Weekend reading: Nas, Liz Phair, My Morning Jacket

Posted at 4:50 pm

Here are some music interviews and articles that caught my eye this past week. Enjoy reading them at your leisure as you eat bratwurst, or perhaps grilled salmon, this July 4 weekend.

Rapping is a craft, and Nas was the first person to do it right, New York magazine says in this profile of the rapper. Nas also knows how to smoke weed, it seems.

Pharrell Williams gets irritated with Newsweek for asking him about fashion and making Madonna cry.

Liz Phair gets unleashed in her new material, she tells PitchforkMedia.com.

My Morning Jacket sure knows how to play long concerts, we are reminded in Rolling Stone.
