More quotes by Nas
I sip the Dom P watching Gandhi til I'm charged - writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
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
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
Life is short is what some niggaz said not if you measure life - by how one lives and what he did.
Nas
If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
Nas
I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do.
Nas
Hip-hop is really standoffish. It's really competitive and it's really about who's number one all the time. Sometimes it gets out of hand.
Nas
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
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
Unfortunately, man, a lot of places in America have to deal with unnecessary violence. Somebody like me who knows it firsthand and could relate... I had a best friend killed, plenty other friends killed. I been through it. I seen it.
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
The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.
Nas
There's really nothing better than music to bring people together and to have amazing music being not just created inside walls but then decimating and activating is going to be special.
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
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
Nas
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
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
