More quotes by 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
To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
Nas
I fell in love with words and I think that made my mom smile. I think that was cool for her.
Nas
I got the opportunity to meet people all over the world. Brilliant women, tall women, short women, slim women, thick women, you name it. But, I don't meet them. I have the opportunities to and it's a little bit - I'm a little shy, so I don't meet them and I don't know who's right for me.
Nas
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
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 didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
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 know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
Nas
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man.
Nas
Calling Michelle 'Obama Barack's baby mama?' Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren't the only targets. Fox's pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.
Nas
Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.
Nas
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
Nas
I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for me.
Nas
I'm a storyteller and the Bible is a bunch of stories about life and things that took place here on planet earth. It's a great example to use and a great reason to be happy about being a storyteller because the lessons of the land are always in stories.
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.
Nas
I never see the whips niggas be claimin' they drivin, I guess 'entertainment' means blatantly lyin'.
Nas
No Ideas original - there is nothing new under the sun.

Africa has been going through so much for so many years it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.
