More quotes by Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
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
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
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
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
Everything will eventually come to an end, So try to savor the moment, cause time flies, don't it? The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better, Cause nothin' lasts forever.
Nas
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
Nas
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
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
Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.
Nas
I have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.
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
Hip-hop is making a lot of noise. It should get some more spotlight.
Nas
Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
Nas
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Nas
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
Nas
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
Nas
I never see the whips niggas be claimin' they drivin, I guess 'entertainment' means blatantly lyin'.
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
