(2)Deep: NaS x Columbia Records Illmatic Release Party

I know, I’ve been slacking hardbody on these (2)Deep posts. I blame it on my lack of a good camera, and I’m not a fan of pulling images from the internet if I own the product I’m showcasing. *shrugs* I think the dopehouse will thoroughly enjoy this one though. I forgot exactly where I stumbled upon this audio, but it was definitely a few years ago. This was recorded live from NaS’ Illmatic release party, presented by Columbia Records (as I typed that, for some reason, the Fugees Red Intro popped up in my head. Ha!) NaS and co., including brother Jungle, navigates through three four cuts off Illmatic with ease. Always wondered if there was video footage of this. As a bonus, you can catch the NaS audio (pre-Illmatic) of some freestyles (some of them off-the-dome, some of It Was Written) while on the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito show after the jump.

01. Intro / Represent
02. It Ain’t Hard To Tell
03. The World Is Yours
04. Life’s a Bitch f. AZ
05. Outro (Mary Jane Girls – All Night Long)

  8. “This has been circulating for a while on the internet… 2dopeboyz is late. Very. LOL.”

    never once did JES say anything about it being “exclusive” or “new” or any of those other terms. the shit is from over 15 years ago… of course its not new. smh… some folks ALWAYS have nevative things to say.

  9. who’s nas’s hype man for the release party? annoying as shit.

  10. ^ Jungle, I believe. His mic was way too loud. That’s where your crew supposed to be there and tell you to switch mic’s between songs.

  11. CHILL CHILL MAN, CHILL GOD.

    lol jung was gasssed

  12. Yep. I always have something negative to say… Me and JES will be eating pork chops while talking about building and destroying.

  13. Good looks JES…..this is a real precious find as huge Nas fan. Illmatic is probably my favorite solo Hip-Hop album ever & definitely one of my all time favorite albums ever period.

  14. Its pretty awesome to listen to some shit like this that actually took place around the time the album first came out.
