More quotes by Nas
I didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs.
Nas
I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.
Nas
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne

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
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've been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what's in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place I don't have to worry about doing what someone's not doing - I can do me.
Nas
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
Nas
I guess entertainment means blatantly lyin'
Nas
No Ideas original - there is nothing new under the sun.
Nas
Some people work hard to be something that they're not, and I don't work at all, I'm just me. And that can bother anybody I'm not working nearly as hard as the other guys, and they don't like it.
Nas
If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.
Nas
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
Nas
Hip-hop is such an amazing thing that kids still want to do it. They're not saying, Ugh, that's the old people's music. No, they're younger than they've ever been that want to get into hip-hop music.
Nas
I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
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
Just do as much as you can.

Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
