On Thursday, June 2, Nas performed with DJ Envy at the “Like It Live, Like It Together” event put on by Bacardi. The event took place at the Gansevoort plaza hotel in New York City. Like It Live was hosted by Elvis Duran from the Morning Show and had a great kick off with guest appearances by John Starks, Anthony Anderson and even some of the past years Playboy playmates. Nas took the stage and performed a few songs and the crowd just went wild.

At the end of the event we got up close and personal with Nas and here is what we found out.

How did you get into doing this event with Bacardi?

They just called me up and I was coming to New York and it sounded like a party to me. It was an outside venue.

“Life Is Good” is the title of your new album. How did you come up with that title?

I didn’t come up with it, it came to me. I live it and I breath it I think its crazy how one statement can change someone’s mentality.

Is there anybody that you would want to work on a record with?

I like DJ Khalad, I just want him to scream on my records or something. I like Ross, Drake, Lupe, Kendrick Lemar, and Snoop. I want everyone!

How has touring with Damian Marley been?
Amazing Damian Marley is the most talented, the most righteous, the most regular guy. He’s one of the illest.
Who is your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
Honestly I’m not big on Twitter, I’m never on Twitter. I do have a Twitter page I do communicate and tweet time to time, but someone has to assist me on it. I respect the Twitter world but I’m not really that ill at it. I love everybody that’s following me and I everyone that I’m following I got love for them too.
