who checked out the free nas concert yesterday at summerstage in central park. that shit was illllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!! it opened up with saul williams doin some poetry, the RSC, kid kapri talkin a little, some wack dj battle, but then nas came out, the crowd went wild and people started bustin down barriers outside the concert. they cut the music and nas just preached for like 15 min. then when the concert kicked back up again, special guests included Qtip, AZ, Busta Rhymes, Mobb Deep, QB's finest. yo it was the illest concert i've ever been to. he played for a good hour and a half, songs off every cd. like 5 or so off illmatic. it was crazy. people were gettin rowdy and shit. hope some of you got to check it out. and it was FREEEE. ah man. i gotta stop talkin about this. peace!

fuck.
if i were ever to go to america it would be because of the plentiful dope Hiphop.
Nas live would be nuts. Saul Williams would have been just as big of a highlight for me though.
