More quotes by Nas
No matter where you're from - you can be Native American, Italian, Jewish, Latino, African-American - whatever you are, we're all distant relatives.
Nas
Just do as much as you can.
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
I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
Whose world is this? The world is yours.
Nas
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
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
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
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
The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.
Nas
People have stopped battling in hip hop, in the primitive sense, and the focus of the competitive element has shifted to the music. It's less about bragging and more about being the best lyrically and poetically.
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
Nas
The Internet made the world smaller, so it's easier for people to hear your music. You don't necessarily need a radio record.
Nas
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
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 have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.
Nas
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
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.
