More quotes by Nas
Hip-hop is really standoffish. It's really competitive and it's really about who's number one all the time. Sometimes it gets out of hand.
Nas
I don't have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.
Nas
Every time I get in the studio, I feel like I wanna have some fun. My fun is not doing the easy work. My fun is doing what's me.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
I used to carry a notebook to the studio. I don't do that no more 'cause I don't have the time to write anywhere but right there in the studio on the spot. So when you hear my stuff, know that I wrote it in the studio.
Nas
I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.
Nas
Vocabulary spills I'm ill.
Nas
I don't respect killers, I respect O.G. knowledge, Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance. Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple Folks, take care of your brothers, niggas do as I do. Keep your enemies close, where they can see you. It's not your enemy who get you, it's always your own people.
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
I'm over dey heads like a bulemic on a seesaw
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
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 used to keep a dictionary and work with it and then I realized there are more words that exist in the English language than there are in this dictionary.
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
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
When I try to sound like the contemporary sound, it never turns out that way.
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
Nas
Always observe, watch, and talk to older people.
Nas
I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
Nas
