About
Nas on Tour
Long regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, Nas offers audiences some of hip-hop's most powerful storytelling with classic, hands-in-the-air delivery. A live Nas set typically features both critical favorites and pop hits, including songs from his landmark 1994 LP Illmatic — perhaps one of the most acclaimed rap debuts of all time — and selections from the impressive 11 albums that followed. His evocative rhymes have been featured everywhere from New York's iconic Hot 97 Summer Jam to hip-hop package tour Rock the Bells to a performance at the Kennedy Center backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Following the release of Nasir, a 7-song album executive produced by Kanye West, the lyrical titan will embark on a co-headlining tour with R&B legend Mary J. Blige.
Nas in Concert
Nas is considered by many to be one of the top five rappers, living or dead; he's a luminary beloved by rap royalty like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Born Nasir Jones in 1973 (his father is jazz musician Olu Dara), he was raised in Queens, New York, at Queensbridge, a housing project whose deep role in hip-hop history would inspire his lyrics. Performing as the teenage MC Nasty Nas, he emerged with a spotlight-stealing guest verse on Main Source's 1991 single "Live at the Barbeque." Working with an all-star team of New York beatmakers (including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor and Q-Tip) his debut album, Illmatic, was a critical sensation. In the 25 years that followed, Nas has released seven platinum solo albums, and one with supergroup The Firm alongside Foxy Brown and AZ. His empowering 2003 single "I Can," built on Beethoven's "Für Elise," broke the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Widely respected as a true hip-hop scholar and lyricist, he's appeared on songs with everyone from Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Lauryn Hill and Kanye West to Amy Winehouse, Justin Bieber, Jack White and the National Symphony Orchestra.

by BigE00 on 5/24/10Showbox SoDo - SeattleOff the hook, quite the duo, two genres collide for musical genius, never again will you see a show of this magnitude (hip-hops don and reggae royalty), this is a must have for hip-hop or reggae lovers and better yet both.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Nas = G.O.A.T.
by Jeff34 on 5/10/10Highline Ballroom - New YorkYou're not a Nas fan nor can you appreciate the artist he is until you go to a show. The crowd always shows him love and he just vibes with that enerygy. It's great to be surrounded by Nas fans alike and rock out to all his classics. Sucks that I never heard him perform ether though lol.

by SDog on 7/20/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityOMG!!!! We Really njoyed ourselves! Would have loved 2 hear a FEW more songs from Nas!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Nas & Junior Gong was an incredible combination
by Lemlem on 7/20/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityAs a Jamaican girl who grew up in Queens, I got the best of both worlds at this concert. Attending school with Run DMC, I have a bias with my Queens rappers and Nas is one of my favorites. His topics of discussion in his lyrics have always been intelligent and deep and to team him up with Damian Marley, who represents JAMROCK to the FULLEST, well there's NO QUESTION and NO CONTEST........and the Somalian group was Awesome as well!!! The 2 1/2 hour ride and traffic to Atlantic City from Queens was well worth the trip. One Love
Rating: 4 out of 5 Forgot the catalog was that deep!!
by ODog on 7/20/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityNas has a great energy on stage; he and Damian ripped it! Nas went deep into his catalog and spit tracks from Illmatic. Which is a HIP-HOP classic CD.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Jr. Gong, fire burn!
by Gorillabandit on 7/20/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityOne set, two mics equals blazing fire! From nas' stage prescence to damians' lyrics, an all around amazing show. Good venue as well. Not a bad seat in the place

Rating: 3 out of 5 Decent
by JoeAstur on 7/18/09First Avenue - Minneapolisso we waited for 2 and a half hours to only hear an hour and a half of music... it would have been alot more enjoyable they performed for 2 and a half hours and waited for an hour and a half instead. when they finally came out after 2 1/2 hours, they put on a pretty good show. considering that they each played alone and then together and it only lasted 1 1/2 hours was really dissapointing. HONESTLY for how long we waited they should have played alot longer!! it was an average at best show. i went and saw the roots later that week and they put on a much better show.

by EricP on 7/18/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityI thought the concert was excellent. Nas & Damian did an amazing set. The House of Blues was clean, the sounds were crisp. There was not 100 people on the stage trying to rap over each other. Would recommend, also played music from uncoming album.
Rating: 5 out of 5 True Love performance
by RasSheba on 7/17/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityThis show was hip hop and reggae at its finest. Nas, Kanaan and Damian Marley really displayed true art and what this art form is about. I RESPECT them so much as artists. It's not all about money and being jazzy. It was a real performance. No frontin. I loved it.

by Kimora on 7/17/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityMy first thought, Nas and Damien together? Two great artists but never together. What?! I was wrong! They blew up the House of Blues!!!!! Wish I video recorded it, can't stop talking about it
Rating: 5 out of 5 Nas and Damien were exceptional. Great energy!
by Az2smooth on 7/17/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityThe show was great. I would highly recommend going to see these two perform. Nas gives a great show, as does Damien. Looking forward to the album.
