So last night has to be one of the best nights I've ever had! I went to a Nas and Damian Marley concert and had such a blast. I can't really say I'm the biggest fan of Damian Marley but having Nas there was all I needed. It's pretty crazy, I've been such a fan of Nas since I first heard "If I Ruled the World" with Lauryn Hill. Everyone that knows me, know that I'm a big Lauryn Hill fan. Since I can remember watching MTV and seeing the music video for "Vocab" when Fugees were also known as Translator Crew, it completely changed my life and followed her career since and I'm just happy that it spread out to other artists that I've grown to love.
There's only a few artists out there that I would listen to their music and it would have such an emotional impact on me and Nas is definitely one of them. When that guy came out on stage I went delirious, it was like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert. Maybe I was star strucked but I've never felt that emotion to see someone that was a big part of you growing up that you really never met but have been idolizing over and then being so close to him feeding off his energy was so mind blowing. It's like an upcoming fashion designer meeting Gianni Versace, or a painter watching Leonardo DaVinci painting the Mona Lisa. I think I completely lost it when he did a whole medley of his classics, I was trying to record the entire thing but found it very difficult when I'm also jumping and screaming.
Definitely can check this off my list, i'm closer to clearing out this bucket!
