91: “Bridging The Gap” by Nas featuring Olu Dara
October 18, 2010 Leave a comment
I was actually looking up Olu Dara when I found this video by his son, rapper Nas, from 2004.
It’s a strong mash-up of the past and present and a stirring homage from a grown man to his father.
Discovered my father’s music like Prince searching through boxes of purple rain.
Nas even glorifies the art of reading. Somebody tell this guy he’s a rapper and he’s breaking some rules about what a rapper’s supposed to be like.
He wins some rap cred with the dancers on this video, though. Damn. Very classy, too. For rap video girls.
Enjoy.
