MF's just fuck with you on here just to troll. I was thinking the same thing, though. RELEASE THIS VERSION AS AN ALBUM. I was impressed with their version of It Aint Hard To Tell.
If y'all haven't watched this I definitely recommend that y'all do. Nas is a great performer and one of the best hip-hop artists of all time (the best imo)
Thanks for keeping it real Nas. Your album Illmatic changed my life. I am from L.A. and was so disenfranchised with rap at the time with rappers reveling in misogyny and street life that I had escaped. D.J. Quick was the last straw and I turned to Reggae then Classical as a means to relax and control my spirit during graduate school a Howard University in 1994, where I left a very violent city for the Murder Capital in the District of Columbia. Your album helped me to not be ashamed of my violent upbringing but helped me to process it and use the energy and street knowledge in another walk of life. BTW, we as a people don't need the approval of Western Society and Classical music to qualify us or our music. They have acknowledged that Rap is the next Jazz and has now been recognized, like Jazz, as the only home grown music from the USA that has permeated every corner of the earth! Like Jazz, Big Band, Blues, and Rock and Roll, it is being stolen and repackaged. Could this have happened years ago with "Classical" music? Please read the bio. of the Virtuoso Violinist/Composer/Champion Fencer Joseph Boulogne, The Chevalier of St. George. Although 11 years his senior, Saint Georges is considered the Black Mozart. It has also been shown that while Saint George was in good graces with the Court of Versailles, Mozart was envious of him and even stole and reproduced his music. Saint George died in obscurity and most of his music was conveniently "lost". This along with learning that the violin has its origins in Africa originally as the Fiddle, as turned me off to Classical Music and Classical ideology as a whole!
He’s going to be doing a show like this when at the end of the month in Vegas and I’m considering buying tickets but it’s like , how are these people not standing?! can they?!Where do I buy tickets so I can lmao like an orchestra behind this man is so HARD😭
Do yourself a favor and watch the entire show before it expires on March 2nd. www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/nas-live-kennedy-center-classical-hip-hop-full-episode/8109/
