I hope Nas says something on N!gger, cuz he didn't say sh!t on HHID...

[Just BlackAf]

Whats the point of building up all the controversy with the title if you're not gonna address it on the album...

[thetruth01]

HHID had me confused. Cause it was like "hip hop is so fuucking dead." AND "Hip hop will never die." i mean...which is it

[bkgiggles86]

lol I could've swore you stans called it classic.

[PeopleOfTheBook]

chinese *****es opinions hold no weight..go practice opening ur eyes *****


anyway...what 'who killed it'?

[thetruth01]

lol I could've swore you stans called it classic.
talk about the pot calling the kettle black

[Osiel]

lol I could've swore you stans called it classic.

how come the smell of korean food always comes out of my computer everytime you post?

[piffmatic]

hhid is 4 mics allday!!

[bkgiggles86]

HHID was trash only 4 good tracks, the rest were ass!!!!

[HughHeffner]

HHID was trash only 4 good tracks, the rest were ass!!!!
stay on Wu Tang boards u dirty korean *****

[Blackman28]

I think Nas said plenty on HHID...the whole point he was making was that the game ain't the same 'cause it's become more of a business than an artform. The point he is making was that the artform suffers because the business now is all about the bottomline. LOL @ him not addressing it on this album...it was a constant theme in the album from beginning to end...he touched on the subject on almost every song on that album with the exception of Hustlers, Black Republicans, and Blunt Ashes.

[TheReal32]

HHID was trash only 4 good tracks, the rest were ass!!!!

Unless you also think that Kingdom Come was a hot pile of garbage, your opinion on Hip-Hop Is Dead is completely irrelevant.

[Specialk3413]

Whats the point of building up all the controversy with the title if you're not gonna address it on the album...

You Sir, are a f*cking moron. Go back and listen to "Who killed it"

[Blackman28]

^Yeah Who Killed it, Money Over Bull****, Carry on Tradition, Still Dreaming, Hip Hop is Dead, Where Are They Now, Hope, etc.

[John Brown]

Whats the point of building up all the controversy with the title if you're not gonna address it on the album...


I agree 110% and i'm a fan of nas...


when he named his album "Hip Hop Is Dead," I expected some groundbreaking sh-t....album was average....couple good joints...but i was like....what the f--k is this?!?!

"N-gger" is going to be another boring ass album

[Just BlackAf]

Carry on Tradition is the only song and it wasn't that great. Who Killed It is a concept song with no concept. If you think you "got it" you are lying to yourself. The album shouldve been some groundbreaking music. It was not.

Streets Disciple is a better album than Hip Hop is Dead.

[Just BlackAf]

^
nas addressed hip hop throughout the album
*


Nas addresses hip hop on every album. But this album was not different despite the controversy than a regular Nas album. It was just less entertaining...

[John Brown]

^^co-sign it was boring...4 mics at best

but....I still dont see threadstarters point....
nas addressed hip hop throughout the album

:huh: *throughly confused*


he did address hip hop a lot, but it still doesn't change the fact that the album sucked

[Mr.Rominati]

Exactly. I remember Nas saying on 106 that he didnt go too into it on the album cause he didnt want to throw off balance.

I was like

Then why the fck did you go with such a controversial album name.
This whole ****** shyt is just gonna be De Ja Vu.

3.5/5 trust me.

[Worm of Earth Jim]

Hip Hop is Dead was one hell of a dissappointing album
Kingdome Come was a hell of a disappointment too

I hope their next albums are much, much better

Blue Carpet Treatment was crack tho, still bumpin that shyt. one of the best albums of 06 imo :smoker:

and i remember hearing him on hot 97 sucking dj enuff's balls when he asked him about that "murder the dj" line....he was schucking and jiving trying to save face....

f--k it...if you think mainstream dj's are ruining hip hop....then say it....don't spit the line and then flip flop on it....

It's only a controversial tit;le when people make a big deal about it. It's an album title you queers got your panties in a bunch. This is same guy who raps about going to hell for snuffing jesus, hanging nigggguhz like teh ku klux klan, being the son of sam.mock lynching jay-z. He is what he is. and been what he is.

i don't know what you're talking about....please explain??

lol@niccaz expecting a rapper to title his album 'pussay' and rap bout pussay on the whole album

corny ass black fans and wanna-be-down white ones are the reason Hip Hop is dying

[Puerto Rican Gary]

It wasn't good in your opinion. And yall logic is all fukked up, he said hip hop is dead, noit Nas is gonna save hip hop. Why did yall expect a groundbreaking album and even if he had broken new ground you would still be crying. Because thats all you people do.

[Puerto Rican Gary]

to me if you are going to name your album "Hip Hop is Dead," I'm expecting the artist to put his blood,sweat and tears into that sh-t and make it a classic, unforgettable album.....

to me nas just chose a title that was going to get people talking, and just made a regular, boring ass album......

it had a few joints on it.....but i was expecting an album that would be mentioned with Illmatic, Only Built For Cuban Linx, Reasonable Doubt, Low End Theory, Dah Shining, The Infamous, Ready To Die...sh-t like that.....

maybe my expectations were too high.....

I am not a Nas hater....I think God's Son, SD, It was Written were good.....Illmatic and the Lost Tape's are classics......

I was just expecting him to really wow me with this lp and it didn't do that....

[John Brown]

haha i guess the "wanna-be-down white ones" was for me.....



do you really rep orange jump suits?

[John Brown]

lol...you blame nas for your expectations now??


i have high expectations for nas as an artist......

so when he dropped hhid i had high expectations.....

the album did not reach my high expectations......


am i wrong for "expecting" nas to drop a classic and instead dropped an album that put me to sleep?

So if he named his album "The Wackest album ever created" you'd expect it to be wack and get highly upset when it's not wack or be pleased when the album really is wack? Why the fukk is u getting your expectations high off an album title? That's stupidity on your own part.

[RandyBodek]

im a nas stan but i agree wit you homie. nas misleads with his titles/singles all the time, i wish he wouldnt do that sh*t so much.

so what was your honest opinion of the album?

[thoughtcriminology]

am i wrong for "expecting" nas to drop a classic and instead dropped an album that put me to sleep?

Yeah kinda

No rapper drops a classic every time out. Thats like you being expected to never make a mistake at work.

Now if you feel it was boring thats your opinion. I thought it was a 4 mic album.

[Puerto Rican Gary]

so what was your honest opinion of the album?
I liked it. Not something you'd listen to repeatedly unless you are suicidal, it's good chill music, reflective music.

[theworldismine13]

first of all the accusation was that nas didint say anything about the state of hip hop when he obviously did, whoever said he didnt obviuosly did not listen to the album....end of story

its fine if you where dissapointed but why jump on a thread about the content of HHID

what does the question of nas addressing issues have to do with wether nas entertained you? the fact that HHID did not entertain you does not equate to nas not addressing hip hop or HHID not having content, which is what you seem to be implying

[Blackman28]

I thought HHID was a solid 4 mics. Not a classic album but not a wack album and not an average album.

[Walt Frazier]

BlackAf rarely prevaricates...

[RaulG]

does anybody still play hhid?

i thought it was alright when i first heard it, but i havent heard it since really.

[webnutt]

I think through a weird sense of irony everyone expected or wanted HHID to prove hip hop was still alive by showing what the music has sorely been lacking but instead the album sort of in a way defined its own title. For like the last few outtings Nas has been dropping these personal concept albums, but being a fan I'm tired of the high anticipation with the big let down. Drop the concepts and just spit already. I know you gotta do ish for self first as an artist but the fans are way past due. Hell Nas owes us! Pay up!
