I'm a storyteller and the Bible is a bunch of stories about life and things that took place here on planet earth. It's a great example to use and a great reason to be happy about being a storyteller because the lessons of the land are always in stories.
Nas
I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.
Nas
My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.

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

Nas

Nas
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas
I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
Nas
I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
Nas
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
