Nas's Free Concert!

Central Park was the place to be on Sunday (August 15th) where Nas held a free concert that was jam packed.

The show had Nas performing his classic tracks and sharing the stage with Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes and  Mobb Deep.

A little controversy was added to the set --- when he took shots at 50 Cent, The Diplomats and shared his opinion on the presidential candidates. 

"You got George Bush and John Kerry, two devils. Neither one of them want to help me and you. Neither one of them want to help me, so why some black rap leaders talk about 'Go and vote, we need the minority vote. Come on, hip-hop'? That's bulls**t. None of them n****s is coming to the community."

Nas will drop his seventh album, Streets Disciple on September 28th.

He is due in court on September 21st for charges of second-degree assault stemming from an incident inside New York's Cielo nightclub on December 10th 2003.
