Nas - Hiphop is Dead ('06 release)

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn. What an ill album. Instant classic.

I know fnk seems to eat up the commercial bs type albums, so I dno how many of you will care.. but I'm sure there are lots of people who like Nas aka real music.

There are so many stand out tracks on this album that are pure genious.

Don't sleep on this!

I sorta thought nas was droppin off the map after his old shit, but this has to honestly one of his best of all time. IMO the production is 2nd to none.

Hiphop is dead is a pretty slick tune, im on the third or so loop give it a couple more and I'll review. Some cool stuff on here.

Who killed it is prob my fave so far (tentative), paints me some black and white pinstripe new york rum runner image. Wicked stuff.

finally got a chance to listen to this, and i'm sorry to say i wasn't overly impressed. there were a few tracks that stood out, but nothing that really caught me. i was expecting a lot more from the nas/jay-z collab, and found that kanye's rhymes were the tightest thing on the album.

regardless, i'm not hating on this album and yes the production is hot, but i'm just kind of disappointed.

^ I disagree on so many levels

the beat on that jayz/nas track is ridiculous.. both have good verses on it, don't know how else you'd make that track better.

kanye's the tightest? meh.

but to each their own right?

werd homie ^

Let there be light.. that track is startin to grow on me too.

the thing I like about this album, is it reaches so many different styles so you don't get bored. listen to any of the crunk south rap shit and it's just the same style, beat after beat verse after verse.

I got the interpretations...
I got the various ways..
but it still hurts,
to see the hip hop is dead...
it does not sit right..
it jabs.
.....I know of the below earth message...that the minds gotta dig for
....but still...
Those words..spoken..written..
I find it unsettling...

^ Not questioning that. Just saying this CD is better than most mainstream shit being released these days. Hell it's been quite a while since I got it, and I'm still listening to it. I'm pretty picky about music, so that says a lot.

Well.. I think the album's crap, personally. I also think it's a completely commercial release. Just because he's calling out pseudo-purists and saying he doesn't like the direction hip-hop is going doesn't mean he isn't making a buck or two while being backed my a major label. DefJam Records is about as commercial as it gets these days; their past, in my opinion, does not credit the present. I mean, look at the artists they have signed. Everyone from LL Cool J to Redman & Method Man, if I'm not mistaken, and please... Russell Simmons' history is notorious.

The statement is meant to be hostile and egg people on; I get it. I just don't think he is really looking at the natural progression of hip-hop. Since artists like the Wu-Tang Clan emerged, it was clear that the hip-hop community had moved their focus from legitimate art to a more profitable market, which inevitably would help them improve their economic standings. The majority of the target market obviously agrees.

DJs/MCs that have been around since the beginning of DefJam and the whole late 80s New York scene (Run-DMC, The Beastie Boys, Afrika Bambaata, etc) are hardly around anymore and they're about as real as hip-hop gets.

Anyways, that's my 3 minute stoned rant. Your thoughts?

*awaits the inevitable reeming from the hip-hoppers*

edit: Oh, and for the record, I'm into hip-hop acts like Abstract Rude, People Under the Stairs, Run-DMC, The Beastie Boys, and KRS-One.. stuff like that. So that might cast light on my opinion.
