A few days after his horse training, Nas is on the set of his “Old Town Road” video shoot. The concept features him as an 1800s bank robber who escapes through a wormhole and gets magically transported to a modern-day LA hood; Chris Rock has a cameo as a sheriff. They filmed the Old West scenes yesterday, in a canyon in the middle of nowhere with no cell service. Nas couldn’t check Twitter for so long, he physically didn’t know what do with his hands. “It was the worst day ever,” he jokes.

Being a cowboy has nothing to do with where you’re from, or what music you make, or wearing a cowboy hat. The cowboy ethos is about feeling intrinsically outside of things, but still finding the confidence to keep moving with your head held high. It’s about rebellion and finding power even within solitude or alienation. I know a lot of cowboys, and I can promise you that none of them have herded any fucking cattle.
