Dave Chappelle is in the midst of a victory-lap takeover of Radio City Music Hall, and after a surprise appearance by Kanye West (who spat a medley of songs), Nas took the stage for a special run through his landmark album Illmatic.
This week: 3 shot at Nas show, Schoolboy Q detained
Watch below as a live orchestra backs nasty Nas as the audience roars along to every word on “N.Y. State of Mind”. Nas delivered a searing depiction of his beloved 1994 album.
Dave still has some upcoming shows with Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, and The Roots. This type of collective event is nothing new to Chappelle, whose ‘Block Party’ throwdown in 2005 hit the record books with an incredible collection of performances. An accompanying film and soundtrack were dedicated to hip-hop legend and producer J Dilla, who died a month before the film was released. Kanye West, Erykah Badu and Common took part in the gathering, among others.
