More quotes by 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
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.

In hip hop no one cares. No one stands up for it and it's a mess. We need order so we can all follow the tradition of where we came from. We need to keep referring to the pioneers.
Nas
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.

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
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
So many affluent men are faced with finding love problems. I'm sure beautiful, affluent women are faced with the same things sometimes.
Nas
Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.
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
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
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
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
Nas
I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
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
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
Nas
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
Nas
