Peace All,
I'm a Hip-Hop Purist I remember getting the my 1st wax album back in the day and remember falling in love with the poetry and loving it mor because it was "OUR" music.Not Black or Spanish as a people but the voice of young people.As we all know today it's just not the same.Most of the true art in regards to Hip-Hop is Dead(True fact) Getting money does'nt mean your any good at all(That's as funny as lil wayne going at JAY-Z).....Ooops.When I heard the leaked cuts from Nas upcoming album HIP HOP Is Dead,I looked foward to hearing real HIp-Hop.Boom....Nas didint disappoint.The album is his best since "It Was Written" The 1st track :Money Over BS is classic Nas.Heavy drums and spitting heat. 2) U Can't Kill Me : In Slick Rick storytelling mode about N*ggaz always on that BS. But the tracks I can't stop listening to are :Carry On Tradition:How we f*cked Hip-Hop up for money.The best line"I got an exam/Let's see if ya'll pass it.Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest".The purest track on the album is :WHERE ARE THEY NOW-Asking where are the hip-hop artist that made up love rap? But even at his illest Nas is ryhming over one of the greatest break-beat of all time!!!. HIP-HOP IS DEAD is the essence of what hip-hop is.BLACK REPUBLICAN(ft.Jay-Z) we all wanted to know what it would be like if 2 of the greatest to ever do it would sound like....and they both KILLED IT.The beat is so dope on this one,you have to go calm down after you hear it.NOT GOING BACK-This track is what the album is about,....GROWTH.most kats spit that "I'm in the hood 4evea"to keep theier credibility. Nas spits the opposite.I'M NOT GOING BACK,I'M GROWING. STILL DREAMING(ft.Kanye West) Kanye spits one his best verses since his album by far(the track is so hot it makes you think Nas should go the Common route and let Kanye produce his next album) BLUNT ASHES-Is thinking going back to the tragic artists life & times(Donnie Hathaway/Phylis Hyman/Alexander O'neil/David Ruffin)...It's Classic!! PLAY ON PLAYA(ft.Snoop) just spitting and Snoop killed the track too!!
MY FAVORITE TRACK...HUSTLERS(ft,The Game) This track reminds me of Nas Is Coming(ft.Dr.Dre) is just classic east/west bangers Kelis sings the hook,but The Game murders the track!!!! Hope(Acapella version) closes with a freestyle of how he was baptized in hip hop.It makes you miss the true hip-hop joints like HOMEMADE LEE SHORT,TAKING YA GIRL TO REDLOBSTER.YA SUEDE BALLYS,CLEANING YA SNEAKERS WITH A TOOTHBRUSH,SOAP & WATER.And he finishes by explaining of HipHop Is Dead...because you're Lame ass,corny ass is the reason it died.You don't give a f*ck about it.You just want to get ya paper.
This album is Hip-Hop reloaded.Remember if you stop buying wack music ,they'll stop making wack music.
