I'm the young city bandit, ho...

I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from home

Nas 202 quotes

Me and hip-hop have a relatio...

Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.

Nas 202 quotes

It hurts to see anybody in pa...

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

Nas 202 quotes

I think it's harder to make a...

I think it's harder to make a classic now, not because of what people say, but because artists now are so concerned with what people say.

Nas 202 quotes

Life is short is what some ni...

Life is short is what some niggaz said; not if you measure life - by how one lives and what he did.

Nas 202 quotes

I'm sure we're gonna meet some bumps in the road, but if it's meant to be it will happen.

Nas 202 quotes

I think a lot of us know when...

I think a lot of us know when it's our time. No matter what profession you're in, you get a feeling. If you worked on it long enough, you know when it's ready.

Nas 202 quotes

In the past I had to deal wit...

In the past I had to deal with issues that hit me as a younger man. As a man who wasn't married who didn't really have the experience that I have now. Today I'm a different guy.

Nas 202 quotes

You got a handful of great gu...

You got a handful of great guys - Ne-Yo, R. Kelly, Usher. You have a handful of great female artists. But for the most part the music world's changing and change is good. You have to make adjustments if you want to survive in that world.

God gushed me out his nuts, the devil swallowed me up and I burnt a hole in his guts

Nas 202 quotes

I've gone through too much, f...

I've gone through too much, from beefs to divorce to my mom passing which I always expressed in my music, so there's not album that sticks out as more important than the other to me.

Nas 202 quotes

There's really nothing better...

There's really nothing better than music to bring people together and to have amazing music being not just created inside walls but then decimating and activating is going to be special.

Nas 202 quotes

When I made Illmatic, I was t...

When I made Illmatic, I was trying to make the perfect album. It comes from the days of Wild Style. I was trying to make you experience my life. I wanted you to look at hip-hop differently. I wanted you to feel that hip-hop was changing and becoming something more real.

Nas 202 quotes

At one point, the old school ...

At one point, the old school club retires and you're next up to bat, but if you stop before your time, you will see someone else live your dream.

Nas 202 quotes

Hip-hop ain't died because of...

Hip-hop ain't died because of the South, that's retarded. When I named the album originally, I thought I bit off more than I could chew but you'd be an idiot to think I'm talking about how the South killed hip-hop or how New York isn't where it should be or where it once was. It was like, "Damn, I need to explain this?" But I thought, "Nah, the proof is right there. We should know what it is." I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.

Nas 202 quotes

I got the opportunity to meet...

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 202 quotes

The Chinamen built the railroad, the Indians saved the Pilgrim,
And in return, the Pilgrim killed 'em.
They call it it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday 'hell-day.'

You ni**az get me sick, wannabe soundin like you know my arithmetic... but we don't sound alike

Nas 202 quotes

There needs to be structures ...

There needs to be structures in place to do something about misrepresentation about hip hop. When awards are given out and the media talk about hip hop, they're confused because they haven't done their homework on it so you have a case where there's an award for the most pop song in the world and it's called 'hip hop'.

Nas 202 quotes

I just appreciate what Andre ...

I just appreciate what Andre 3000 has done musically - just the bravery. I think Andre 3000 may be one of the bravest artists in rap music.
