AceShowbiz - On Saturday, June 1, Philadelphia's Roots Picnic turned into a historic night for hip-hop fans. Nas, the legendary Queensbridge MC, headlined the event and dropped a bombshell by inviting Ghostface Killah from the Wu-Tang Clan onto the stage. The crowd erupted as these two iconic New Yorkers reunited, sharing their classic collaboration "Verbal Intercourse" from Raekwon's album "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx".

Ghostface kept the momentum going with a medley of his hits, including "Cherchez La Ghost", "Ice Cream", and the Wu-Tang classic "C.R.E.A.M". Nas couldn't contain his admiration, repeatedly calling Ghostface "the greatest" and declaring, "That's my f""king favorite rapper right there." This profound respect was evident as the two embraced on stage, leaving the crowd in awe.

But the surprises didn't end there. As Ghostface was preparing to exit the stage, he noticed Philadelphia's own Beanie Sigel watching from the sidelines. Seizing the moment, Ghostface invited him to join the celebration. Nas encouraged the crowd with, "Make some noise for Beanie Sigel, Philly's own!" The trio then posed for photographs, capturing a moment one audience member aptly described as "legendary."

The significance of this reunion was amplified as it marked a rare live collaboration between Nas and Ghostface in more than a decade. Their recent work together on "Scar Tissue" from Nas' new album "Set The Tone", released through his label Mass Appeal Records, has been a highlight. The album itself is a star-studded affair, featuring legendary names like Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Remy Ma, Ja Rule, Sheek Louch and AZ.
