A three-part series, American Epic is a multimedia effort from White, Robert Redford and T-Bone Burnett; the audiovisual project centers on the beginning days of music and sound recording. For the latest vignette released in support of the PBS show, White and Nas deliver their own live spin on Memphis Jug Band\u2019s pivotal 1920s record \u201cOn the Road Again.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s the same as today, it\u2019s the same as rap music today,\u201d Nas says of the Memphis Jug Band song. \u201cThey were rapping about street life and gangster life and hustling, just a dark side of the world \u2026 it just goes to show me that rapping is a natural, poetic thing that\u2019s always been here. As long as there was English and black people, there was rap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can check out Nas and Jack White\u2019s modern spin on \u201cOn the Road Again\u201d above. The American Epic episode that features the performance will air on PBS on June 6, while the series itself will debut on May 16. The music that serves as the basis for American Epic will see release courtesy of Jack White\u2019s Third Man Record and Legacy Recordings; a 100-part collection known as American Epic: The Collection and American Epic: The Soundtrack are both set to arrive this Friday, May 12. Columbia Records will also be releasing American Epic: The Sessions on June 9.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2017\/5\/american-epic-nas-jack-white-memphis-jug-band-on-the-road-again\" target=\"_blank\">HB<\/a><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"118314\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/nas-jack-white-bring-1920s-blues-to-the-modern-age-for-american-epic\/2017-05-12-06-27-46-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-12-06.27.46-pm.png?fit=634%2C354&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"634,354\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Nas &amp;#038; Jack White Bring 1920s Blues to the Modern Age for &amp;#8220;American Epic&amp;#8221;\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-12-06.27.46-pm.png?fit=634%2C354&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-12-06.27.46-pm.png?fit=640%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"302\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-118314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-12-06.27.46-pm.png?resize=540%2C302&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-12-06.27.46-pm.png?w=634&amp;ssl=1 634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nas and Jack White connect and link up with a backing band of talented musicians&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nas and Jack White connect and link up with a backing band of talented musicians for a special performance for the new PBS documentary program American Epic.
