More quotes by Mos Def
Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
Mos Def
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
Mos Def
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
Fame is like getting across the street. It's like, if there's nothing to be across the street for, it's a pointless destination. It's like, I gotta get across the street, man! I gotta be there! I gotta be there! Then you get across the street and you're like, Yeah I'm here! And then, that's it. Fame doesn't make you particularly happy.
Mos Def
There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists.

Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
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 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
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.
