Nas hits Australia… oh, and some dude called Kanye

Yo…

Kanye West has announced he is returning to Australian shores courtesy of Michael Coppel Presents. Bringing his Glow In The Dark Tour in December, he brings also for the first time in Australia, NAS. Two of the most recognised voices in hip-hop today, they will be at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on December 5, Sydney’s Acer Arena on December 6, and Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on December 7 (tickets on sale October 13 through Ticketek).

Kanye always seems to get mixed reviews depending on the day of the week, his most recent publicity, and what angle his cap is placed backwards, so here is a blog from some guy called Sean, that happened to catch the concert in America and seemed to think it was ok;

With 9 albums released over the last 14 years, it’s surprising that Nas (formerly known as Nasty Nas) has never toured Australia or New Zealand. With the recent release of his latest album, originally and controversially named ‘Nigger’, controversy was widespread even reaching discussion in American congress before hey withdrew the title. Political statement, or marketing gimic? who knows considering his public feud with Jay Z culminated in joint concerts, and Nas signing to Jay Z‘s label ‘Def Jam’, either way everybody talked about it (including me). Nas will perform a mixture of new songs and classics fans have been awaiting for all this time, surely warming the crowd up for Kanye to finish off.

Love him or hate him, with the work he’s put in over his lifetime, there is no doubt that Kanye‘s concert will be inspiring for anyone who’s fallen for Hip Hop… for every bit of cheese he may have put out, he comes back with tracks like ‘Heard ‘Em Say’, which only solidify his place in musical history as one of our generations classic writers, composer, and rappers, check it out;
