Focused. Im 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
I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so Ive been going by Yasiin since 99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now Im declaring it openly. – Mos Def
I cant control what people think. Im not trying to manipulate peoples thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. Its machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different. – Mos Def
I dont want to waste anyones time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift. – Mos Def
