Rap Nerds Unite! Who Wants to Hear a Teenage Nas Get Busy? (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/18/12 | Filed under QuickHits, Nas, Akinyele, RapNerdery

On the day after a nearly 40-year-old Nas dropped off his new classic album, "Life Is Good", it's only fitting that we dig back into the crates to hear a still teenage Nas get busy. This one if for my fellow Rap Nerds only, huge props to Gudtyme for this one. I'll let the man take it from here:

"In the summer of 1991, i was chilling at my boys crib DJ Wishbone. He was making a mixtape. This was a gem from that day. Akinyele and Nas doing their “Live at the BBQ” routine. Luckily I still have this copy. It inspired me to create a mix called LUNCHROOM BATTLES. It’s a collection of old school hip hop battles and freestyles that i have on my old dust tapes. Enjoy."
