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

Nas

Nas
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nas
When I write a story, I just wanna tell you what's in my head. It can come from real life and then turn into fantasy, stuff just rhyming. And write about what you know. I just like to tell stories that have not been told or [told] from my perspective.
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
Nas

Nas
