Move over Kanye, Jay-Z and all the other contenders to the throne: Nas is the king of hip-hop in 2008. The iconic, often controversial rapper apparently stole the show at the prestigious annual hip-hop festival Rock The Bells, outperforming headliners like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest in front of a crowd of 12,000. Don't miss your chance to experience this display of flawless delivery and poignant rhymes in a much more intimate setting, as Nas and fellow "higher level hip-hop" artist Talib Kweli take over the Emo's outdoor stage this Sunday night. Seriously, don't miss it.

wow. when did they add nas to the bill?
Posted 15 days ago.Riffing with fury as Queensbridge’s destined prophet, a then-20-year-old Nasir Jones spat 1994’s Illmatic across G-Funk’s low-riding six-four, preceding the Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready to Die by four months and bringing hip-hop’s crown back to its Gotham empire. Cold-blooded and precise, Illmatic’s draw stands today as MC mastery: head-banging beats from DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor cuing hard-bodied rhymes spun with Eminem-influencing complexity. The game immediately belonged to the Little Homey.
