More quotes by Nas
I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.
Nas
New York city is full of great spaces. The best spaces of the world are here. This is the new Europe, where the settlers came and busted out their ideas and put it down so there's nothing but great space in this great city.
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
Hip-hop is bigger than the South, hip-hop is bigger than New York.
Nas
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
Nas
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
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
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
I don't respect killers, I respect O.G. knowledge, Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance. Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple Folks, take care of your brothers, niggas do as I do. Keep your enemies close, where they can see you. It's not your enemy who get you, it's always your own people.
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
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
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
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
All I need is one mic One beat, one stage One ni%$a frontin' my face on the front page Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib One god to show me how to do things his son did.
Nas
Props is a true thug's wife.
Nas
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
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 had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
