Just came back from the movie/performance. Blood, Nas is too unsung IMO. just to go back to his mind frame and experience the build up, the era, his upbringing, etc Illmatic is timeless man. Nas is the GOAT, and yes, hip hop was so much iller in the 80's-90's when it was new and it was raw. I really miss regional sounds and rappers taking you into their world, now cats just take you to the club, the bedroom or to a drug 
That said, I don't know that I'd go to the theater to see this, but if you can go to the screening/concert, it's worth your money.
On the downside, in true Nas fashion, the nikka definitely forgot some of the lyrics...I would give him a pass because of how much material he has, but I've seen Jay 6-7 times from 2000-2014 and he's never blanked out on a lyric
