Upping this powerful moment.


I had just gotten moved into my college dorm in CT when this went down.


Im pretty sure I got my room set up, internet etc and logged on to to find out this was going down.









Before the truce


Shout out to the breh at 3:48 screaming "Ether!!!" repeatedly and being on the verge of tears like a little white girl in the 60's seeing the Beetles for the first time

I couldn't get in so I was just listening to the show outside of the Summerstage. I did see Mobb Deep getting escorted out after they performed.

That whole timeframe was crazy. Lean back, shytty team USA, Obamas early come up in the senate, Jada / Joe / Ja, Game disbanding from G Unit, Late Registration later that year, including my favorite single of all time Diamonds from Sierra Leone, parents got divorced

:38 in. Live video clips on your flip phones .



That playback quality when you sent it to someone


You: That's Nas and Mobb Deep and Raekwon performing together live in Central Park at a free concert Nas just randomly put on!!!!!


Anyone watching that grainy ass muffled tin can sounding clip: Sure it was

 

[scorpino]

I was there but didn’t rush the gate when everyone else did cause I was so high. Ended up outside while my friends made it in
Biggest regret of my life

31:21 Nas on Rick James "he never got a mothafukking grammy, never got no award from them mothafukking fakkits"

Shout out to the homey Statik who I believe got to premiere the Disciple single during his come up that year. Hosted Nas' first ever mixtape and had his own radio station in GTA 4

 

[prophecypro]

The infamous Centeral Park show

Kinda side way dissed G Unit
Told fukk to both Bush and Kerry
Busta with the dreads coming out for Hate Me Now
Mobb and Nas connecting for what I thought was the first performance together sine Destroy and Rebuild (though I seen they flicked it up Summer Jam 03) A breif truce given they went to G Unit and dissed him again in interview
Rare Theifs Theme performance which was still new at the time
AZ coming through nd them doing Lifes a bytch and Phone Tap
Q-Tip coming through for One Love and paying tribute

All the classic joints performed, Kelis in the cut with the camera recording the show

Esco in the fresh Evisu and 8 Lows with the frames


I remember so many dudes on the old boards talking bout going to this and how the gates had to to be shut and people pushing through


Classic times
