More quotes by Nas
I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for me.
Nas
No matter where you're from - you can be Native American, Italian, Jewish, Latino, African-American - whatever you are, we're all distant relatives.
Nas
I used to carry a notebook to the studio. I don't do that no more 'cause I don't have the time to write anywhere but right there in the studio on the spot. So when you hear my stuff, know that I wrote it in the studio.
Nas
You can't please everybody. You['d] be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
Nas
Big L scared me to death. When I heard that on tape, I was scared to death. I was like there's no way I can compete if this is what I gotta compete with.
Nas
You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that's who you are. If you don't want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.
Nas
Hip-hop is making a lot of noise. It should get some more spotlight.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
If the truth is told, the youth can grow.
Nas
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
Nas
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
Nas
I didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs.
Nas
I think most albums deserve a documentary because [an album] is a visual book. You don't have to read up on it because you can listen and watch the whole story. I would love to see lots of albums [become films.]
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
Nas
In hip hop no one cares. No one stands up for it and it's a mess. We need order so we can all follow the tradition of where we came from. We need to keep referring to the pioneers.
Nas
I sip the Dom P watching Gandhi til I'm charged - writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
Nas
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
When I write a story, I just wanna tell you what's in my head. It can come from real life and then turn into fantasy, stuff just rhyming. And write about what you know. I just like to tell stories that have not been told or [told] from my perspective.
Nas
I guess entertainment means blatantly lyin'
