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
Working with great people makes you great you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.
Nas
There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.
Nas
So many affluent men are faced with finding love problems. I'm sure beautiful, affluent women are faced with the same things sometimes.
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.
