More quotes by Mos Def
Man, I smashed her like an Idaho Potato
Mos Def
I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.
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
Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.
Mos Def
That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.
Mos Def
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
Mos Def
Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
Mos Def
With guys I revere, like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X, their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed, you know?
Mos Def
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
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'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil' Wayne
Mos Def
Beef is not what Jay said to Nas Beef is when the working folks can't find jobs.
Mos Def
I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
Mos Def
I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.
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
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.
Mos Def
Every time you ask yourself where hip-hop's going, ask yourself where you're going how are you doing?
Mos Def
Reckless capitalism kills black people.
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
We can be beautiful and feel beautiful about who we are everyday.
Mos Def
