Nas is going to perform his entire Illmatic album backed by a full band for what should be a rare, epic performance of some classic hip-hop. Before the show, VEVO caught up with the veteran MC to revisit a couple gems from his debut. Hear him talk about the inspiration behind "Halftime" and "One Love" in these two clips.
