I knew he had to be working on something special for touring. Those Festivals pay him alot but they were just spaced out for a album

I wish Nas pushed all his past albums as hard as he's trying to push this one. My man released a gem and it's gonna struggle to hit gold. He got five videos for this album and can't get a gold plaque. With arguably the best rap album in the past few years.

still got a solid crossover single + video with cherry wine and a tour coming

Both will the cherry wine and the tour (with lauryn's help) will attract that 25-40 year old woman fanbase who buys albums so he should be able to grind it out and get a gold plaque to continue his streak of certified albums.

i have faith

He'll get to gold, I have no doubt. I'm just puzzled on why he didn't announced a major tour sooner. I can understand staying around LA/NY for promotion initially, but I had hoped he'd do a big country wide tour asap. Maybe take Premo, J Cole (or some similar young rapper), and an older act and just go crush cities breh

Any of my Atlanta brehs going to the concert?

I'll be at JROTC in New Orleans training to go to Aphghanistan. :scusthov: this has been the WORST year for me when it comes to this shyt. I'm training rift now in the middle of fukking nowhere with Mosquitos eating my black ass alive and missing out on the F&L2 leak, And now I'll be missing this. I saw Nas live in concert at the Tabernacle in 07 and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. That's my Goat:noah:
