I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
Rule No. 1 is you can't be fake. If you're fake, you become a gimmick and you're selling a gimmick a little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.
Nas
Africa has been going through so much for so many years it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.
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
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
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
What you base your happiness around? Material, women, and large paper? That means you inferior, not major.

The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas
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'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
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
My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.
Nas
I know you think my life is good 'cause my diamond piece, But my life been good since I started finding peace.
Nas
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
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
If I made an album just to sell you a story about how I'm the man, it really doesn't show any human side to me. It's good to talk about what's real and what's relevant.
Nas
Just do as much as you can.
Nas
I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
