More quotes by Nas
Hip-hop is making a lot of noise. It should get some more spotlight.
Nas
What you base your happiness around? Material, women, and large paper? That means you inferior, not major.
Nas
No matter where you're from - you can be Native American, Italian, Jewish, Latino, African-American - whatever you are, we're all distant relatives.
Nas
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
Never stop. Never settle. I believe in this message.
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
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
I've been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what's in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place I don't have to worry about doing what someone's not doing - I can do me.
Nas
Africa has been going through so much for so many years it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.
Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
Nas
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
Nas
There was a lot of negative that was put on rappers for using the word, and I feel like we're just misunderstood. Most of us are some of us is just plain wack.
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
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
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
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
I don't have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.
Nas
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
Nas
