More quotes by Nas
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
There's always going to be space for battle in hip hop. For competition. It's just an inseparable part of the game.
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent me.
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
Today, with the media, the internet, things get out there about anybody, anytime, so there's nothing wrong about talking about your life, because someone else is going to talk about it and mess it up.
Nas
I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.
Nas
I've been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what's in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place I don't have to worry about doing what someone's not doing - I can do me.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
If I made an album just to sell you a story about how I'm the man, it really doesn't show any human side to me. It's good to talk about what's real and what's relevant.
Nas
Failure is not an option, and I always felt like I'm a man who doesn't have regrets, and I don't live with excuses. I can't take excuses.
Nas
Hip-hop is such an amazing thing that kids still want to do it. They're not saying, Ugh, that's the old people's music. No, they're younger than they've ever been that want to get into hip-hop music.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
Nas
I live in L.A. because my kids do. Home is where my kids are for me.
Nas
I wanted to say what wasn't being said. I wanted to give people a real story. I wanted people to know people like me exist in the world.
Nas
Props is a true thug's wife.
Nas
Somehow the rap game remind me of the crack game
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
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
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
Nas
