More quotes by 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
I used to carry a notebook to the studio. I don't do that no more 'cause I don't have the time to write anywhere but right there in the studio on the spot. So when you hear my stuff, know that I wrote it in the studio.
Nas
Some people work hard to be something that they're not, and I don't work at all, I'm just me. And that can bother anybody I'm not working nearly as hard as the other guys, and they don't like it.
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 don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
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 lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
Nas
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
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
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
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
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
There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.
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
I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.
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
Used to ride with him to Brooklyn, Lewis and Halsey, co chocolate thai, vernon style and burn it down
Nas
You can't please everybody. You['d] be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
Nas
