I think marriage is a beautiful thing. I’m still a supporter of it.

Nas

I want each album to say something different and be accepted better than the last one but I don’t have any point to outdo any particular album of mine.

Nas

I want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat.

I’ve been lucky enough to reach a place where I can speak what’s in my heart, and people know that it comes from a real place; I don’t have to worry about doing what someone’s not doing – I can do me.

Nas

I’ve learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.

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.

If the truth is told, the youth can grow.

Nas

In hip hop no one cares. No one stands up for it and it’s a mess. We need order so we can all follow the tradition of where we came from. We need to keep referring to the pioneers.

Nas

It hurts to see anybody in pain, if you’ve got any kind of heart.

Nas

It’s foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
