More quotes by Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
Nas
Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.
Nas
No Ideas original - there is nothing new under the sun.
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
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
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
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
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
Never stop. Never settle. I believe in this message.
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
I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.
Nas
Dogs live longer than rappers.
Nas
Hip-hop is such an amazing thing that kids still want to do it. They're not saying, Ugh, that's the old people's music. No, they're younger than they've ever been that want to get into hip-hop music.
Nas
I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.
Nas
I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do.
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
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
