More quotes by Nas
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
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
Big L scared me to death. When I heard that on tape, I was scared to death. I was like there's no way I can compete if this is what I gotta compete with.
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
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
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
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
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.

There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.
Nas
I never see the whips niggas be claimin' they drivin, I guess 'entertainment' means blatantly lyin'.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
I've been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what's in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place I don't have to worry about doing what someone's not doing - I can do me.
Nas
When your so focused on what people say, how can your really be focused on the music? If you're concerned with what someone says, you aren't working on a real record. You're working on something that's just for now, to please people this very second... because you don't believe in yourself.
Nas
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes and best friends become strangers, word up
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nas
Unfortunately, man, a lot of places in America have to deal with unnecessary violence. Somebody like me who knows it firsthand and could relate... I had a best friend killed, plenty other friends killed. I been through it. I seen it.
Nas
