I'm going, duh.


Seriously, the show's gonna be insane. Talib Kweli first part JEA, I hope Nas won't do to much of his new shit ... and do more of his old stuff, Illmatic, It Was Written, etc....

thats some wishful thinknig right there. most likely, hes going to do only new shit because tours are really just album promotion.

maybe if you chant Represent after hes done,, hell play it as an encore or something.

then again, i could be totally wrong. tell me what happens

I was going to go to that but I realized I don't like Nas that much. I'd only pay $40+ for Wu Tang, which I did but then it was canceled.

YO NAS IS THE SHIIIIIT! I saw him in Calgary last summer and it was hands down the best show ive ever seen in my life. He got super into the crowd and was blazin on stage with everyone. To the dude who said hes only guna play his new stuff you couldnt be more wrong. I know all of his music and he played all of the best of it. I couldnt believe it  but he played almost all of illmatic and prety much all the best songs off his older cd's. Of course he does new songs to but he didnt play nything shity.

Seriously dude ur going to have an epic time. bring a fat L with you is my advice.

I saw Nas last year on the Hip hop is dead tour at Harry o's in PC (insert *claim icon*) it was amazing, he dropped all the classics,  ALL OF THEM and his bling was off the hook, that fat gold chain with the huge Egyption medallion. we got VIP (*claim icon* again) I drank way to many vodka redbulls and dont remember the end of the night but I do remember going mental to One MIC! you will love it YO!

i be where i wanna be.

be B-Boys and girls, listen up
you can be anything in the world, in God we trust
an architect, doctor, maybe an actress
but nothing comes easy it takes much practice
like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
she was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
hung with the wrong person
got her strung on that
heroin, cocaine, sniffin up drugs all in her nose
coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old
no fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
cause she smells of corrosion and death
watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
so if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how
put your hands in the air, and take a vow



my song back in the day.

^you came back early
k my review of the show:
Jay Electronica:
SO ILL CHECK OUT HIS SHIT
Talib Kweli:
super sick live performer, would have liked to hear more though, but the show can't last all night long
Nas:
GREAT, NEARLY FLAWLESS he did his songs following somewhat of a chronological order (with a few exceptions) ... he a few tracks of his new album, fortunately, the best ones (NIGGER, Sly Fox, Breathe, Esco Let's Go - which isn't on the album but on the Nigger Tape)
So a lot of Illmatic and It Was Written tracks, all the other classics on God's Son, I Am, Nastradamus, etc.etc.(with infortunately Oochie Wally and You Owe me, but he only did little parts so it was fine)
He has a lot of energy and stamina, the show was long, he did all his song
Said Montreal was his favorite show this year, I believe it's true
Did not do Hero nor I Can nor ETHER (fuck)
I would have liked to hear more, but the show finished abruptly, wish his kinda good in a certain way, cuz he goes straight to the point, but a was a little shocked.... neverthless the 1.25$ beers at the foufs made me forgot about it
