Gangster Rapper Naaas performed “Surviving the Times,” “Eye for an Eye,” and the crowd-pleasing “Made You Look” at Roseland Ballroom last night. He also threw a subliminal jab at Boo Boo: “But I ain’t Fifty, y’all know it’s Nas yo.” I always knew he’d flip that 5-0 line some day.

Head over to Sit Down, Stand Up for pics and more on Nas’ performance.

    In regards to talent I believe Nas has much more talent then 50, 50 has a much higher success rate because he looks for whats popular now, he strives for quantity not quality. I try very hard to not be a “hater” and dismiss 50′s album but he really hasn’t thrown anything out that has captured my attention fully. I like to consider myself a fan of hip hop, so to be honest the few true hip hop songs I’d say 50 made were on his Massacre album the Ryder Music cut and the God Gave Me Style cut. I have more than two hand fulls of Nas’ cuts in my iPod, and I agree with what somebody else had mentioned that hip hop fans don’t buy albums as much. the last album I bought was Common’s Be and that I can hear a million times back to back. Record sales don’t mean a thing to me because I’ve seen garbage artists some and go and go platinum or whatever and they haven’t contributed to the hip hop game one bit. I feel like any body can drop a “hot” single and go platinum off that as far as something that holds weight it’s few artists that deliver something good.
