Lineup is kind of dope not just for Hip Hop and you know them hipster girls will be out :ehh:
And for 35 pounds per day thats not too bad :patrice:

Got my ticket :ohlawd:

I've seen Nas a number of times in concert, but witnessing him perform illmatic is gonna top the lot.

Snoop performed Doggystyle in its entirety at this same event 3 years ago.

Black excellence.

I purchased a weekend pass for £80 (cheaper as it was an early bird ticket) before Nas got announced. I was lucky enough to get the heads up that Nas was likely to attend the event.

It's actually a good weekend. Go cop that ticket

Finally, Nas brings an uncompromising political stance on "White Man's Paper (War)" featuring Damien Marley. Set to a throbbing Bob Marley sample, Nas flirts with controversy, chanting: "I get my news from that white man's paper/So I get my views from that white man's paper/ My people act a fool for that white man's paper/And I don't think it's cool, fukk that white man's paper/ No books in our school cuz that white man's paper, Is droppin' cruise missiles on the head of our neighbors/And I'm like why?"


The song itself was finished, according to the producer Afryka he heard the finished song once and was told it would be on the album until the very last minute he was informed it didn't make the cut. The only explanation he was given was that Nas is very "finicky".
