Nas came in town last night & rocked two shows with help from Talib Kweli & DJ Green Lantern. The show was somewhat delayed & the crowd got restless at times chanting "Bravehearts" in a cadence similar to the bridge in Nas's banger "Made U Look". Jay Electronica was supposed to open up for Nas's Jones Experience tour stop here in Atlanta, but he failed to make it to the venue on time which we were told was the cause for the holdup. Most of us in Atlanta have never seen Jay Electronica perform live so we were somewhat disappointed in not being able to see or hear more from the former Atlanta resident & current baby daddy of Ms. Erykah Badu. He arrived backstage near the end of Nas's set holding a long scepter of some sort, but never came on fully on stage at any point during the night. Initially there was only going to be one show for the night, but after the first show sold out so fast the promoters added another that followed at 10:30pm. The second show was just as packed as the first & appeared to have sold out as well.

Since Jay Electronica was M.I.A., Talib Kweli started the show off gracing the stage in a fedora & a grey dress vest with white T-shirt & jeans. Rocking to a thunderous applause he delved into his catalog of joints from "Get By", "The Blast", "Hot Thang", "Hostile Gospel", "Move Somethin" to spitting his verses from various cameos such as repeating his lyrics from Kanye's "Get Em High" & going into a medley of the Audio Two classic "Top Billin".

After Talib Kweli concluded his set about 35 minutes later there was a long break before Nas would come up on stage. You would have thought that DJ Green Lantern would be warming the crowd up in between sets to keep the crowd together, but this night he played solely as Nas's deejay for the evening.

Nas took to the stage rocking a Kafia scarf, T-shirt, & camouflage cargo shorts with white kicks. Off to the side of the stage his daughter danced & recited the lyrics to his long list of songs. Nas has a deep catalog of hits & went in on just about everyone of them. Well maybe just performing the hooks on some of the hits & not the whole song. One of the most controversial songs he did was "Sly Fox" aimed directly at the FOX News organization & Bill O'Reilly in particular. Nas also went on to also diss radio stations who haven't been giving him support by saying "F*&k The Radio!" Overall it was a great night despite the delays & long breaks between the action!
