I was at the show.
Mad as hell I missed out on the merch they had this Nas X Knicks MSG one night collabo capsule but by the time I got in the line, the merch was sold. Hopefully they'll put it online later like they have the Nas/Wu tour merch
Green Lantern had the crowd warmed up with strictly east coast classics but specific ones (Top billin, Rakim, KRS, Kane, LL, Eve, Lox, Big Pun, Biggie, Kim, CNN, Mobb Deep
When he started going through first half of KD 1 I was like "This man really gonna play the album in full" but he switched it up. and went into KD 2 and KD 3 stuff
Anyone catch how he was like "I write my life, I write my shyt, fukk the haters" part when he started The Pressure?
He's been listening to the fukkery
Wasnt prepared to see him get emotional I think when it was One Mic or something talking about how his Mom used to work at the post office across from the Garden. You could hear his voice cracking a little and was definetly welling up for every project nikka who made it
AZ, Slick Rick, Mary J were incredible.
Was funny in the interlude (When they were playing Loco-Motive as he changing) when they started putting his albums up and seeing which ones got loud ovations and didnt (Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, Life is Good and the KD stuff definetly got the loudest pops on my side )
All in all it was a great show. I was curious how the crowd would react to the new KD stuff since it might not be familar to the masses and this is New York and an older crowd but on my side it seems people were rocking with it and the energy got stronger with each new song (Spicy, 30, Reminsice, Get Light, Blue Benz, 27, Speechless got good reactions)
Would have loved to have heard to have 40-16 Building but cant complain.
All in all it was just amazing to see Nas in New York in the Garden with the new shyt. It was historic for that alone. Good energy, good seeing Coop and Eeze in the arena and seeing theres still New Yorkers who fukk with Nas.
crickets all of sudden
I'm glad he did the bolded. He should caption that on social media as well. I KNOW QM ain't allowed in the studio with Nas no more.I was at the show.

No 'Nas Is Like', No 'The Cure', No 3rd verse to 'The World Is Yours'
IWW anniversary show this July would be perfect no fukking way I would miss that. I'll book right now if he announced it
I'm surprised that cac Michael Rapport wasn't there. I remember him sitting behind us at the Time is Illmatic screening reciting NYSOMNo 'Nas Is Like', No 'The Cure', No 3rd verse to 'The World Is Yours'
It's all good tho. I swear we fed off Nas' energy cause the majority of the people stood the whole night, damn near reciting every verse... and someone was mad that the Firm didn't perform talking about "Where was Cormega and Foxy at? It's not like they have anything else to do now anyway" lol
I saw Elliot Wilson in attendance. I'm sure his stannery showed last night
Speaking of IWW, I saw a shorty with a fire arm tat of the IWW cover .. I definitely thought about getting that tat for a moment lolIWW anniversary show this July would be perfect no fukking way I would miss that. I'll book right now if he announced it

"
They all low key Nas stans even the hero they worshipHe probably was lol. I just happened to catch Elliot walking just on some random shyt. My boy was like "Isn't he a Jay stan, what the fukk is he doing here
. Look how many times he's mentioned sampled on the other guy first 2 albums
