More quotes by Nas
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
When your so focused on what people say, how can your really be focused on the music? If you're concerned with what someone says, you aren't working on a real record. You're working on something that's just for now, to please people this very second... because you don't believe in yourself.
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
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
Nas
Hip-hop is making a lot of noise. It should get some more spotlight.
Nas
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.

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
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Nas
America is a melting pot for all different groups of people, historically. And it's rare that the story of all of these people will be told in the history books. So I always felt I had to find out my history for myself and research my roots.
Nas
My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.
Nas
I definitely have plans to do more collaboration albums in the future. I'm a big fan of Common. I'm a big fan of Scarface I'm a big fan of so many people, from Jeezy to... well, there are a lot of people's music that I respect. I don't know who I will collaborate with, but there's a great chance of something happening.
Nas
I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.
Nas
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Nas
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.
Nas
Everything will eventually come to an end, So try to savor the moment, cause time flies, don't it? The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better, Cause nothin' lasts forever.
Nas
I fell in love with words and I think that made my mom smile. I think that was cool for her.
Nas
I talk about Africa and its meaning, being the birthplace of man and all that great history that's been erased and even hidden. I think it's my duty to be proud and to bring about the conversation that allows us to talk about the great history of my people.
Nas
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
Nas
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
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
