It was a private affair that should’ve been marked, public. Alife and Nasir Jones teamed up for an intimate showcase for Nas’s diehard advocates. I arrived toward the latter part of the festivities, but yet, I still felt like I was there the entire 3 hour span (the show started at 6).
I wasn’t really prepared for what I was about to embrace, so I went in head first thinking, hey, it only can get better….I mean it’s Nas for crying out loud. I walked in, passing by an assortment of sneakers. From Reebok to Jordan’s, they were all lined up in a glass casing. I strutted to the outside portion of the shop and was greeted by a flock of Nasir Jones enthusiasts. Dressed in a Zara top and some slim Old Navy denim slacks, let’s say I felt outta place. But with Nasir on the mic, I felt pretty comfortable; I mean he was shouting, “Where my white niggaz at, where my Chinese niggaz at?”
I posted up near the back entrance and I was spotted by a concert goer, “Aren’t you LowKey?”, as I recorded some Nas performance footage. I replied, “Yes sir”. He hit me back with a cheerful “That’s what’s up homey”. Nas kept his show potent, but warm and friendly in the same breath (don’t ask me how). Running through his catalogue as if he just produced it yesterday, Nasir stumbled on a couple verses. However, this is an individual who named his album “Nigger”, so I’m quite sure a couple missed punch lines were the least of his worries!
I don’t know if Nas recreated himself or what, but his ambiance was fresh and his attitude was upbeat. The fans felt it and Nas loved it. Of course, a function isn’t complete without free alcoholic consumption and Belvedere provided plenty of it. Hell, even some of the attendees provided some uplifting herbery to mellow out with (smell soooooo good lol)
Miss Info, DJ Green Lantern, Fabolous, Sean Pecas, and Lenny S all accompanied Nas during his performance, some of which enjoyed the show more than the actual fans. All and all, it was a great night for LowKey, a great night for Nas and definitely a great night for hip hop!

Nas is tha best….i’ve always had an appreciation for nas,even when i was younger and didnt care too much for hip hop i always liked him,he has proven to be more then just a lyricist…….he is just greatness plain and simple i plan on gettin his album soon,and fabolous has came up lyrically…real talk is still one of my fav albums…..anyway back to nas,i read his trashy baby mama’s book and it didnt change the fact that he is still a great rapper…(no matter how much she tried to get people to look past that and feel sorry for her slutty ass) and he will always be one of the best to ever do it.
I think its disrespectful to NaS to put Method Man in a category with such legends as BIG and Pac, please. Step your game up brah! NaS has heavy artillery even Jay-Z had to give the crown up after Ether. Its important to known your hip-hop history, not your ring tone rappers (Soulja Boy Tell em’ to stop makin music). Young kids consider this dude a rapper, stop misguiding the youth. NaS’ use of poetic devices and ill delivery destroy the competition. Even after a brief hiatus the King is Back. The Jay and NaS album is long over due. Props to Weezy in the swag department, but you ain’t hip-hop; you are a product of it… His production was hard on the Carter 3, and his tracks hit across the entire music spectrum.

I purchased 2 (two) NAS CD’s just this afternoon. While I’m not a big fan of Hip Hop (I’m waiting for the R&B come back), it wasn’t bad. You are wrong about the Rev., but you showed a lot of guts protesting Fox News; that was what Hip Hop use to be about (where ya at Public Enemy, Chuck!)
