More quotes by 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
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
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
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
Nas
Today, with the media, the internet, things get out there about anybody, anytime, so there's nothing wrong about talking about your life, because someone else is going to talk about it and mess it up.
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 go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.
Nas
You can't please everybody. You['d] be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
I want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat. I go with the rhythm of it and the words start to come to my mind and those words could be based on things that's been on my mind for the past year, the past month, the past week, whatever I write it.
Nas
Whose world is this? The world is yours.
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
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
Nas
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
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
Rule No. 1 is you can't be fake. If you're fake, you become a gimmick and you're selling a gimmick a little gimmick is cool, this is entertainment. But when you base your stuff on mostly real stuff, you never run out of it because every day is a different adventure.
Nas
I guess entertainment means blatantly lyin'
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
