Overheard: “So then I says to him, I says, yo, what about a tour? A full-on tour for the Illmatic XX anniversary that happens to fall on the theatrical release day of the documentary about you?! And, you can bet your ass, NAS IS LIKE…”
Hats off to Nas, perhaps the only active living rap legend (did I just throw shade? Nah…). His doc, Nas: Time Is Illmatic will be released in NY (obviously) on October 1, and his tour will kick off the following day.
The tour itself will not just be any old humdrum rap show. It will, firstly, be NAS! Secondly, it will be an EVENT. The documentary will be screened and then the one and only Nastradamus will take the stage to perform Illmatic from start to finish. That is never going to happen again in your lifetime because there’s only one absolutely legendary rap album that can be performed by its maker before they become holograms. You better take what you can get and what you can get is a damn good deal. NAS IS LIKE… DUH, KID. COP A TICKET OR TWO TO MA SHOW.
