More quotes by Nas
Somehow the rap game remind me of the crack game
Nas
I'm a reader, so when I go to bookstores I need (stuff) that's going to help me. There a big emptiness there and I want to help fill that through song.
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
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
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
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
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 afraid of criticism but I always put myself in a sacrificial position,they been know I ain't just rappin for fame
Nas
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.
Nas
I don't meditate. Silence is golden though.
Nas
I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
Nas
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
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
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent me.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind
Nas
I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.
Nas
There was a lot of negative that was put on rappers for using the word, and I feel like we're just misunderstood. Most of us are some of us is just plain wack.
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
