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 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
I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh, so when you try to murder me with bullets to the head this is why you can't kill me niggaz, I'm already dead.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent me.
