More quotes by 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
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 live in L.A. because my kids do. Home is where my kids are for me.
Nas
If the truth is told, the youth can grow.
Nas
Every time I get in the studio, I feel like I wanna have some fun. My fun is not doing the easy work. My fun is doing what's me.
Nas
When your so focused on what people say, how can your really be focused on the music? If you're concerned with what someone says, you aren't working on a real record. You're working on something that's just for now, to please people this very second... because you don't believe in yourself.
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
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
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
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
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
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
Props is a true thug's wife.
Nas
Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.
Nas
Always observe, watch, and talk to older people.
Nas
I don't meditate. Silence is golden though.
Nas
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
There's always going to be space for battle in hip hop. For competition. It's just an inseparable part of the game.
Nas
There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.
Nas
