Im just wondering if the album has leaked yet. i wanna hear it so bad. nope, i cant wait. nas is the greatest rapper of all time. im pickin up this album on the 19th..... album of the year!!!!!
Oh yeah, this is a pretty cool site to check from time to time: http://www.albumbase.com (I don't think it's out yet though)
that's the dumbest album name I have ever heard from rapper. rap is dead, but you're soooo damn good, you're going to reinvent it.
im not really into rap music, but i think NAS is probably one of the best rappers out there. He is actually creative with his lyrics and has some meaning in them, unlike all that young dro, young jeezy crap they play so much.
Here's a link I found off the albumbase site: http://rapidshare.com/files/5892110/Nas_-_Hip_Hop_Is_Dead.rar.html
Hip Hop is not dead. You can still buy a pogo stick on the internet. "Hip to the hop to the hippity hop"
I agree.. hip hop pretty much died when Eminem stopped making albums speaking of which.. has anyone seen this: http://thatvideosite.com/video/3592 Britney Spears' brother can do some serious flow!
I myself will be the first one to admit that mainstream Hip-Hop is crap, it's essentially pop music and it appeals to the same crowd, that's why all the lyrics are pretty much the same (clubs, b****es, cars, some alleged beef with another rapper for forgetting to call you on your birthday, etc.) However, knowledgeable hip hop fans know where to find quality work, and believe me if you look for it hard enough you will find it, it's still out there. As for this album, I can't wait to hear it, I am a big Nas fan and you don't have to be a hip hop aficionado to appreciate his work. He is one of the top lyricists in the industry and just a great musician. His work is traditionally more content-focused than a 'hot beat' to dance to, which is partly why I am a big fan of his.
