I loved this concert so very much! The intervals of his bio gave the audience a much needed glimpse of how it all started for him. Nas was the perfect collaboration wit the National Symphony Orchestra as I am certain the orchestra was not familiar with Nas or the importance of our genra music "hip hop". I'm certain they were totally surprised to hear of this collaboration. Sadly, they weren't aware of the magnificent music and style of hip hop brings to the Arts. Well they know now!! Nas is Hip Hop and they should be honored to have performed with him.. Would love to see this at 'Carnegie Hall' in NYC.

As a classically trained musician (Opera - mezzo soprano) and as an enthusiast of the culture ( hip hop /rap/ jazz/blues) I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this respectful and spectacular presentation of Nas performing at The Kennedey Center. BRAVO!!!! Kennedy Center, Nasir Jones

The Kennedy Center needs to keep their standards high. To call this mashup atrocious would be an understatement of epic proportions. What next Nas at Ka Scala?
Even the orchestra looked bored and unengaged.
Not recommended at all.
