More quotes by Nas
Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.
Nas
You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that's who you are. If you don't want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
Nas
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
Nas
Rule No. 1 is you can't be fake. If you're fake, you become a gimmick and you're selling a gimmick a little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.
Nas
People have stopped battling in hip hop, in the primitive sense, and the focus of the competitive element has shifted to the music. It's less about bragging and more about being the best lyrically and poetically.
Nas
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
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 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
The reason I want to be alone, is I'm tired of all the things that went wrong that would've went right if I had did 'em on my own
Nas
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind
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
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
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
Hip-hop is bigger than the South, hip-hop is bigger than New York.
Nas
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
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
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.
Nas
All I need is one mic One beat, one stage One ni%$a frontin' my face on the front page Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib One god to show me how to do things his son did.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
