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.

fuck that, i wore some old fucked up dunks. by the time i got there i was fuckin soaking wet, i knew i was gonna be wet the whole time and get my shit fucked up. where were you at, you were probably the guy who passed me a blunt. haha. i was in the heart of that shit. maybe 20 people back. that shit was packed. some kid behind me kept trying to film some shit and started sayin shit everytime i put my hand up. that shit was pissin me off. i finally got away from that shit tho. there was some mad drunk guy right next to me too who kept hittin this bottle of vodka and then half way thru started resting his head in the middle of this other guys back right in front of him. i though he was gonna throwup on us. it was mad funny.
