An interviewer asked Nas about the pigeon next to him on the cover and I've copied what Nas said below - I just love birds. It’s funny how I love birds. The way they see the world is like, not even dealing with the bullshit we dealing with. We deal with money and cars and smog and pollution and drugs. You know, walking the streets. It’s like being in the water for fish. The difference between them and fish, being in the sky they can fly and look at the world without dealing with our bullshit. Matter of fact they shit on us. So the way they look at things, I really admire them. It represents life also. On the 'Stillmatic' album cover I needed some life-a plant, a tree. The skys probably looking dark as it's NYC post 9/11
