More quotes by Nas
I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
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
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
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
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
Hip-hop is really standoffish. It's really competitive and it's really about who's number one all the time. Sometimes it gets out of hand.
Nas
I don't have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas
Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.
Nas
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Nas
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
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
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
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
I got the opportunity to meet people all over the world. Brilliant women, tall women, short women, slim women, thick women, you name it. But, I don't meet them. I have the opportunities to and it's a little bit - I'm a little shy, so I don't meet them and I don't know who's right for me.
Nas
I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for 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 want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat. I go with the rhythm of it and the words start to come to my mind and those words could be based on things that's been on my mind for the past year, the past month, the past week, whatever I write it.
Nas
Never stop. Never settle. I believe in this message.
Nas
