The Beastie Boys brought out Nas as a special guest during their set at Bonnaroo to premiere “Too Many Rappers”, which features the Queensbridge rapper and is on their new album, The Hot Sauce Commitee Part 1, which is due out September 15.  Its a bit unfortunate that this performance has Nas’ verses on the beat Mix Master Mike spins instead of a pure instrumental as its always strange when an emcee is rapping over his own voice on wax.  Still, the track sounds hot and I’m definitely looking forward to the album this fall.
