NAS performed at Gansevoort Plaza
June 3rd, 2011 by chocko
Queensbridge Hip Hop Artist, Nas performed a short set yesterday at Gansevoort Plaza in New York City. DJ Envy was on the turntables and hyped up the afternoon crowd in the fancy meatpacking district. Bacardi organized the “Like It Live, Like It Together” Kick-Off Event which included juggling bartenders behind makeshift bars on top of a stage in the shape of a giant skateboard. I’m not kidding. There was free pizza from Jiannetto’s Pizza truck which was delicious…not so much cheese and a crunchy crust! Playboy Playmates and a wise-cracking robot kept people entertained as the crowd waited for Nas. The Illmatic MC showed up a little bit before 1:00 pm and told the crowd he just got off a plane, lost his luggage and was ready to go shopping. Before bouncing to the nearby boutiques, Nasty Nas ripped through a short set that included the classic “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” off the 1994 ILLMATIC album, “Made You Look” from the 2002 album God’s Son and “One Mic” from Stillmatic. Damn…Illmatic came out 17 years ago? That album is a straight up and down hip hop classic. If you don’t have that album and you consider yourself a hip hop fan…you need to check yourself. Nas announced that a new album was in the works and the title will be “Life Is Good.”
