More quotes by Mos Def
I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.
Mos Def
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.
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
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
Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?
Mos Def
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.
Mos Def
You can positively affect and change a social circumstance with art, and it’s vital that a change happens now.
Mos Def
I think hip-hop is actually one of the most challenging things that's happened in music in a long time. The people who are in charge of what people see or hear are afraid. What you hear on top 40 or what you see on BET or MTV is not a fair representation of what is really going on...
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
Restlessness is my nemesis. It's hard to just chill and sit still.
Mos Def
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.
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
That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.
Mos Def
I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.
Mos Def
Beef is not what Jay said to Nas Beef is when the working folks can't find jobs.
Mos Def
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
But even creeps deserve to live someplace halfway decent.
Mos Def
Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
Mos Def
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
Mos Def
I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
