I think most albums deserve a documentary because [an album] is a visual book. You don't have to read up on it because you can listen and watch the whole story. I would love to see lots of albums [become films.]
Nas

Nas
Somehow the rap game remind me of the crack game
Nas

Keep your enemies close, where they can see you. It's not your enemy who get you, it's always your own people.
Nas
