Hip-hop legend Nas reflects on the 50-year history of rap music, how successful his career has been, his recent creative freedom and more.Going into the Garden, to do my own show was like, you know, one of the greatest moments of my life, you know, you thought you did shows before you thought you did tours, you did all these great things but being a New Yorker and playing the Garden, and selling it out is a dream. I think it’s every kid from New York’s dream.
