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
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
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.

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
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
Nas
I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.
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
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
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Nas
When I try to sound like the contemporary sound, it never turns out that way.
