While we're on Where's The Love:

Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
Maybe just a typical thug nikka was my rank
'Cept I had a vision above nikkas, what I think
It's crazy how many brothers come where I come from
Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung

This is my favourite bit :lawd: especially the second half.
His flow on this part, wooooo..crazy!

I love this part too, but I don't like the beat. Had I not read this verse online on rapgenius I would not have realized how hard Nas was spitting. I don't like the hook or the beat all.

This is how you know an emcee is nice. Nas' bars alone made me like this song.

Nas: Five minutes with a legend | | Independent Arts Blogs

"..the set of three London dates at a selection of tiny venues were a rare treat for fans of the icon, ahead of his O2 Arena show in March next year..."




:whoo: Nasir bout to have his own headline concert at O2?
Yo that's a 20,000 seat arena though.

Then again both him and Damian did a show at Wembly last year and so did MMG this year :ehh: and the demand for Hip-Hop shows is big in the UK

:ohlawd:

:to: that's my fav rapper getting stadium status in my eurocrakka land brehs

Better come with the ill for the stage show. Orchestra for Hate me Now, QB backdrop for Illmatic like RTB

Looks like the first dates for his international tour are coming together and he finally doing them big arenas and stadiums this time

Him and Damian FINALLY doing the Africa world tour.

Damian Marley & Nas To Perform 2 Concerts In Ghana | Music | Peacefmonline.com


The exact venues for both shows have not been confirmed yet but with some ‘gossip’ reaching the Ghamaicans Crew, it is likely Damian and Nas would be picking the Accra Sports Stadium and the Labadi Beach for both concerts.
Damian Marley’s management in an earlier conversation revealed to Ghamaicans that the dome of the Accra International Conference Centre would be too small for both Damian and Nas hence they would need a more bigger space that can engage a bigger audience. :jawalrus:



This tour is line with a tour project dubbed “Damian Marley-Nas Africa Tour” – which relates to their joint album released in 2010 called “Distant Relatives”. Countries to host Damian Marley and Nas are South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Ghana. The team would be playing 2 concerts in each of the mapped countries.
Ghana however would be ending the chart as the last country Damian and Nas will bring the crème-de-la-crème show. The album “Distant Relatives” currently rates as the highest selling Reggae album on the international market which has sold almost 5 million copies. (:usure: Did it actually sell 5 mil overseas?) The album when released in 2010 sold 57,000 copies in USA alone during the first week – higher than any Reggae album sold.

February 1, 2013 –Friday – Capetown, South Africa
February 2, 2013 –Saturday – Johannesburg, South Africa

After that, he's hitting up Euro for dolo on his first Arena tour....Meek Mill opening up for him

Nas Announces 'Life Is Good' London 02 Arena Tour - TaleTela

After performing three sold-out shows in the UK, the 'Cherry Wine' rapper will be returning to blow up the stage with a further tour date on March 19th 2013.

Joing the hip-hop heavy weight will be Maybach Music's rising star Meek Mill, who will be performing a medly of hits from his debut album Dreams And Nightmares, marking the duo's first performance at the 02.
Tickets for the arena show go on sale from October 19th, with proceeds being donated to the Amy Winehouse foundation.


:salute: Huge look for Nas and Mill, the main arena is a big venue. Normally rappers do the Indigo which is the smaller venue inside (thik Nokia Theater next to Staples) but this is happening in the bigger arena.
Only Hip-Hop acts who have done that so far are Kanye/Jay, Drake, I think maybe 50 and BEP's. Even Wayne didnt do that venue when he was here.



:to: That's my rapper finally doing them 20,000 seat venues
