More quotes by 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
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
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
Nas
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
The further I get, the further I want to go
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
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
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
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
Read more learn more, change the globe
Nas
I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.
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
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
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes and best friends become strangers, word up
Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
Nas
Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.
Nas
I'm not talking about Russia in my music. I've never been to Russia. I'm not talking about Africa, Switzerland, China. I'm talking about me being American and growing up in a crazy world and helping to reflect all different sides of life.
Nas
My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
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
