More quotes by Mos Def
Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
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'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil' Wayne
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 seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once. Ass so fat that you could see it from the front.
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
Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.
Mos Def
I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
Mos Def
At its heart, music is all higher mathematics.
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
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
Restlessness is my nemesis. It's hard to just chill and sit still.
Mos Def
Record companies are not necessarily interested in you realizing your artistic dream. The bottom line is that they got to sell records.
Mos Def
Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle whatever you do.
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
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
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
The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?
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...
