Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) Quotes
People don't like the music that's out now, that's on their radio stations, and they want to hear something different, but they're just the audience.

[But] they are really looking for something that's gonna speak to the world that they're living in. That's what people are looking for, but they're not finding it.
