More quotes by Nas
Dogs live longer than rappers.
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
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
Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
Always observe, watch, and talk to older people.
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
If the truth is told, the youth can grow.
Nas
Rule No. 1 is you can't be fake. If you're fake, you become a gimmick and you're selling a gimmick a little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.
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 don't meditate. Silence is golden though.
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
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nas
I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real 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
There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.
Nas
I used to keep a dictionary and work with it and then I realized there are more words that exist in the English language than there are in this dictionary.
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
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.
