More quotes by Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
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 live in L.A. because my kids do. Home is where my kids are for me.
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
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent 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
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for me.
Nas
Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.
Nas
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.
Nas
If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.
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
My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.
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
Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words.
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
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
The further I get, the further I want to go
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
