Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.

More quotes by 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
I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
Nas
The Internet made the world smaller, so it's easier for people to hear your music. You don't necessarily need a radio record.
Nas
There's always going to be space for battle in hip hop. For competition. It's just an inseparable part of the game.
Nas
If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.
Nas
You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that's who you are. If you don't want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.
Nas
Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words.
Nas
Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.
Nas
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.
Nas
I never see the whips niggas be claimin' they drivin, I guess 'entertainment' means blatantly lyin'.
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
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
In hip hop no one cares. No one stands up for it and it's a mess. We need order so we can all follow the tradition of where we came from. We need to keep referring to the pioneers.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
Nas
For my hustlers, here's some motivation: He who has begun is half done.
Nas
I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
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'm sure we're gonna meet some bumps in the road, but if it's meant to be it will happen.
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
Failure is not an option, and I always felt like I'm a man who doesn't have regrets, and I don't live with excuses. I can't take excuses.
Nas
