The United Kingdom will be getting a heavy dose of classic East Coast Hip Hop in April. Nas, DMX, The LOX and Gang Starr have been booked for the upcoming Gods Of Rap II Tour, which kicks off in Manchester on April 23.
Just Blaze will serve as the host for the three-city concert run, which includes dates in London and Birmingham. The tour marks DMX’s first shows in the UK in over 15 years.
Gang Starr’s booking may raise some eyebrows since the late Guru passed away in 2010, but DJ Premier recently outlined his plans to tour under the duo’s name in an interview with Music Week.
“I have loads and loads and loads of live performances of pretty much our whole catalogue in different cities and the audio from his voice,” he explained. “With technology now, there’s different devices to extract the background music of my turntables and get his voice and footage to move when I make a move on the computer. I could actually have him perform and really be saying the lines and he’ll have different clothes on from the different places that we performed.”

Three shows. Yippy.
Right how do I get excited about overseas shit
I came down here just to say that. I got all excited over the title for like 3 seconds and then saw that shit. Sounds nice though.
Tell DMX don’t fuck this up. Stay focused!! However, do what you gotta do to stay clean!
dmx is going back to jail for smoking more crack, good fucking place for the loser
You sound like a hoe. I bet you hope your mama rot in hell for not buying you transformers when you were little.
Or he just wanna suck Dmx dick
Nas goes on the Grammys and performs with lil Nas x. And so were is everyone screaming sellout towards him? Why doesn’t he get that treatment?
Because Nas has solidified his place on top..there’s no need for him to justify his credentials…Nas is one of the best ever…no questioning that..
I know what he means. If jay or Eminem did that people would be scoffing them and screaming sellout and they also more than cemented lthemselves like Nas has
What is ur point eminem performed with Elton John did u question that so shut the fuck up fool
Did you just compare Elton John to Lil Nas X? Please, kill yourself.
What’s the difference? They both f-a-g-s alright.
Check the comments on the actual article about that. You’re welcome.
I saw X the last time he came over fucking incredible, last time I saw Nas it got fucked up by a stupid ass shooter.
I was there at Nas.. Turned out to be a member of his entourage that was instructed to do it after a pay dispute with the promoters!! I saw Nas come out at Jay Z concert in ‘06 but I’ll def be going to this!!
Remember nas show at the forum. Security had dogs people we’re getting robbed for tickets. Good old days. When god son came out.
Gangstarr will not be performing. I don’t care how anybody tries to spin it
Yeah how the fuck is Gang Starr going to perform when half of the group is dead? So we just get Premier spinning records right, or will there be some holographic Guru there lol fuck outta here
I have a bad feeling the X man won’t be able to travel he’ll be too busy suckin on that glass dlck.
Hey its the guy who obsesses over dmx and dicks all the time swear been watchin you say this exact same shit for 2 years now just go suck some bald middle age black guys dick we all know your gay as shit
That takes a real gay dude to write something like that up lol…
Your a dickhead
Just need to add me to the Gang Starr Legacy lineup, because that’s what the true fans want, right? Haha come find me suckahs
Only three shows because broke ass Nas can’t afford to go on a world tour. Replace him with King HOV, a real God, and boom, sold out tickets worldwide. Nas should be touring with Lil Nas X, BTS and Justin Bieber since he wants to clout chase pop stars now. But pathetic Nas stans will defend this anyhow. It’s the ROC in here.
you a hoe for real……nothing to do but gobble Jay nuts.
FYI the ROC been dead…courtesy of you man Hov…….lol
by the way im your father…and im ashamed your mom did not swallow you.
When did having a net worth of $80 million become broke as fuck? My dude I can see you not a Nas fan and that’s cool. Just understand Nas birthed a lot of hip hop you’ve listened to through out the years and it’s an honor to have someone like him represent us young brothas coming up in the 90s. You seem real angry at Queensbridge like they did something to you , maybe its deeper than rap . In any case Nas is an Icon jus like Jay Z is an icon , they united years ago maybe it’s time for u to do the same. Appreciate your legends and be grateful that you have them brotha.
Dude, you just lost your rabbit ass mind & Nas has more Money than you broke ass!! You all kill me comparing money to Nas’ as being the Best MC!! Grow up little ninja!!
