Nas and Jay-Z went above and beyond reconciliation at “B Sides 2.”
Nas’ invitation saw him perform “The World Is Yours” by his lonesome, before being joined onstage by the man of the hour himself, for an anachronistic duet pitting Jigga with the man he sampled on “Dead Presidents II.” The very next, Nas reflected upon the special moment in an Instagram post address to his former rival.
“You represent an era when albums were very raw, bold and true to self…and you still do! Last night was Epic, you gave life to songs that get forgotten or slept on …it was an honor to share the stage with you and to be a part of Bsides,” wrote Nas in appreciation of the gesture, and Jiggaman’s legacy.
