Here’s a clip of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper performing “Sly Fox” on Letterman last night. If you’re still sleeping on Nas’ untitled album, you’re truly missing out.

Nas brought his Jones Experience Tour to Houston a couple days ago. Inasmuch as I wanted to go see Nasir live, I couldn’t make it down there for reasons absolutely beyond my control. Long story. Anyhow, peep some fresh pictures from the show, courtesy of Indmix.com.

Here’s Esco chopping it up with Tavis the other day.

The little homey brings out the big homey for an onstage collabo. Classic.

Speaking of Jay, I wonder what he thinks of Jim Jones calling him a dweeb in a recent interview. “For you to watch some of your favorite rappers turn out to be a dweeb, sometimes it hurts you,” says the Kufi Smacker.

Excerpts from the Nas interview in August issue of YRB magazine:

On the word N-word:
“The majority of rap albums are nigger albums – it’s a nigger culture. We took the horrific, bloody holocaust of the Black American slaves, and the word they called us, and transformed it into money…There are a lot of people other than blacks who are niggers right now – whether it’s dumb motherfuckers in the Dominican Republic where you got light-skinned people hating the dark-skinned one, and you got the same kind of thing happening in Haiti, Brazil…”

On Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
“That’s street corner shit. That’s that nigger shit, just on a higher level. That’s just a dumb-ass nigga. With all the degrees and intelligence he has, he throws all that out the window when he starts cooning. Reverend Wright is the biggest coon of the 21st century so far, and that’s just what it is. And I don’t give a fuck who he’s down with, where he studied at, he’s a great fucking coon.”

Obviously Bill-O has a thing for Nas. Watch the way he says Nas’ name.
