Official Nas Thread

[waynep]

give a lot of credit to Damian those DR shows Rock the Bells festivals were . Plus he's expanded his catalog he even performed Rewind last night. Even if the crowd doesn't know the newer material he can pull em right back with a Represent or Halftime for example. Very few solo acts can do that

Rewind??? Wow!
Did he remember the whole song and was the crowd feeling it??

Does Nas perform “Patience”? When I saw him he didn’t but that was an Illmatic-centered show, he just threw in some of the classics when he finished Illmatic.

Lowkey, “Patience” is his biggest song by far, I don’t know about chart positions but people who don’t even like rap know and love that song, that ish would have a stadium holding up lighters and all that

Definitely should add that song to the concert tracklist. Song is incredible

In one of his recent shows he performed it and he ran through all the lyrics pretty smooth.

1). Yes people LOVE Patience and i’ve had people who aren’t Nas fans cite that as a favorite of theirs.

2). I’ve seen him 7 times in concert, 6 of those after 2010 and he’s NEVER performed any Distant Relatives material, any Hip Hop Is Dead (except for the first time I ever saw him in 07) material or any Untitled material sadly. The only Streets Disciple song i’ve ever seen him perform is Thief's Theme and it was only as a medley.

It's cool to be mainstream/ I rather be timeless
Nas in 2022

 

[Danie84]

After doing an album of 17 songs with no features and it be high quality, I want to see what Nas and Hit Boy do next. Will they give us KD4 or let the King's Disease series exist as a trilogy and give us something entirely different?

5th album should be called MADNESS, because this is an unprecedented run for a 30 year Hip-Hop Vet;

 

[Danie84]

Oochie Wally and You Owe Me went crazy when they dropped and anyone who says different wasn’t around or stayed in the house imo.

And, just imagine if Nas & Babygirl had drop that planned You Won't See Me Tonight video

 

[L. Deezy]

Hard to disagree song doesn't get mentioned enough it's up there peak level Nas. The very best of Nas is on that joint

"Watching for paint chips dont want no lead in child
But them gangsters put lead in yo child"

"Eyes cut every direction, its like God or Guns...which is better protection? Cant decide, thats a hard one"

^^^ in two lines this nygga is essentially questioning the world which is based on the ideology of God and the world and street wars"

Nas was insane on this!!!!

I dont think Nas has more quotables in a song than this one..
