More quotes by 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
People afraid of criticism but I always put myself in a sacrificial position,they been know I ain't just rappin for fame
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.

Everything will eventually come to an end, So try to savor the moment, cause time flies, don't it? The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better, Cause nothin' lasts forever.
Nas
I talk about Africa and its meaning, being the birthplace of man and all that great history that's been erased and even hidden. I think it's my duty to be proud and to bring about the conversation that allows us to talk about the great history of my people.
Nas
My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.
Nas
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
Nas
I'm not talking about Russia in my music. I've never been to Russia. I'm not talking about Africa, Switzerland, China. I'm talking about me being American and growing up in a crazy world and helping to reflect all different sides of life.
Nas
My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
Nas
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
Nas
Props is a true thug's wife.
Nas
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
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
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
No Ideas original - there is nothing new under the sun.

Nas
Just do as much as you can.
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
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
