mos Def
I tell people all the time, I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater. But, I didn't wanna do all of this. I would've been satisfied to do it, like, on the weekends among friends, and to have a regular job.
Mos Def
Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.
Mos Def
Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?
Mos Def
But even creeps deserve to live someplace halfway decent.
Mos Def
I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.
Mos Def
Man, I smashed her like an Idaho Potato
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 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 thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.
Mos Def
