Mos is a fucking OG. He's being very respectful, when in fact he doesn't even need to be. Rap and Hip Hop ain't just about money and fame, it's also about the culture and spreading truth/wisdom.

That part. Mos is too intelligent too even reach out. Kendrick is the new addition of "Our Woke" generation. He definitely changed The game. GENIUS. I'm an OG,and I Salute Kendrick Lamar 👑 🫡🫡🫡
Exactly! I’m a GenXer and that’s how the OG’s pulled us to the side when we was out there on them streets being stupid. Some got loud and up in our faces….while others were composed! Either way they was kicking the knowledge to keep us straight!💪🏾👊🏾
Mos Def has such a beautiful energy. I was stuck in a long line in the airport.. and I saw him and didn't want to get out of line to get his autograph for my friend in the hospital, and he came and walked to me! Oh my goodness! His Light and energy was amazing. He looks even more beautiful in person than in movies! He is a handsome, good hearted man that is an inspiration! Our youth should imitate Mos Def instead of most of what's out here. I love this man.
I'm BK, all day. Ran across Mos on a couple occasions, dude is mad down to earth. He just blends in with the rest of us. Stopped on the corner to take in a street artist one time and realized I was standing next to Mos. We just nodded to each other, gave each other dap and kept enjoying the music.
Mos def would murder drake lyrically everyday of the week and twice on Sunday........ Casper the friendly drake don't want none of that yasin smoke.....
Listen, when an elder in the culture speaks facts and you can't return his call because your lil feelings were hurt, then everything K Dot said was confirmed months ago by BEFORE the diss records came out last month
Mos def is what drake pretends to be. Hes respected and stamped. Loved and respected globally, specially in africa and middle east. He grew up in brooklyn, hes seen it all, hes self made, one of the greatest rappers and personally my favorite. Hes a waay better actor. Hes a travelin man and he knows the truth based on experience.
Is that why THE WHOLE world is bumping to every single one of Kendrick's tracks? I guess the entire U.S. AAAAAND Canada is trippin then. "Y'all right." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How is Aubrey even getting a pass. If anything he need his pass checked. Wake up world this man been accused of some very serious stuff. I could give a D¡MN about supremacy over a MIC.
This energy that Yasiin Bey/Mos Def gives off... just validates that he's always been my favorite rapper. He's objectively one of the best ever, but what puts him over the top for me is a love that comes through in his work. It's powerful and good.
Requiring more from people in times of crisis seems appropriate. Thank you for being a reflection Yasiin. Drake might finally shift gears following this. We need everybody in this war.
SO much respect for Mos Def a great entertainer,a great man and a great leader of men. The world would be a better place if we could all carry ourselves like Mos Def does. #RESPECT
The fact Mos Def even made a respond video, knowing he stays to himself & away from social media more than most states so much on how awesome his character is.
True. And there is nothing wrong with that. Mos, K.dot, J.Cole, Drake, Future, all of those mumble rappers, ....hip/hop and rap encompasses more than just conscious or experimental rap like k.dot. There is room for different styles and approaches...🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♀
Much love and respect for Yasiin Bey. One minute though: did anyone else catch the humorous ending? "Forgive my Brooklyn." So subtle yet hilarious and eluding. LOL. Also agreed when he said making connections "beyond the jukebox." Always thinking in metaphors. Love this brother.
Lol this aged really well, too. Gave the man grace that he didn’t even deserve with this consolation speech to Drake. He couldn’t rap next to Mighty Mos Def, Yasin Bey; can barely touch Yo Gabba Gabba lyrically
The fact that Mos is a humble person makes him even more great. He knows his lyrical capabilities so why even entertain the stupidity smh that's what you call being a grown azz man 💯💯💯 SALUTE
NO ONE betta say NOTHIN´ about Yasiin Bey! He is in a CLASS all his own......because of his content and his commitment to the LIBERATION of the people...PERIOD
A Man is his legacy, Mos Def is the socially conscious rapper that we need, he’s always relevant, he isn’t responding by being argumentative with meme rappers in this case Drake
Salute To Mos Def🫡 Now that's how All disputes between Artist should be Approached and Handled👏👏👏👏 I Hope Others will follow in His footsteps and Maybe Change The Game, Music is something that should have Never caused Beef, It's So Stupid that Something Made to Bring Us Love, Joy and Happiness Leads instead to Hate, Violence, and Even Death, Pray that Mos Def Ways wake us up out of this Dreadful Nightmare that's Causing So Much Destruction To Our People. 🙏🏾💪🏾 💯
Educated,informed, aware of the situation, hmmm a intelligent response to an unsavory situation. Mos is not only humble but also polite. Learn from this Drake. Lemarn.

no Drake is like a kid you are a father in the game. firstly he should respect his elders... his bubble gum music doesn't give him the status to just think he can jump on a legend
It’s not just jumping, he resents those legends and the whole culture. His success gave him a sense of revenge and power over hip hop and its greats because they never embraced him and never will.
Hip-Hop has become too big and commercial. Too many non-Black and suburban people trying to give it a NEW definition as too what it is, now. Drake is a manufactured product. He is the even the massively "accepted" ambiguous skin tone that America uses to promote their version of "Black". He was create to BE popular. They got him Ghost writers and Black features for street cred and N-Word acceptability. So of course the masses embraced. The masses are not smart, they never were. So them trying to diss Mos Def and justify Drake's "realness" by how much he sells, is irrelevant.
Mos is a fucking OG. He's being very respectful, when in fact he doesn't even need to be. Rap and Hip Hop ain't just about money and fame, it's also about the culture and spreading truth/wisdom. Mos has paid his dues and made his contributions 100x over anything that drake has ever put out. Respect to Mos Def.
