Hope Road is the first film and is the story of that first night. I remember before I even had a chance to set the camera up right Nas was like \u201cYo, yo film this\u2026 \u201c and launched into the whole speech he gives here about \u201cSmokin’ Cubans on the steps of Bob Marley\u2026\u201d from there on I knew I had to keep the camera up and ready to go. Please wait for the little surprise after the credits\u2026 Dawn on Hope Road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dubplates at Tuff Gong, is Part Two. On the third night Damian and Stephen Marley went to work over a new Stephen song called ‘Jah Army.’ The song is pure heat. Dubplates are the stock and trade of the Jamaican musician. Tuff Gong itself is a place filled with so much history as Stephen explains to Nas at the beginning – even Bunny Wailer made an surprise appearance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trenchtown Rock is the day of the video shoot. Kassa and his crew were in full effect by the time I got there. To shoot with Nas in Trenchtown is a special thing. We got a tour of the house where Bob learned to play guitar, the kitchen where Ziggy was conceived \u2013 barely as big as a closet. And then there was the faces and people, such a strong spirit. It is really no shock in the end that so many incredible musicians came from Trenchtown.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
