Come on guys. We already have two winners. We need two more. It’s not that difficult.

Actually, I’d like to know the explanation for this. Care to post the responses?

When we did ‘N.Y. State of Mind,’ at the beginning when he says, ‘Straight out the dungeons of rap / Where fake niggas don’t make it back,’ then you hear him say, ‘I don’t know how to start this shit,’ ’cause he had just written it. He’s got the beat running in the studio, but he doesn’t know how he’s going to format how he’s going to convey it. So he’s going, ‘I don’t know how to start this shit,’ and I’m counting him in [to begin his verse]. One, two, three. And then you can hear him go, ‘Yo,’ and then he goes right into it. He didn’t know how he was gonna come in, but he just started going because we were recording. I’m actually yelling, ‘We’re recording!’ and banging on the [vocal booth] window. ‘Come on, get ready!’ You hear him start the shit: Rappers…. And then everyone in the studio was like, ‘Oh, my God,’ ’cause it was so unexpected. He was not ready. So we used that first verse. And that was when he was up and coming, his first album. So we was like, Yo, this guy is gonna be big.”

Thank ye

rizoh..much props on the info about kimmel show with nas…i got tix thru the kimmel show but im confused..u got any contact info for that tix website??

problem is, the tix i got sayin ‘Nas Performance at 6:15pm’ for the kimmel show.

but on the home page under ‘upcoming performances-nas mini concert’ arrival time for that is 7:15pm..
please dont tell me i missed this ish…any help is much appreciated.

^ I guess it’d be best to be there @ 6:15. If you waste an hour, so what? But if you come an hour late, you miss out. I’d come at 6:15 if I were you……just my advice….you never know

First hear Statik Selektah when he cut-up Nas’s “Dont Body Yourself” with gunshot sounds and ish. had that shit on rewind for a London minute.

Large to death

Ivan….thanks for the advice,
but my question was how come they have 2 different listings at 2 diff times.

You could get tix for the kimmel show ‘nas performance’ at 6:15,
but there is another one that says ‘nas mini outdoor concert’ at 7:15. Are they the same performance or different???

^ I could be wrong but I think 6:15 is for the Jimmy Kimmel show and 7:15 is for the Nas concert…..

Only thing is if u go to the website for kimmel on friday night…u can either sign up for the guest ‘howard stern at 3:00′ or specifically ‘nas performance at 6:15′…….so im damn lost….thanks anyways

^Hey engineea, I just checked the site and it lists Nas’ performance for 6:15.
http://www.1iota.com/show.aspx?sid=1

Thank u for checkin on that for me rizoh..much appreciated….however,
if u go to the home page of that site, under ‘Upcoming Performances’, it shows ‘Nas Mini Concert’…thats the one at 7:15pm. http://www.1iota.com/event.aspx?p=0&eid=2683

I now have the sinking feeling i am watching him perform on the show and then im gonna miss the actual mini concert outside.

Man, I would just go there at like 6. You never know.

Thanks for your help guys…sorry for the hassle..jus amped to see nas live…but consider the issue deaded…

i called and they explained it to me.
for anyone else who got tix:
if u got tix for 6:15pm-u get to see the show and performance.
if u got tix for 7:15pm- u get to see
the performance only.

whew

^If you’re going don’t forget your camera, that way you can take pics for us.

I will mos def try…but the tix make it seem like we terrorists…cant bring any cell phones, bags, etc. to the show…only the clothes on your back…but i’ll see what i can do.

dont sweat it. saw the performance on Kimmel. Pretty solid.

Man…..Rizoh, gotta give much props again…if u didnt post the info, i wouldnt have had a chance to go to the show…it was damn sick.

Imagine…goin to see nas, a hip hop legend, only bout 100 people with you so nas is right in front of you and after the kimmel show is over, he goes on to perform about 8 or 9 of his classics for bout 45 min….
all for FREE….insane.

Damn. Looks like you had a blast.

^^^No doubt homie….one of the best i’ve had.
nas was only supposed to do 5 songs and he does almost double….i just couldnt believe it was free..
thanks again for the info

You’re welcome.
