I honestly think that nikka a little "off". Like missing a few chromosomes or some shyt. Homie definitely ain't all there. He give off a weird vibe.

As a great poster once said, Quentin isn't just a few fries short of a Happy Meal. He's missing the burger, the drink, and the goddamn toy. :deadrose:

I flew out from the UK to witness an iconic moment in hip hop.

Incredible. I got vip tickets so was 5 rows from the front just to the side of the stage and the very row behind me was Elliot Wilson. He looked shook and awkward. Maybe that's just him.

I'm glad I spent that money on the vip because to me this was historic. And I got early entry so I could buy up all the merch lol..... That merch was cold! Msg, knicks, nas one night only merch. Plus the stuff I got with the vip ticket. I met plenty people afterwards that were pissed it sold out!

Before nas even come on the stage green lantern was goin crazy.... He opened his set up with back to life (belly) and from that point on it was a wrap. I heard him play cherchez la ghost in the garden, that is crazy!

As for nas, the moment his voice touched that mic he sounded incredible. All the Kings disease tracks he killed. The big screen beind him had so much dope shyt going on too.

Made you look in the garden rang off, my god. That track hit heavy! Mary coming out probably was the biggest and loudest moment I'd say.

I got a lot of footage but that shyt will make you dizzy lol. I wasn't focused on capturing good video as such, I was liqored and very much wildin, living in the moment.

Still can't beleive I saw nas at msg.

sounds epic. Saw Nas in Paris in the summer so hoping he comes to London this year. But NY where it's at for a Nas show so good choice to go out there for it. Every track must hit different over there

What merch you get? Really liked the tee Supreme did for the show. Was that on sale or was it just the official MSG Nas merch? (Supreme tee may just be a Friends + Family item)

Besides the early entry what were the other perks of getting a VIP ticket?

Flew in from Miami to witness history and it was an incredible night
I copped a seat right behind the floor seats and the stage was right there
GL started off great with the 80s and early 90s classics but then went a little too commercial for my liking. Asked shorty next to me why was he playing commercial joints for a Nas crowd?
She said nostalgia. I said if it's that why not play Eye for an Eye, Verbal Intercourse, Back to the Grill, etc. But I digress.
The God just killed the stage. I saw Run comment on IG "Who's house? Nas house" and he was right.
Mary J. AZ. Slick Rick.
Lotta talk in this thread about bowing down and whatever.
Meanwhile Nas bowed to The Ruler on stage at MSG. That's the level of respect and reverence we should all show to our legends and elders, especially with so many leaving us.
The catalog is so crazy that I was left waiting for 40-16, EPMD, Nas is Like, I Gave You Power, Eye for an Eye, Verbal Intercourse, Live at the BBQ...but come on 30 years deep. We all witnessed greatness regardless.
Gave flowers to Trugoy RIP.
When his voice cracked as he shouted out his mom
:to:
I didn't get my hopes up for Lauryn, that would have brought the house down
Had a fleeting thought that the garden would go completely dark and then suddenly...
"fukk Jay-Z" booms out. Imagine the riot that would have started!
Yes I know...I'm just saying. For the culture and shyt.

What an amazing show. He's certainly come a long way live from when I saw him sloppy drunk at the 2014 Art Basel.
Side note: if you're in the city check out the Hip Hop Conscious/Unconscious photo exhibit at Fotografiska. Mass Appeal is putting that on and the history that's being celebrated deserves your patronage.

Some flicks
