As they performed on the NY State of Mind Tour at the Prudential Center, the crowd wished the Illmatic rapper a happy birthday as he was hugged by Busta and Ghostface Killah, according to Hip Hop DX.
Nas thanked all the artists who were onstage with him, including RZA, Method Man, Raekwon, GZA, Inspectah Deck and Masta Killa, before performing his 2002 hit “One Mic.”
