He delivered an array of his greatest hits while also serving up his more recent joints off his King's Disease trilogy and his Magic album. His aforementioned album's producer Hit-Boy was also in the building and came out on stage during Nas' set.

He wasn't the only guest either. Mary J. Blige, AZ and Slick Rick also made surprise appearances throughout the show. At one point during, Nas played the first verse of De La Soul’s smash hit “Buddy” as a tribute to the late Trugoy The Dove.

“Make some noise for Trugoy, De La Soul. Rest in Poetry!” Nas screamed.
