Nas performed before a sold out crowd at New York's Nokia Theater on Friday night (December 22), and he had a pre-Christmas surprise for fans.
The Queensbridge native was joined by both Foxy Brown and longtime friend/foe Cormega on stage for a spirited performance of "Affirmative Action," one of the standout songs on The Firm's 1997 album.
"It was powerful feeling, especially the reaction from the crowd," Cormega told AllHipHop.com. Both Cormega and Foxy were met with thunderous applause, as they performed with Nas.
The Firm was a one album super-group backed by Dr. Dre, Steve Stoute and The Trackmasters, and consisted of Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown and Nature. Cormega was originally going to be a member, but was later replaced with nature.
Both Cormega and Nas have been entrenched in a long-running lyrical beef, trading lyrical bars since Nas' 1994 hit "One Love," which featured Cormega. Although, over the years, Cormega said he'd probably never work with Nas again, the two seem to have set aside their differences.
"We had our differences, but me and Nas knew each other before hip-hop," said Cormega, according to Allhiphop. "This wasn’t the first time I spoke with Nas, we'd been talking, but the world didn’t know it. We've taken lyrical shots at each other, but it’s a New Year, and it was just time for us to publicly squash the beef."
Some concertgoers believed the onstage reunion was only for show, but Cormega strongly denies though sentiments, "If it wasn't sincere, I would not have been there."
