SNEAKERPIMPS NYC 2007: NAS, EPMD, SLICK RICK
Nas headlined the last stop of the Sneaker Pimps Tour on Friday, where newcomers such as Mista Mal as well as legends EPMD and Slick Rick had sets. Even Jeru Da Damaja showed up and rocked the mic.
Nas kept fans antsy by not going on until well after 1 a.m., but they left visibly — and audibly — pleased.
He opened with "Hip-Hop Is Dead," then went into his catalog for records such as "One Love" and "Hate Me Now." God's Son ended with "Made You Look," during which he surprised the fans by jumping into the crowd. Once among the people, he began jumping up and down and inciting the people to jump with him. One of Nas' security guards dove into the audience after him, pulling him back to the stage, where he stood none the worse for wear.
"He touched my hand and gave me positive energy," one woman said as the house lights came on.
Besides phat rhymes, spectators saw some of the most exclusive kicks you can hope to get, as sneakers from all over the world were displayed. There was also a pit for professional skaters who sailed up and down ramps. Still, most of the skaters had to put their boards down when the acts came on, especially Nas.

To make this corny excerpt above short and to the point (and as honest as possible)... The Nas performance was the best thing there! "Sneakerpimps" as a whole was a lil bit ... hmmm... not all that exciting. I spent the entire night in a crowd of drunkies trying to avoid knocking people out! I didnt have much time to socialize or look around because the concert segment (which was entirely TOO long) began almost immediately and the crowd grew too large and too quickly for me to turn around and walk the other way.
But either way.... Nas is the man and thats that!

Sneakerpimps NYC 2007 (Nas, EPMD, Slick Rick)
THE HI LITE OF THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nas let ole boy come on stage and sing his new song "Surviving the times" w/ him. The song had just been recorded a couple of days ago! Some people hadn't even HEARD the track until that night. I applaud that young man for learning those lyrics so quickly and having courage to get up there and do it! Nas himself didn't memorize his own lyrics. What a classic moment! Check the video!

ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY PRESENTS...
GYM CLASS HEREOS FT. THE PACK in concert!
The chicks were absolutely loving Travis! Black girls, White girls, Indian girls, Asian girls... didn't matter! I guess he's the new hot commodity. I dunno.
Everyone else had to be way more excited than I was. I'm not an avid fan of the group but I think they have pretty decent music. The show in itself was pretty good. Lighting was good, the crowd seemed to really enjoy it. And lets not forget the most important part about it...
IT WAS FREE!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, huge shout out to Verizon for sponsoring the concert!! (I'm IN)
Here are some pictures I took of the event in the slideshow below. Click the link to see the full photos.
