Nas Is Done Celebrating Illmatic

After marking the 25th anniversary of his classic debut album, “Illmatic,” by teaming with the National Symphony Orchestra for a live show, Nas says he’s done celebrating.

“I’m very grateful … but to celebrate one album when I’ve made over 10, all the things I’ve worked on — and I’ve been working for so long — to celebrate one album over all else is corny to me,” he told Haute Living.

“I don’t want to celebrate another ‘Illmatic’ anything. I’m done. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for appreciating that record, but it’s over.”

He said, for his next challenge, he might open a bookstore or do Broadway.
