It looked like he was getting better having to do the same material over and over again.
Nah, he's just not into it and you can tell. I remember seeing him live on the Stillmatic tour and several times since and he seemed energetic, but he always has a problem remembering his bars. I won't pay to see him live again anytime soon unless it's a more intimate setting, small venue. Would be nice to see him perform songs we haven't heard a million times over and his set is always the same. Lazy.

You all DO know that are 12 albums worth of Nas material that you can go back and enjoy while waiting right?


Anytime I'm fiendin for some new Nas I just go back and revisit an album I haven't spun in awhile.


Listened to Gods Son for the first time in ages today and as soon as those horns hit from Get Down I was :blessed:

Top 15 Nas song. Maybe top 10 too much piff

been playing "Stay" like all day

Best song off LIG.

Nas drops shyt when he drops no later no sooner. Respect the architect.

I've seen him live twice once at the Tabernacle when Hip Hop Is Dead dropped and last year at the One Music fest during the Illmatic 20th Anniversary tour and both times he was excellent. Especially last year he absolutely tore it down. No forgotten bars, no out of breath, just him, a mic, and Green Latern on the tables

I don't think Nas does anywhere near as many features or b sides/misc as he used to. His next album should be great. I'd like a song w. jay elec

U got lucky cuz I've seen him live maybe 5 times. Maybe two of the those were great. Just don't think he's a great live performer. At least got to see him perform Ether. That was dope.

Combat jack is one of those haters. He was sayin some nonsense about Nas earlier today on Twitter. Some of these people are so narrow minded that they don't see Nas as an artist. He has touched topics that he has wanted to discuss and the music has been dope.
I gotta check for that

Yea all you gotta do is look up a random anniversary tour on YouTube from last year and see dude is good live. It's an abbreviated set but still good.

I hope Nas digs into his catalog with the next big tour. Everyone wants to hear Illmatic and IWW but he has so much other shyt that would work great live. NY State Of Mind II, Come Get Me, Heaven, etc.
