We said it once and we’ll say it again: GQ is weirdly, but surely becoming a solid source of hip-hop news. Their latest article of note is a short interview with Yasiin Bey, the artist formerly known as Mos Def. Discussing fashion, art and the reason for the name change, the conversation is brief, but provocative. A key quote is provided below:

“Hip-hop is the last true folk art.”

Even when he’s not rapping, Bey still has interesting things to say. For the entire interview, click here.
