A: "I'm from the old school, I love P-Funk,
But now rap music is all that they want,
So when I'm in my car, I play Clinton,
And when I'm on the stage I start pimping."

B: "Now I'm hiding in Honduras,
I'm a desperate man,
Send lawyers, guns and money,
The shit has hit the fan."

DJ A-Trak "Cosmo Baker is hands down one of my favorite DJs. very few dudes can read a crowd like Cosmo, first of all. My man can rock it in so many ways, and he continues to surprise me. Cosmo lives and breathes music and his knowledge runs deep!! He's a virtual librarian of music. After all this is the man who invented the category "Dad Rock." But more than anything Cosmo's a party rocker. And a close friend. Rock on, Cosmo"
DJ Jazzy Jeff "When it comes to keeping the Philly Music tradition going...Cosmo has it locked. His knowledge is incredible and his Crates are deep and his passion and skills makes him one of my favs."
DJ Eli Escobar "Cosmo is everything I think a great DJ should be; versatile, skilled and before anything else, a true tastemaker."
DJ Mr. Supreme "100% pure no gimmicks"
RJD2 "Cosmo is the club DJ I aspire to be - smooth, seamless, on top of his game, knows exactly what's appropriate at any given time. He'll play the song that I'm totally sure could not be resurrected, and bam - gangbusters. He's definitely that guy."
?uestlove "Cosmo Cosmo Cosmo. I remember when Cosmo got his first mixer and started dj'n back in 92. Little did I know that little runt would constantly keep me on my a game like no other cat I know. He is always dropping that "This ain't out yet" game on us and I'm always dropping that "Cell phone memo note to cop that 'This ain't out yet'" jam he played. When I grow up, I wanna be like Mo"
Diplo "I would sneak into Fluid when I was still under 21 to see Cosmo play at the legendary Remedy, his parties were part of my foundation in Philly. The dude has a sixth sense at turnin' a crowd out."
DJ AM "Cos is a Philly native with more flavor than a pack of Now N' Laters. This flavor comes in handy when he's deciding what tunes you're gonna hear for a few hours!"
DJ Monk One "Cosmo’s a rare cat. There aren’t many who can impress me with a funk 45s set, turn around and destroy a rave packed with barely legal hipsters, then pull out a disco twelve-inch that I’d all but forgotten about—and still be one of my favorite faces to see over a pint of beer."
XXXChange "Cosmo Baker is, without a doubt, the most learned dj I have ever seen. From early house, to club bangers, classics, rock shit, jazz, dude has done his research, and done it well!"
Rich Medina "Straight up and down, Cosmo Baker is one of my all time favorite bowlers. Nigga been averaging 8 to 11 strikes per night since he joined that over 30 league... He da illest with dem pins... Just playing... I fucking love Cosmo like a brother. We were a huge part of each other's growth as DJs, promoters and men in the 90s in Philly, and I have the utmost respect for his skill set and his work ethic. The dude is a fucking beast! Now if I could just get him to stop with that heroin, he's actually be by hero (no homo.) Rock on Cos, ya freak!"
DJ Mighty Mi "I've known Cosmo since we were both 13-year-old young Philly boi's. Even back in 1986, you could tell Cosmo wasent your ordinary cat. Blessed with artistic parents like myself, Cos was groomed on good music, taste, and culture. His very eclectic upbringing is evidenced in his spinning. Cosmo does Philly dj's proud every time he puts on a pair of headphones."
Max Glazer "Cosmo Baker is a real fucking asshole!"
Tittsworth "I'm proud to say that I have looked up to Cosmo Baker for years... as far as musical knowledge, party-rockin' and being an all around amazing dude, there is no substitute!!"
DJ Tat Money "Cos is one of the most dedicated people that I've met. He made The Remedy successful in Philly for many years with this same passion. And that love was felt in the room everynight at Club Fluid. That night was definitely something special. Cos is on point, down to earth and a genuine friend. His selection in music is off the charts. i've had the pleasure of spinning with him and all I can say is That's my man throwin down. Keep doin ya thing brother. Cosmo is the perfect example of a Real dj, Dedicated -focused - skillful and a man of his word."
Matthew Africa "Cosmo is the new new minister of super heavy funk."
Frankie Chan "From the first day I met him Cosmo Baker has been a pillar of support and inspiration, both getting my back at a moment's notice (SXSW '07) and offering words of kindness and advice when his somehow psychic sense knew I needed to hear it most."
DJ Lindsey "Cosmo always inspires me when I hear his mixes or live sets. I love a DJ who can nerd out on rare shit but then still play the hits tastefully. One of my favorites for certain!"
Nick Catchdubs "In the biggest DJ city in the world, where every single one of your friends, neighbors and co-workers is spinning a party on any given night of the week, I still go out of my way to check Cosmo Baker play whenever I can. His style never fails to surprise and inspire in fresh ways."
Dave Nada "Cosmo Baker is a major influence in my musical career. I put him right up there with heroes like James Brown, Afrika Bambaataa, and Masters At Work. He's not a DJ. He's an artist. A soul man."
Emynd "It's not rare to meet someone with a talent for music, but it IS rare to meet someone with so much talent who is so damn giving in every way with that talent: whether we're talking about his DJing, his willingness to share his knowledge, or just hitting you off with a high quality rip of hard-to-find MP3, itgets no better than Cosmo mothereffing Baker."
Scottie B "First things first - Where's Cosmo playing tonight? And that's real!!!"
Kon "Cosmo is that well rounded Classic Philly style DJ that I wish more DJs were like... he's been killing party's with all the hit's we know and love, but I've seen the man wreck shop with a straight funk and soul set... the mans got the cure for male pattern baldness too... Listen and learn !!"
DJ Too Tuff""Cosmo Baker? What can I say about a truly motivated and dedicated pioneer of the club scene, Cos has both supported and inspired me to comeback and strive to live up to my potential. He has far surpassed the title of ground breaking dj and has created and instituted a brand of music and club nights thats to this day has given him a secure and untouchable place in Philly and worldwide hip hop, LONG LIVE THE RUB!!!"
DJ Day "Everything Cosmo does is straight from the heart"
