More quotes by 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
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas
I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
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
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
Nas
I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.
Nas
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.
Nas
I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth. Not the biased truth, Not the liest truth, But the highest truth.
Nas
I want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat. I go with the rhythm of it and the words start to come to my mind and those words could be based on things that's been on my mind for the past year, the past month, the past week, whatever I write it.
Nas
Dogs live longer than rappers.
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nas
I've gone through too much, from beefs to divorce to my mom passing which I always expressed in my music, so there's not album that sticks out as more important than the other to me.
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
For my hustlers, here's some motivation: He who has begun is half done.
Nas
Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.
Nas
I'm a storyteller and the Bible is a bunch of stories about life and things that took place here on planet earth. It's a great example to use and a great reason to be happy about being a storyteller because the lessons of the land are always in stories.
Nas
Always observe, watch, and talk to older people.
Nas
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
Nas
