More quotes by Nas
Hip-hop is bigger than the South, hip-hop is bigger than New York.
Nas
If I made an album just to sell you a story about how I'm the man, it really doesn't show any human side to me. It's good to talk about what's real and what's relevant.
Nas
Working with great people makes you great you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.
Nas
Vocabulary spills I'm ill.
Nas
Props is a true thug's wife.
Nas
I think most albums deserve a documentary because [an album] is a visual book. You don't have to read up on it because you can listen and watch the whole story. I would love to see lots of albums [become films.]
Nas
I've gone through too much, from beefs to divorce to my mom passing which I always expressed in my music, so there's not album that sticks out as more important than the other to me.
Nas
I want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat. I go with the rhythm of it and the words start to come to my mind and those words could be based on things that's been on my mind for the past year, the past month, the past week, whatever I write it.
Nas
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
Nas
I didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs.
Nas
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.
Nas
My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.
Nas
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
The big stars in rap, they were too big, so when my rap generation started, it was about bringing you inside my apartment. It wasn't about being a rap star it was about anything other than.
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
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
If the truth is told, the youth can grow.
