Peace yall,   

I had this show booked for sometime now and found it interesting to see St John Canada since I never had been there, and heard great things.  So we decided, let's do it real quick and get warmed up for Rock The Bells!  So, I didn't expect no f*ckery but was quickly reminded how things like this still happen to people in the game!!!!!lol 

Bad business is bad business! Every now and again artists are asked to travel to another country to do their thing!!!!   But instead they arrive and are met by some strange people and instead of doing REAL BUSINESS..these "JP's" are saying they have insufficient funds!!!!!

After 3 hrs at customs and once I finally get to them I'm told they have a insufficient amount of money. Now I don't usually leave my crib unless all the business is handled first. But I love my fans in Canada so I said COOL. But of course it wasn't COOL.

Had no paper and they cancelled our rooms and left us at the airport stranded. So we what we had to do and did was get up out of there.  But to all of Canada make sure u know I roll with ya HARD!! Its all love.

My advice to wanna be promoters anywhere they are.... Take business serious....
Learn about being professional. Always. Its very important to be real with people. Don't continue to pull these 1950 style ways of doin business. Its wack.

Anyway, thanks for ya time people .  Rock the bells coming soon!!! Get ready, headlined by myself and damian marley. With our joint lp soon to follow!

Peace family!!!!!

-Nas

  • Stay true to who you are. As you see, the media will make you and they will do everything possible to break you. Self-Identity is the key. I am sadden that Jay Z refused to perform if Chris Brown performed. I am hoping this is all rumor. I am calling on all artist to call J and B out on this rumor. Michael Jackson believed in Second Chances and no one knows what really happened with Riri and CB. She did admit to busting her own brother in the head with a bottle. Jay is no saint either. I love Beyonce but that was no tribute to MJ last night nor was J's performance. CB work embodied the King of Pop. Shame on BET. It was ok to let b*tch and whore fly over the mic but not Chris Brown, a proven dedicated young man who made a mistake. I guess fame has gone to some of our heads or maybe their politcal involvement. Politrics gone bad
  • OK, "Newfoundlander" you sound like one of the crack heads who put off this gong show. Nas actually flew to St. John's only to get screwed over. You're making us look worse here. Hopefully/obviously it's over for ODC Productions. Lets not ruin it for the rest of us. Shut your trap!
  • Nas, you are no where near the professional you pretend to be. You should be thrown in the St. John's harbour all the crap that's floating around there. You have done this a couple of times now - you don't show because you're just a JOKE! Idiot.

  • MESSAGE TO NAS!

    Oh, Nas..you a professional? Well let me ask you this..

    What happened four years ago, when you were supposed to perform at a German festival Splash? You didn't perform, 100.000 of fans waiting for you, rain was pouring. All they told us was, that you missed the flight... So who's a professional? You suddenly became such a seriuos artist, that you don't work with janky promoters?

    You a janky artist first and foremost and I lost respect for you, because you're letting your fans down. ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

    explain this for us.

    hip hop
  • Man that sucks NAS, I was so hoping that this show would have went right. I can't believe this sh*t. Man I am from St. John's and I used to promote in Halifax, nova scotia a little bit. It's hard to get people of your caliber to come here and Now thanks to the FUCKS in Hali it will be harder from here on in. I was weary about buyin a ticket, guess my hunch was right.
  • lol. thanks for the clear up. i saw the link on gl's twitter. it was on the tv (on their news feed ticker) in the tdot, and i automatically thought that doesn't sound like nas, especially since everyone and their mother knew that you had this show booked for a while. the promotion for the show wasn't even that heavy, but either way it sucks for all people involved and for us fans. gah. see yall at rock the bells.
  • sucks for them... hope its not a similar story when Rock the Bells comes to the West....i'm sure it wont be. Looking SO forward to it thats a great line up .... it would be great if you brought Kelis on stage and did one of the songs u guys have together....
  • Sad 'cause everyone loses.
  • "Don't continue to pull these 1950 style ways of doin business." lol....I know the fans must have been crazy disappointed but it's not fair for people to try and take advantage of you!

    ...I can't wait to see you in T.O for rock the bells....AND everyone I speak to about your collaboration with damian is going nuts! so good luck and let us get a single soon!!!!



    Love you...Godbless you
  • im still bumpin nas i dont give a f*ck some ppl are mad at nas not many.....f*ck it if it dont make dollers it dont make cents (sence) WHY DA FACK WOULD YA DO SOMETHING FOR FREE oh ya ill do this show now n pay for my own hotel room blah blah right not fkuckin likely crack heads stole our money n told us nas was all contracted so wed beleve them....after nas was a hour n a half late they were in the stanbds tryingt 2 sell vip ticket 2 for 30 whichs were 100 dollers each the whole time leading up 2 this event
  • faack odc productions (One Dirty Crackhead) they stole our money for crack
    • Dude, it wasn't ODC's fault. It was lux entertainment in halifax who stole the money. ODC went through them to get nas and lux are the ones to blame.
  • smh stuff like that is still going on?? wtf man let me handle bizz 4 u ill make sure all is well :)
  • Nas, you are a friend in my head. Keep your head up.
