I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.
Mos DefIt's difficult to really be an artist nowadays. People are just on another page. You have a society that needs you to say something, but they don't want to give you the environment to be able to be just a functioning, happy, normal person. It's like, the industry is at odds with you, the society is at odds with you. You start to live in this very confined box where it's like, It's "me" and "them."
Mos DefI was taught when there's somethin' you can change around keep quiet, you got nothin' to complain about.
Mos DefI don't have advice for people on how to dress. People should dress based on what they find beautiful. My best advice: Keep your clothes clean.
