NAS HIP HOP IS DEAD IN STORES 12.19

[eS0UL]

Hip hop ain't dead ... it just went underground until it's ready to come back to the top. The new generation should be here any time now.

[sanderopi]

[CRACKPOTy]

[zomgreturpant]

Hip hop aint dead son. Shit just went underground.

[theschnitter]

[ballingangsta4]

HIP HOP HAS BEEN PARTIALLY REVIVED

ANYBODY WHO TRULY LOVES THIS SONG KNOWS THAT RAEKWON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

and we all know that mtv is the leader of the music industry right now

WELL THEY HAVE LISTED RAEKWON ON THE TOP 10 HOTTEST MCS IN THE GAME AT #10

ik he should be #1 but still its a start

[PerfectChannel]

Hip Hop..Hip Hop..is DEAD!

[TheJacksonsTriumph]

RIP Hip Hop 1978-2006 man Nas was right Hip Hop is dead now we have to listen to Hip Pop which is rap and pop music mixed together which Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West all have no problem doing I call that selling out which GAY-Z has done on so many levels we need Nas more than we need Jay-Z

[splifferdelthathug]

@kidnapperzzz That's right.However what I wanna say is Im rly disappointed from all y'all "hip hop fans".You're talkin bout how shit hip hop got because of the medias etc.Man look around,those pop artists still get hunderthousands of dollars from their new album,which didn't got promoted, while KRS-One stays almost broke in comparism. MCs will cipher again in the streets for money... So don't hate everytime, unless you didn't even buy an album for years. That means you dont support hip hop imo.

[MrBobmarley999]

CHECK OUT M.O.Z. - CIVILIZATIONS (VIDEO) should start off with the news talking TERRORIST shit.... CHECK IT... PEACE!!

[Plazmila]

good ridance sick of it anyway, ya'llz time is up get ready for w/e is next hopefully something that dosen't suck ass like hip hop does now lol

[GT5Prologue]

50% of the text is censored :(

[stylerfe92]

[Jockel66]

he should learn to make his own beats, not stealing by iron butterfly

[herrerajnonce]

wtf- hip hop is alive it called underground as it always should be...

[1Pantikian]

nas has spoken, shut yer bitch ass up

[EA2153]

"MrMusicVideoz"

You said Kanye West killed hip-hop? Also Fat Joe, and 50 Cent are from New York, (Hip-Hop)

The people who REALLY KILLED HIP-HOP was Soulja Boy and the SOUTH. Because when Kanye, Fitty, and Fat Joe first came out, there was ALOT OF MAINSTREAM HlP HOP. YES I SAID MAINSTREAM HlP HOP. SO DONT BLAME IT ON THEM EXCEPT FOR SOULJA BOY AND THE SOUTH

[kidnapperzzzz]

No,

Soulja boy didn't kill hiphop, all the dumbasses that bought/ supported his shit did.

[20sept2008]

How can you kill HipHop by buying the wrong shit.

Hip Hop wasn't commercial when it started and true Hip Hop stayed keeping music the most important thing - not how many records you sell.

[kidnapperzzzz]

Because if no one bought his shit he would have just given up, we wouldn't hearing his horrible music. But people keep buying/ supporting his music so he's always on the radio/ tv etc. Same goes for any other garbage rapper that gets popular.

[20sept2008]

There's something wrong with the society that only supports records that get bought - those who buy it a trapped in the system and still keeping it up.

[EA2153]

OK, then the people who bought all the other pop mainstrream bullshit are dumbasses too? Then hip-hop musn't be dead.

[rap4life8]

yea u right but that wouldn't happen without soulja boy so...

[napalm272]

nice man.

[Shakur444]

word

[HLGAfroTurkey]

so true but its the media they kept on showing that stuff

[925bayareapinoy]

soulja boy and lil wayne are ruining hip hops reputation

[Azaine]

for more hip hop visit my channel

[BniceOr187]

nas iz correct

[clevelandbrowns303]

Nas is always Telling the Truth. Of course everyone should have known hip-hop was dead BEFORE this song.

I have lost all my respect for the mainstream and their fans for the past couple years, and I will never listen to the Radio again. Matter of fact, I will spray paint my local radio station to teach them a lesson for playing That Garbage.

[Beefer2k]

You gotta admit Em had some pretty good shit. But for the most part i still listen to old school KRS Nas 2pac and all that.

[MrMusicVideoz]

these are the hip hop killas nelly.lil wayne.soulja boy,mims.paul wall.kanye west.50 cent.t pain.fat joe.and more than half the ppl that are rapping rite now

[Rampageg22]

When rappers from the a east coast and west coast stopped putting out hits and the emergence of krunk...hip hop died...r.i.p

[TherrorTazz]

FUCK THIS I REFUSE TO LISTEN TO CENSORED MUSIC !! it's anoying

[OfficialDjHits]

People are fools, Can't you see Nas is just cashing in on what some people were claiming.

Just like Jay z is doing with the death of autotune nonsense!

No doubt mainstream couldn't get any dumber but maybe you should switch of MTV & find those dope songs that you 'claim' to appreciate.

You want mainstream to have meaning again? Buy there records then & change the record companys idea of what sells.

Just to point out also, it's a fantastic song from Nas!

[TheElephantOpera]

ya'll are forgetting raekwon is releasing an album in september.

rza, dre, necro, alchemist, pete rock, n dilla are producing. :D

[rapto3]

i'm from spain and i can assume that your rap is dead, 50 cent, eminem soulja, lil gays, etc...

...

[dynamothomar]

i agree but theres still good stuff like immortal technique, k-otix or jedi mind tricks - try this

[umaga9543]

the censorship makes it impossible to listen to lol!

[bulldogg1111]

hip hop is rly dead with those soulja boy, lil wayne, mims and all other of those bitch ass rappers

[komputaman]

the background music is jacked from psychedelic rock - whoever thought hip-hop would need the kiss of life from that? - check out "in a gadda da vida" by iron butterfly

[Andohhh]

Hip-Hop is not dead...YET!

Trust me, with Rakim's Seventh Seal, Kool Moe Dee's new album coming out and so many unsigned emcee's, producers etc. no way is it dead yet!

[RavenRemy]

NO, your the sheep! if hip hop is alive! why are you listening to lil wayne?

[neniel14]

True story.

Actually, it's not hip hop that's dead. It's humanity. People LOVE that Soulja Boy bs...All these younger kids comin up have to listen to "old school" to hear real hip hop.

[101McAvoy101]

Yep you r right bro.

Fuck those fake niggaz lil wayne and shit old sql is tru sql.

[kuoskae]

Hey man, you aren't cool with sql...

Oh my god crazy americans :-D

[sbg75]

hip-hop is dead wid soulja boy and all other shit rappers its not the same hip-hop from the 90's to 2005

[BwoiN]

dont think hiphop is dead..

if rappers bring out a new song they earn so much money to suply whole afrika for a week..

[reaLJustiFied]

LOL

[bluesfunk77]

If all people do is keep watching MTV and letting corparations tell u what is in and out of style-then Hip Hop is dead..Me i Never bought into all the mags n shit ..and Nas is a Hypocrite yeah thats right.fuckin hypocrite...cos he was blingin like a muthafucker and now he sees what going on it the strrets below,people are sick to death of that empty souless shit,when all these MTV Sheep who only listen to whats being spoonfed to te em have jumped on the next thing -I'LL STILL BE MAKIN BEATS!!

[mtaa11]

Ultimately the over saturation of southern style hip hop KILLED hip hop.

The beginning of the end of hip hop was in 1999 when B.G came out with "Bling Bling" 10 years later, 10 years! rappers are still putting out the same nonsense.

Hip hop is dead but if people want to bring it back to life then ALL southern style rappers need to be BANNED.

It's that simple.

Spread the word if you want hip hop BACK!

[Dontfollowasheep]

Hip-Hop is not dead it's alive and kicking.

Don't follow the sheep.

Support Independent music.

Create music from the heart and soul.

Mr Grimez The Anti Hero "Legend Of The Underdog EP 19th Aug 2009 includes Facebook Killer.

[xXALPHAXx7]

hip hop is realy dead :(

[rubenlo3]

this is the clean verssion

[qasair]

nowadays hip hop doesn't look so good as it used to be but yu can't trust Nas he possibly biased trying to use a new motive to sell records. The fact is hip hop isn't dead just cause Nas said it is. Its all the dickriders who are hooked on Nas who will believe everything he says. And Nas is wrong whats the point of doing Hip Hop if theres no way of making a career out of it without hit singles thus all the soulja boy tracks who would do It? Nas has ahd his time and he's up there with the greats

[EmsOnTheBeat]

i belive your a wayne fan.

[stk008]

nas just cant take it, cuz his sales drowning, whilst other hiphop artist top up the charts :L

[SamoanSoilder]

The art is dying, nas isnt drowning, the people's voice is. Nas is only trying to fix our voice that needs to be heard.

For now it's still broken.

[EmsOnTheBeat]

fuck the sales it matters of it his trying to say and if he gets his point across.

[boboham]

Did you all know that you are listening to one of the best Progressive rock classics of all time being ruined by some n00bs talking bollocks over a great drug induced song! Why can't people think of writing their own stuff, there is sampling then there is this, just talking bollocks right over the top of another song.

[FilmRip]

yes lil wayne is a fookin noob..

the most of new rap generation arent good

[hibaht]

amazing- tupac, biggie, nas, eminem, big L, rakim& t.i because hes bloody fitttttttt ;)

not so amazing- soulja boy, lil wayne

[cheeckybutnice]

hip hop is only alive because nas and unerground hip hop is keeping it breathing

[shadynogimmicks]

Is all this fucking shit cencored lately?

[darnellw23]

why the fuck is lil wayne metioned on every rap and hip hop video?Yall need to stop bringin him up all the time.If your on a nas video you shouldnt even be thinkin of wayne.We get he sucks but it seem every hip hop video is mentioning him thats just makin him more popular

[righter007]

right lil wayne is a fool who cant rap

[blanchard22k]

[FakkelteitX]

I dont like to copy and paste that shit, But i DO listen to real hiphop! :D

[Nickl245]

[cheeckybutnice]

[FlawlessAngle]

[2dareis2do]

[MrBoomBap05]

people feel biggie & 2pac opened the can of worms from 96 & on!. puttin casy & jojo on the hooks inspired people from then till this day to sing, rap & sellout! biggy on hypnotize sounded mad pop! (wack!)unbelievable was dope! dont even put them as real hip hoppers! their good rappers like outkast but they are mainstream pop artist! their beats & hooks suck! (biggie & pac r.i.p.) hip hop. come back to life!

[imyourdaady]

The word "hip" was used as African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as early as 1898. The colloquial language meant "informed" or "current," and was likely derived from the earlier form hep[4]. The term "hip hop" also followed logically the previous African-American music culture of "Bebop".[citation needed]

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

Why would you come to a video just to copy and paste some bullshit off Wikipedia?? It doesn't make you seem any more intelligent, it makes you look like a cunt

[XsweetstarliteX]

in my opinoion, black music in general is dying. we are too concerned with making money and trying to get back the riches stolen from us decades ago that we have lost sight of the true meaning of music. I'm just 16years old and i don't get al this soulja boy nonsense, i mean really 'kiss me thru the fone', is he sang that rubbish to me i would hang up.

[ThoasBrand]

Hip hop died in 1998

[coronachilla]

1999* wit my nigga Big L

[TFcRapWriting]

[EtnicsMediaSB]

[STiLLMaTiC717]

[SASJames92]

?

[STiLLMaTiC717]

Thief's Theme

[hotboid3]

im a shit u a fart nigga niggas nasty

[SplitAppleyard]

This song is about how hip hop isnt like it used to be. It was a underground thing, now it become a serious business. The title is a fucking metaphor.

[dahomiegang]

dont blame t-pain on auto-tune he actually has good voice with & and without it blame monkey rappers like soulja boy & lil wayne They SUCK!!!!!!!

[dahomiegang]

I Will Say those Responsible 4 Real Hip HOp Dead

Da Fuckin Radio Becuz they Play Fake Shit 9/10 times

- Lil Wayne Becuz Lollipop & Prom Queen Just Isnt Rap,

-Kanye West 808 HeartBreak Album Becuz IT Has No Lyrics Just Auto-Tune I like kanye but hate that album,

soulja boy well of course Crank That Is Not Close 2 Hip Hop and he claims 2 be in hiphop

and blame the mediah

this is just my opinion so dont waste ur time talkin back 2 someone u dont know cuz i dont know u so Keep IT REAL

[greenpeacemyass]

Hip hop can't die! It won't be new old school hip hop, but the old shit will always be there.

Nas only said that to get publicity. He don't know shit what he's talking about.

[rawkid30i]

u don't even know what you talking about!!nas don't need no publicity because he got that long time ago.listen to what he says,and understand what he's rapping bout before u go to your own conclusions!!!

[greenpeacemyass]

He had publicity, but suddenly nobody gave a fuck about him. Then he had to do something to get some focus on him.

(!!!)

[patsrock93]

dumbass nas is old school, ur comment is conflicting

[greenpeacemyass]

I don't like Nas' music, because he start talking shit for attention.

[KKReviews]

hip hop was all about having fun now its about fucking bitches owning guns, and hustling, which is pretty damn pathetic

[greenpeacemyass]

Well, yeah. But what does that have to do with this?

[IamLEGEND991]

maybe because this is a hip hop song

[f4hkrayzie]

how is that pathetic hip hop is about expressing your thoughts and real feelings on beats. its about movements not that commercial bullshit.

[KKReviews]

you misunderstood, i love hip hop,i hate rap...theres a difference, hip hop is what you said but dont say people like 50 cent or lil wayne are hip hop, they are pathetic rappers that say they are hip when they aint, all they talk about is fucking bitches getting money and killen thats it, hip hop has more to it

[BboyJovi]

Thats rap, Hip-hop is bigger then that, its a culture.

Real people know that hip-hop didn't die, just the surface can't handle shit, now so we kept her underground.

[frikie94]

eminem is going to attemp to save hiphop

(i heard)

[rawkid30i]

nas was there before u could even think of the existense of eminem!!

[EIvIERiiiC412]

Eminems new shit

IS HORRIBLE

[supersoviet8055]

lolz

[hovna1313PUNK]

yes HIP HOP is DEAD and FUCK..... FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP FUCKING HIP HOP

[anttresor]

btw, i seriously think people should stop blaiming soulja boy, cuz soulja boy followed those who were before him

[souflondon1]

EXACTLY LIKE LIL WAYNE AND SHIT

[patsrock93]

no u don't understand , there played on radio, soulja says nas killed hip hop which makes no fuckin sense, there fake ass wanabes wth only kids as fans

[InternalStryke]

What the hell whats up with the cleaned out lyrics? Fuck. Lamee

[mus1cLISTEN]

this is good yes Nas bringing it back to the old skwl days

[MadsDexter]

I love the beat <3

[Webegettinthat123]

3 reasons why hip hop is dead [or dying]

1.SOULJIA BOY

2. LIL WAYNE

3.AUTOTUNE

[rekor67]

yes

[appleflavor101]

nah i i think all lil wayne is is autotune lol soulja boy autotune and all the so called gangstas killed hip hop

[alibuu]

agree 100%

[anttresor]

autotune was great when just t pain used, cuz he actually he had the voice for it, but now all of these monkey rappers uses it

[AznHops]

Wale and Lupe Fiasco give me hopes for the future of Hip-Hop.

[ashddash]

the real hip hop is jayz,nas,dre,biggie,2pac nt 50 dis video is true

[MrY0UNGM0NEY]

hip hop police is better than hip hop is dead

[RapSun13]

the real hiphop never died in the souls of the funs and rappers ho are not star :DDD Likie me

[DJKAOS77]

3:27 FUCK LAP TOP DJS

[kutttlic]

this album topped the charts so hip hop is not dead!

[filthymwchin]

so what if hip hop is dead??? i'm a necrophile i'll make love to her rotting corpse for days till she decays and turns to dust

[franciso7]

good one.

well if hiphop is dead her children are pretty helpless without her,because you know...Daddy aint good

[Marcus3024]

Hip Hop Lives-KRS 1

[RockUfo5]

i dont see it anywhere here but i think thats its rly fucking important..the music(instrumental part) is taken(or stolen?) from iron butterfly-in da gadda vida pls notice it..

[talaliscool]

people like lil wayne and solja boy is killing hip hop

[gittygittygoo1012]

You want some resurrections for today? Atmosphere, Hieroglyphics, Aesop Rock, Immortal Technique (this guy can have a very boring flow + beat at times, along with Aesop) Blue Scholars, Sage Francis, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne, Trae, Z-ro, The Roots, Wu-Tang Clan, along with their members, KRS-One, Jay-Z, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco Ludacris, Outkast, and much, MUCH more.

Rap is alive and well. It has never died, and never will. Never judge anything on the surface.

[ForceFagerstorm]

Is it just me, or do you find it ironic that the front man for the wack eyed peas is talking about hip hop being dead? The same guy responsible for "Hey Mama", "My Humps" and "Let's Get It Started" Nigga Please!!

[YoungMoment21]

Thats Pop music, not Hip hop. The Black Eyed Peas dont pretend to make hip hop either.

[marisa00star]

HIP HOP IS DAED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kiding around but their is rap music that makes no sence at all

[fadedholydelrio]

i dedecate this song to lil wayne and soulja boy

[7URKK]

man i thought i was da onli 1 hu finks dat soulja boy kills hip hop lol bless

[alibuu]

Agree, and all thoose other HipHop-killers

[crackersnsoup]

this song is great but but i tihnk theres antoher reaso nas made tihs is cuz hes not used thsat much any more its gud thtas he still in the gmae but i jsut tihnk his turn is done

[hewenthatway]

im 15 and so depressed and a bit angry at that stupid-ass rap comin out now. I mean my frend and i wer talking and he was like "man the best rap is 1st lil wayne, then T.I" n i waas lyk wtmf about "Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Dre, Em, Snoop?" so i lost it when he replied "T.I is much better than Tupac". it also depresses me that only me and 2 other friends of mine still listen to them avidly. I deleted all the crappy ass wannabees and replaced them with Biggie, Pac, Dre & Snoop, Em, and Nas on my iPod.

[teacherofculture]

why do you add dre, snoop, and em to the same list of big pac and nas?

[hewenthatway]

Dre and Snoop wer the shit yo. they wer a diff kind of hip/hop than nas n big n pac but they wer the shit

[bk000000]

i like nas, but he need to stop sayin hip hop is dead. i mean, jigga got a new album comin out this year, shady got a new album comin out this year, dre supposedly got a new album comin out this year, lupe droppin his last album, camron got a new album comin out, jadakiss just dropped a descent album, a movie bout biggie smalls just went mainstream, so hip hop look strong to me

[AmazonianViper]

He means real hip-hop.Not Mainstream shit about bitches with big tits

[salle121]

Lupe is releasing an album, but it's not his final one. He's said that he's releasing his new album 'The Great American Rap Album' in June.

[MoForLyf]

it is true. I hate to say it. i mean come on soulja boy, lil wayne and all these crap weezy artists there albums hit the top within a couple of days. ok u can say em did that also but em in his track isnt talking sense.. its a great track though but comparing them to nas, pac, biggie, even snoop hes nothing. look at jadakiss his album was sick but didnt make it to the top. HIPHOP is dead, lets just hope everyone comes togeva to mke a MEGA REAL HIPHOP track and liven it up for the years to come.

[RealKing87]

Nah

[yorkshireguese]

there is a version of this on a film, cant remember the name, with the same sample speeded up...can anyone tell me what it's called please.

[jamiechrisw]

its not the same anymore thats 4 sure most rappers dont grind for their dollar like the use to
