Timeless
Nas’ 1994 debut album, Illmatic is a classic. Celebrating it’s 20 year anniversary back in 2014, Nasir performed the LP from beginning to end alongside the National Symphony Orchestra at Washington D.C.’s The Kennedy Center. The show was aired recently on PBS, and now the audio is finally available to stream. Purchase the vinyl here.
Dope! The concert was fantastic, I was hoping so bad they release the audio of it.
The best rapper ever.
My favorite hip hop album of all time. The memories I have attached to this are unmatched. I can remember putting this in my CD player, putting on my headphones, and walking around my neighborhood at night, reflecting on what I saw around me. This record spoke to me like no other. Memory Lane is one of my favorite songs ever. That beat is so ethereal. It sounds like the golden glow of a street light at midnight.
