NAS- Hip Hop is Dead

[djdstar]

@beautfldsastr427

Give me a break. There’s a whole lot of rap out there that the lyrics are garbage. So he had one song out of how many that he wrote?
You have to admit, there’s usually at least one song from every rapper, no matter how good they are, that makes you go :bloated:

Nas’s career is extremely hit or miss to be one of the best in my eyes.

Whoever mentioned Jay-Z up there, stop buying into hype, pretty please?

Fucking Weezy is better then Jay these days.

you think it could be due in part that he might be making music since he enjoys doing it

not like most people in the “scene” today that are just in it for money

no doubt i think nas is one of the best mc’s, his rhymes(not all) make you think and actually have meaning behind them, there educated lyrics

uhm…what?

haha

i enjoy lots of things, however, despite my outstanding performance in whatever activities that might entail doesn’t necessarily imply that i market videos of it

<— (talking about weaving baskets. obviously.)

for the record, the last jay-z album was shit.

The Black album or his “return” record, i guess it doesn’t matter since they both were less than desirable.

What happend to real Hip Hop/ Rap music when MC’s had to really have and show skills. Now all you need is one “hot single” to grab ppl with, which includes that catchy beat, have hiphop whores in your videos and talk about all the cars and chains you have.

Biggest jokes and disgraces right now, Young Jeezy & Young Joc.
Even ppl that actaully were good back in the day seem to have fallen off, such as Snoop, DMX.

What happend to real groups that had an MC and used turn tables?

1. while Jeezy isnt even close to top 50, his new album does have some nice tracks. listen to “3 am” for example. young joc is a f’n clown
2. did you even hear the new Snoop album? shit is hot.

i was specifically referring to his return album, kingdom come. i’ve always really liked jay-z, but kingdom come was filler. black album alright i guess. i was mostly indifferent about it. if anything, i enjoyed danger mouse’s grey album more. black republican with jay-z is better than anything i’ve heard from hova in awhile.

your other groups you mentioned i haven’t listned to…except for gangstarr. i’m not that into rap. more of a metal/hardcore guy. i do like some hip hop though. like aesop rock, atmosphere, sage, etc. that’s what i more like to listen to.

from what i’ve heard so far, the new nas album is sick. i’m loving it. who killed it is freakin awesome.

The first single was enough to turn me away.

@civichb

With the state that Hip hop is in today, this is a fitting title.

So much garbage out there getting passed off as music.

Haven’t had a chance to listen to this record, but Nas i expect it to be decent as Nas is one of the last REAL Mc’s.

Funny you should mention it… IMO, Hip Hop was dead as soon as Nas became popular. I never understood why people like him so much.

EDIT… looks like I’m not the only one who thinks he is overrated…

I never said other rappers didn’t fault like that too, I was just bringing up the point that lyrically, NAS really isn’t all there, all the time.

By todays standards and looking at the hot singles list, i would not consider Nas to be very “popular”, nor is he underground either, but by no means do i see him everywhere nor hear his songs being played.
