Nas has been talking to Radio 1 about the stresses of balancing a rap career with a happy home life. "It does become kinda hard," he said. "It makes you just kinda wanna just chill out because all the shit that comes with it - people can hate you, or it becomes dangerous. A lot of rappers are walking around with guns. So there comes a time when you just wanna relax and stay home with your family. But I manage to do it - I don't live my life full-time as a rapper. I don't go to sleep with a Rolls-Royce in my bed, I don't talk to my daughter like - Yo, wassup?'... you know what I mean, I'm a human being."
