More quotes by 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
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
Nas
A lot of times it seems like, you ain't gon' make it where you wanna be in life. But, yo if you got a plan, believe me you gon' get there. You gon' get everything you ever wanted
Nas
Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
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 just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
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
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
I push my own limits every day, every moment - in the studio, on the stage and beyond so it's truly a genuine fit.
Nas
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
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
I've been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what's in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place I don't have to worry about doing what someone's not doing - I can do me.
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
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 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
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas
I fell in love with words and I think that made my mom smile. I think that was cool for her.
Nas
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Nas
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
