More quotes by Nas
I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.
Nas
The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.
Nas
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes and best friends become strangers, word up
Nas
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
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 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
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
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
No Ideas original - there is nothing new under the sun.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.
Nas
Hip-hop artist, especially the older ones, are the ones who new hip-hop was a worldwide phenomenon before the mainstream caught on, so hip-hop artists are forward thinkers. We want to stay with the new.
Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent me.
Nas
Hip-hop is making a lot of noise. It should get some more spotlight.
Nas
I've gone through too much, from beefs to divorce to my mom passing which I always expressed in my music, so there's not album that sticks out as more important than the other to me.
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
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
I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
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
