Watch The Full Nas & Drake Performance From NBA All-Star Weekend

Drake & Nas Set To Perform Tonight For NBA All-Star Weekend

As promised, Nas and Drake took the stage this past Friday at NYC's Irving Plaza as part of the NBA and Sprite's All-Star Weekend festivities. And while I'm sure most of you were hoping for a more proportionate amount of both Nasty and Drizzy, the night saw a career-spanning set from Toronto's half-rap, half-croon specialist and a parade of his homies, relegating the Queens legend to no much more than the evening's three-song nightcap. But once Drake & Co. (the company being Kanye West, Travi$ Scott, ILoveMakonnen and OVO hypeman OB O'Brien) wrapped up what was almost an hour-long set, Nasir Jones surfaces to a bowing Toronto rapper, proclaiming the greatness of one hip-hop's own All-Stars, just before he pulls down his cap and electrifies the crowd with an all-the-way live performance of classics, including "NY State Of Mind," "Life's A Bitch," "Represent" "Nas Is Like" and "The Message" for his hometown. We certainly wouldn't have minded a front-to-back Illmatic type show, but time and a place right? In any case, you can watch Drake and Nas tear down Irving Plaza with their All-Star Weekend performance below.
