Checkout what Nas has to say about parenthood, having crazy baby mommas,marriage and his new album.

Crazy Baby Mommas and Being a Father:

“All fatherhood is very important because single mothers shouldn’t have to raise sons or daughters, they need that help. A lot of times, men may feel like the baby mother is so crazy, “I can’t deal with her, I’m going to let it all go.” I’ve been through it. Or they’re playing games with kids, or whatever. But you know what, you gotta be that man. You gotta be that man for those kids, and even for the crazy baby mother (speaking for all the people out there with the crazy baby mothers). You just gotta do what you gotta do. Just because they’re crazy, that don’t got sh*t to do with what’s going on with your life and you keeping the lights on. And you doing what you gotta do every day. So you gotta do what you gotta do as a man, don’t make excuses.”

Advice on Marriage?

“No, and don’t take anyone’s advice, that’s what you do. Everyone has their own walk, everyone’s relationship is different. But don’t take too much advice, even from a parent sometimes. You know, weed it out and see what stuff makes sense to you. But no, I don’t have any advice. I think marriage is a beautiful thing. I’m still a supporter of it.”

His Album Title: “Life is Good”

“Yeah, when I first initially said it, of course it came as a shock to some of the people around me. Actually it was just one person around me. Jungle (Nas’ brother) is pro “Life Is Good.” He’s one of the main riders for that title, along with everybody else. It was really just one dude, but everybody else over stand (sic) it. “Life Is Good” — there’s nothing better than that. There’s nothing touching that. And that’s real.”
