More quotes by Mos Def
At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.
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
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.
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
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Man, I smashed her like an Idaho Potato
Mos Def
I can't take it y'all I can feel the city breathin Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening Sigh before we die like the last train leaving
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
Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years, it's a name that the streets taught me, a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment, and I feel I've done quite a bit with that name. [But] it's time to expand and move on.
Mos Def
Live now for the promise of the Infinite
Mos Def
Every time you ask yourself where hip-hop's going, ask yourself where you're going how are you doing?
Mos Def
Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
Mos Def
