More quotes by Mos Def
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
Mos Def
I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.
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
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
Live now for the promise of the Infinite
Mos Def
Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
Mos Def
Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: The million other straws underneath it.
Mos Def
Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
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
African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.
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
Crack mothers, crack babies and AIDS patients Youngbloods can't spell, but they could rock you in PlayStation.
Mos Def
If 'Life in Marvelous Times' can't get on the radio, then I don't need to be on the radio.
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
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once. Ass so fat that you could see it from the front.
Mos Def
Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.
Mos Def
But even creeps deserve to live someplace halfway decent.
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, the job of the artist is to provide a useful and intelligent vocabulary for the world to be able to articulate feelings they experience everyday, and otherwise wouldn't have the means to express in a meaningful and useful way.
Mos Def
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.
