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
If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.
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 never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
