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.

More quotes by Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.
Nas
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
Nas
In hip hop no one cares. No one stands up for it and it's a mess. We need order so we can all follow the tradition of where we came from. We need to keep referring to the pioneers.
Nas
Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.
Nas
Always observe, watch, and talk to older people.
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
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
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
I definitely have plans to do more collaboration albums in the future. I'm a big fan of Common. I'm a big fan of Scarface I'm a big fan of so many people, from Jeezy to... well, there are a lot of people's music that I respect. I don't know who I will collaborate with, but there's a great chance of something happening.
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
Nas
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
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
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
Nas
You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that's who you are. If you don't want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.
Nas
A lot of times it seems like, you ain't gon' make it where you wanna be in life. But, yo if you got a plan, believe me you gon' get there. You gon' get everything you ever wanted
Nas
Failure is not an option, and I always felt like I'm a man who doesn't have regrets, and I don't live with excuses. I can't take excuses.
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
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 don't meditate. Silence is golden though.
Nas
