Vintage From The Vault: Valuables That Have Been Found

It's as unbelievable as it was sad. We recently uncovered old footage of a 1996 Nas concert. Don't get it twisted, we were so excited to come across It Was Written-era Esco doing a show in New York. While viewing the show, though, we were shocked that it was stopped abruptly by radio host Ed Lover. Eddie Mack delivered some of the most sobering news ever to the audience: Tupac Shakur had just died. Here is how Ed remembered it:

"It was during a back-to-school concert at Nassau Coliseum. I don't remember who was on the bill, but I believe Nas was headlining. At the time I was working at Hot 97. I was driving to the concert and Angie [Martinez] was on the air crying because it was confirmed Tupac had died. When I arrived to the show, somebody on the side of the stage got Nas' attention, and he talked to me between two songs.

I told him what was going on. He said, "I can't make the announcement, you make the announcement." I thought that was one of the most humane things an artist could have done for another artist. At the time there were rumors that Tupac would be dissing Nas on the Makaveli album, and 'Pac had said things about him that weren't the most flattering. Nas said, "This dude was an icon, and he just died. Let's make the announcement." For him to do that in the middle of the show, I thought that showed a lot of class."

yeah!! i would have loved to see that footage. But i think the crowd probably clapped and cheered when they heard the news. Especially if the concert was held in the northeast region. They figure he got what was coming to him, and pac had a loud mouth and reppin the westcoast.
