More quotes by Nas
I think it's harder to make a classic now, not because of what people say, but because artists now are so concerned with what people say.
Nas
My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
Nas
I live in L.A. because my kids do. Home is where my kids are for me.
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
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh, so when you try to murder me with bullets to the head this is why you can't kill me niggaz, I'm already dead.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
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 don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
The reason I want to be alone, is I'm tired of all the things that went wrong that would've went right if I had did 'em on my own
Nas
Calling Michelle 'Obama Barack's baby mama?' Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren't the only targets. Fox's pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.
Nas
I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
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
There's really nothing better than music to bring people together and to have amazing music being not just created inside walls but then decimating and activating is going to be special.
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
How can you lose when you're doing you?
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
Somehow the rap game remind me of the crack game
Nas
I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
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
