Mos Def
Image
Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?
Mos Def
Image
I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.
Mos Def

There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.
Mos Def

What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
Mos Def
Image
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
Image
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.
