Nas plays Rush on Rock Band
August 8th 2008 08:39
Nas rocked out the East Coast with Illmatic, his seminal hip hop album that brought serious thinkers into the fold. Over time, sure, he lost a lot of appeal, but he's always been that guy. The guy that put out Illmatic.
When Nas goes on The Colbert Report, what do you think Colbert would ask him to do? Talk about hip hop? Perform a song? Introduce a cooking recipe book?
How about, play a little Rock Band.
And try to play a song by Canadian rockers, Rush?
Hell, I didn't expect that.
Should that post be on this site?
Ah, why not? Let's all revel in the intricate weirdness of the human taste for music. If you like Rush, Nas, rock out. Get freaky and rock the hell out.
How far can Nas take it? Do you think that, when he lived in the projects, he thought that, one day, he'd be playing video games on a show featuring a fake Republican on national television?
That last sentence shook me, too.
Can we get more rappers playing video games? And fewer gamers rapping?
