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
There was a lot of negative that was put on rappers for using the word, and I feel like we're just misunderstood. Most of us are some of us is just plain wack.
