Yeah, and it really is hard to believe with their big date just weeks away where they were really about to be celebrated.
Major bummer that Phife and Dave are both gone. Hip hop would not be nearly the same without the Native Tongues.
Was lucky enough to see De La on tour with LL, Public Enemy, and Ice Cube in 2013. So glad I bit the bullet and went for the expensive Nas tickets at MSG in a couple weeks too. Gotta see the legends when I have the chance.
Man! I’m typically more of a small venue, underground hip hop guy when it comes to show preferences, but Nas at the Garden is the ultimate arena show I can think of, for me at least.Pretty cool experience - the Nas show going to be incredible
That WSG album is really good IMO, and that one is definitely one of my favorites on the album.
Nas at the Garden tomorrow!!!
Ooooh, that’s an all timer.
Man, if that didn’t cross w my current trip, that’s a fly out for me…hopefully that happens again or something equivalentNas at the Garden tomorrow!!!
It was great. Nas and Wu-Tang did a bunch of shows last summer that seemed to do really well too - so hopefully he’ll keep going. He did a great job performing - he did the second verse of Memory Lane with no beat and nailed it. Crazy how he’s basically no different than he was 20 years ago as a rapper.Man, if that didn’t cross w my current trip, that’s a fly out for me…hopefully that happens again or something equivalent
I was never much of a Wayne fan or a Swizz Beats fan, but this is pretty good to me.

Glad Wayne is actually rapping over a beat that sounds like a rap beat should sound. Seems like the kind of guy who might trend hop and be out here at 40 sing songing it up over some generic trap beats that sound like all the rest of those trap beats from the last 8 years, so I’m relieved he’s not doing that.
Ha. I didn’t record many of my own, but doesn’t look like I can post videos here from my phone anyway? Only photos?I go back and forth on him, but overall I throw in the great category, but much, much, much, much more spotty than most greats are - but his wordplay when he's on is pretty insane.
I watched some of the Nas vids...so good. I get mad every time that dude films the crowd and holds it for about 49 seconds. I don't want to see your friend!

Man, maybe I’ll try something like that. I got a couple good ones and was right in front of the stage. And the guy in front of me…his energy needs to be felt. His arms and hands ruined half my videos/photos but I didn’t even care. I appreciated that he was just in the moment enjoying the concert. I mostly was too, but had to capture a few things.FACT.
When I had that convoy I created a stupid Vimeo account just to post some vids...

Tangent, but I just Googled Swiss Beatz randomly and he's NOT from Eritrea! His Father is.
I always argue with a Jamaican friend at work that's half-Eritrean that Eritrea is the worst, cuz they always say the US is the worst (and that's my joking counter-argument). But, they always claim Swiss Beatz is from there as some sort of looney-toons defense. But it's a LIE! He's from the Bronx!!!!!
Not super close, but close enough….I was in the risers - behind the floor seats, but in front of the regular arena seats, but directly in front of the stage, angle wise. Actually the sound guys and all their equipment were right next to me.Do it! I mean, people caught randomly on video are awesome - or people going bananas generally. If you're filming your friend for 27 seconds straight rapping along with Nas I might make a little fun
That'd be cool though if you could post them. You were that close????
