Nas takes the Rock Band challenge

After Rush ironically played their hit Tom Sawyer on the video game “Rock Star” at the Colbert Report studios last week, Nas was challenged to perform the same song. Apparently Nas is a bit of a “Rock Star” gamer. Watch here!

    It seems almost like a requirement for performers on the show to play before they leave the studios. Ha! Nice work, Nas.

    haha Nas has obviously played that game before. I have it and it’s damn hard to play at first. Especially “Tom Sawyer”.

    Yeah the guitar on Guitar Hero is much harder than on Rock Band, but that’s still not bad at all, especially for being put on the spot like that!
