I'd Bet A Million Dollars On Doom

I'm Trying To Get Low. People's Personalities Can Get In The Way Of Their Own Work.

Peace Before Everything, God Before Anything, Love Before Anything, Real Before Everything, Home Before Any Place, Shoot Before Anything, Style And State Radiate, Love Power Slay The Hate.

But Even Creeps Deserve To Live Someplace Halfway Decent.

So Rather Than Really Have, Like A Close Relationship To Anything That's Coming Out Today, People Are Just, They've Got It On As Background Music. It's Kind Of The Same Way The Cabdrivers Use Music; It's Very Disposable. But, That Doesn't Mean There Aren't A Great Number Of Artists Who Are Doing Things To Change That.

I Began To Fear That Mos Def Was Being Treated As A Product, Not A Person, So I've Been Going By Yasiin Since '99. At First It Was Just For Friends And Family, But Now I'm Declaring It Openly.
