As an old school hip hop love who grew up break dancing and writing Graff who would have ever imagined Illmatic with an amazing orchestra recreating some of the illest records ever, so dope seeing Nas flowing not missing a beat at the Kennedy Center, epic!!

Fantastic fantastic show
Horrible
After 5 minutes of this I had to turn it off. How can this monstrosity even be allowed to have taken place, let alone filmed is beyond me. Why cannot they leave the classics alone. What the great composers must be thinking of what these people have been done to their art. If you want to make what is a vile disgusting racket about violence, drugs, gangs, sexual abuse etc, then you do it in your own studios and play it on your radio stations to your target audience. How dare you even contemplate thinking about involving this noise with classical masterpieces. With that said with what this country has turned into, I suppose it will be nominated for Oscars and other pathetic award ceremonies. I hope this garbage is actually banned from cinema and streaming sites. Create your own material and leave the classics alone.
A Master piece Collaboration
I loved this concert so very much! The intervals of his bio gave the audience a much needed glimpse of how it all started for him. Nas was the perfect collaboration wit the National Symphony Orchestra as I am certain the orchestra was not familiar with Nas or the importance of our genra music "hip hop". I'm certain they were totally surprised to hear of this collaboration. Sadly, they weren't aware of the magnificent music and style of hip hop brings to the Arts. Well they know now!! Nas is Hip Hop and they should be honored to have performed with him.. Would love to see this at 'Carnegie Hall' in NYC.
