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
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
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
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
I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
Nas
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
Nas
The further I get, the further I want to go
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
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
Nas
I used to carry a notebook to the studio. I don't do that no more 'cause I don't have the time to write anywhere but right there in the studio on the spot. So when you hear my stuff, know that I wrote it in the studio.
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.
Nas
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Nas
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
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
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
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
Nas
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
Nas
For my hustlers, here's some motivation: He who has begun is half done.
