Nas' new album, called "Hip-Hop is Dead"

[Y-S]

Well I just found out about it, and I gotta say that this is a very kind of disturbing album title....

 

[Jake]

dont know if "disturbing" would be the adjective i would use...just nas's opinion

 

[reza]

when does it come out? I gotta hear this.

 

[carlos]

i gotta hear this too...nas speaks da truth

 

[Rasan]

sometimes the truth can be disturbing

 

[mac_luv]

The title speaks the truth.

 

[SEMIYON]

fuck that shit, it aint the truth. that means he puttin down Common, Dilated Peoples, and cats like that thats been holding it down. that nigga barely even doing it myself.

 

[smigg cant rap]

i think he's referring to the fact that (real) hip hop is nearly non-existant in the mainstream...& he's rite, just look at the garbage coming out these days. he's not at all sayin "hip hop is dead, go on & listen to this other shit, its better," or disrespectin those still puttin it down for hip hop. he's sayin we need to bring it back.

i could care less tho either way, i don't listen ta nas.

 

[rollinhooters]

^^^^^^^^^^^Exactly

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Nas is a legend...any album he puts out...I BUY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED...

 

[Y-S]

yeah i feel ya, smigg, i really don't listen to nas either

true, ra$an, but lies can be disturbing too lol (bush?)

the real hip-hop was probably on the fire around from 90 to 01 or 03

wow, giving it up past the year 2000? people have been saying hip hop is dead since the golden era ended around 97-98.....I think its a big attempt to get back to his original fan base, the way he's been trying to since he dropped stillmatic

 

[carlos]

i thought illmatic was his best album followed up by i am... but with thisalbum he could gain more fans it'll probably be hotter then his last previous albums

 

[Dark Shadow]

i saw this friday. alot of hip hop now days change 2 hip pop. like all mainstream should just be kick 2 da curb. man i miss da golden era

 

[Thought]

im feeling the title, hip-hop is dead to the mainstream appeal but is still around

 

[Stealth]

Yeah I like that title. I've been saying hip hop is dead for a looooong time now.

Think about how far rap has come now a days: If any song from Illmatic was put out on the radio, it would receive NO PLAY whatsoever in 2006. Unless Lil' Jon did the beat. And Nas changed his flow.

 

[carlos]

^^yeah true everything is basically dead thanks to chingy, nelly, lil jon for killing rap music

 

[RAPresentah]

cant wait to grab this. nas always comes correct.

 

[Thought]

^^yeah true everything is basically dead thanks to chingy, nelly, lil jon for killing rap music

i thought it couldnt get any worse after these dudes came along until D4l and franchise boys came along

 

[horror]

nas thinks hes this new level of rapper or i dont know but he sure has his head far up his ass like jay z... im not suprised
