Treats #90 - Nas' Columbia Records Illmatic Release Party Performance (1994)
Written By Jay Swing on Sun, 01/29/2012.
"Y'all ready for Nas? Y'all ready for Nasty Nas?!"
This is quite the Rap Treat - a recording of Nas performing at his Columbia Records' Illmatic album release party from 1994. Gems like this don't surface every day. Who ever is responsable for pressing record and then ripping it to digital 15+ years later I salute you. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, top 5 easy (although there are probably 20 albums or so in my top 5). Having the audio of Nas' performance is just crazy to me. Nas and crew run through a few cuts from the album including "Represent", "It Ain't Hard To Tell", "The World Is Yours", and "Life's A Bitch".

By now I'm sure you've figured out that NationOfMillions is on some vintage shit. Proud of it too. Its not too hard to find the new Drake, J Cole, or even wack ass Riff Raff record in blog world. With that said, here is some new shit from some vintage ass motherfuckers. If this was the early 90's I'd prolly bust a nut (seriously), but these two hooking up is better late than never. One of the greatest rappers ever teaming up with one of the greatest producers ever. And it goes a little something like this...

Treats #89 - Jay-Z & Kanye West's Watch The Throne Tour LIVE
Written By Jay Swing on Sat, 11/05/2011.
There are two concert this year that have me geeked out. The first is motherfucking Prince, and the very next night it is these two - Jay-Z & Kanye. That's right, Prince and Watch the Throne back to back. Throw in Pete Rock vs. Premier in town that same weekend and odds are I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Anyways, if you can't make (or afford) the Watch The Throne show then here is your fix - a recording of the whole concert from North Carolina. Hov & 'Ye Stans rejoice. 40+ songs. Cray!
