Hold On Brehs: Nas Is Selling Out Arenas Like This?

[Ziggiy]

And I swear some of y'all dare to call yourselves "fans" doubting Nas....

 

[Digga38]

Nas an artist that you wanna see once in your lifetime.....


I got to check a show before i check out

Kanye is Nas' enemy? Who wrote that article?

 

[Nomad1]

To Nas

 

[Trajan]

This is in London too.

Fact is Nas is good as far as shows. He sells out more shows than these ''buzzing'' artists with the month's hottest song.

Legend.

I saw the GOAT perform @ a packed venue in 2005, gotta catch another show soon

nas definitely the goat but lol at the turn this thread took...

I was at that London show at it looked at full capacity and I couldnt get tickets for some other friends who wanted to come at the last minute a week out, so it seems like he did sell out . Only the extreme top was curtained out but we're still talking 15-17k then

I'd skeptical of that Evening Standard writer seeing as he thought Redman was from the Wu-Tang in a previous article and famously put a picture of Warren G when writing Nate Dogg's obituary which was momentairly taken off the website...after hours.

I'm not mad at him at all. The fact is, to sell out arenas like that you also have to be able to pull in that casual fan. Pique someone else's intrigue. Nas doesn't really have the songs to do that. But it probably makes a better show if you don't. Like when Jay did all those shows at the new Nets arena. Half those crowds were awful and didn't know his songs.

Seen Nas in concert twice hoping for a third show soon...

One of the best concerts I've ever attended was the Distant Relatives tour when it came to Houston. It was a fantastic show. I've been lucky to have witnessed the gawd numerous times in concers, in nearly 4 different cities.

Nassir da GAWD!

 

[McPiff]

[Danie84]

Yup at full capacity it holds around 20K anyone whose been at that venue or a similar one will know that the seats at the extreme top are hardly worth it. There really only a handful hip hop artists that could fill it.
