Nitro World Tour

Summary

LL Cool J's Nitro World Tour (1989-90), supporting his 'Walking with a Panther' LP, was an unusually deep multi-region bill that paired East Coast headliners with N.W.A in the run that immediately preceded N.W.A's split from Eazy-E and Ruthless. The tour's Atlanta date is sometimes cited as the moment De La Soul / Native Tongues collided most directly with N.W.A / gangsta-rap on the same stage.
