Reckless capitalism kills black people.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

I'm retiring the Mos Def name after 2011. I'm actually doing it.

If it's just fame for the sake of being famous, no one even cares about you - and you don't even care about yourself because you're like, "This is so ridiculous."

I like to read the 'Financial Times' when I'm traveling. 'Economist.' 'Ad Busters.'

And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.

I get reminded a lot of the time that my life is a little bit different, but I'm just trying to keep it as regular as possible because I like it that way
