Washington D.C welcomes Nas to kick off the Kennedy Center festival One Mic: Hip-Hop Culture Worldwide! A 20th anniversary celebration of Nas debut album Illmatic.
They should record each track on Illmatic with the orchestra and place the acapellas over it and release.
Agree for a superb sound
Thanks for keeping it real Nas. Your album Illmatic changed my life. I am from L.A. and was so disenfranchised with rap at the time with rappers reveling in misogyny and street life that I had escaped. D.J. Quick was the last straw and I turned to Reggae then Classical as a means to relax and control my spirit during graduate school a Howard University in 1994, where I left a very violent city for the Murder Capital in the District of Columbia. Your album helped me to not be ashamed of my violent upbringing but helped me to process it and use the energy and street knowledge in another walk of life. BTW, we as a people don't need the approval of Western Society and Classical music to qualify us or our music. They have acknowledged that Rap is the next Jazz and has now been recognized, like Jazz, as the only home grown music from the USA that has permeated every corner of the earth! Like Jazz, Big Band, Blues, and Rock and Roll, it is being stolen and repackaged. Could this have happened years ago with "Classical" music? Please read the bio. of the Virtuoso Violinist/Composer/Champion Fencer Joseph Boulogne, The Chevalier of St. George. Although 11 years his senior, Saint Georges is considered the Black Mozart. It has also been shown that while Saint George was in good graces with the Court of Versailles, Mozart was envious of him and even stole and reproduced his music. Saint George died in obscurity and most of his music was conveniently "lost". This along with learning that the violin has its origins in Africa originally as the Fiddle, as turned me off to Classical Music and Classical ideology as a whole!
