Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead

[TheErs1969]

This is actually what rap is the EXACT truth, no bullshit.

[TheJuniorAce]

sounds like cheap trash when its censured lol

[Progenaattori]

I hate these hiphoppers and rappers and other people who rape pieces of musical art as "In A Gadda Da Vida" right here

[BURNERUGK]

Its called a sample stoner. Nas actually made your little classic rock beat way better..If you dont like the style or genre get (outta here) like KRS would say..

[mtaa11]

The beginning of the end of hip hop was in 1999 when BG came out with the song 'Bling Bling"

All the mainstrream rappers out now are just pissing on hip hops grave.

But yeah, the whole music industry is pushing everything, rock, rap, etc towards the 12 to 25 year old females. All this techno pop garbage. For example, the current state of the music industry is basically the equivalent of the movie indusrty only pushing chic flicks. Because of this Hip hop ever coming back is very unlikey.

[lozoft9]

Nas IS hip-hop

[aznpowerdaniel]

i swear u got b a dumbass if u think soulja boy is better than nas

seriously lik i swear the only peopl i noe tht listen 2 soulja boy r lil kidz in elementary skool tht think theyre kool cuz the listen 2 quote on quote "rap musik"

soulja is a disgrace

nas is a legend

[GeTtheMoneyAndGo]

nas needs to make a new album to show all these wayne dickriders what hip hop is

[DarrellPeel]

Someone needs to shoot lil wayne. Put an end to his shit.

[AnimationManiac]

Soulja Boy is a disgrace in rap. Crank That is no masterpiece. All it does is play a decent beat with some extremely stupid lines. Many of Nas' songs are masterpieces. Nas has a lot of talent and makes some really good lyrics. Soulja Boy killed hip hop. But Nas and other rappers like Eminem, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, The Game, and others can save rap. Soulja Boy should retire rapping.

[NysiLLest91]

soulja boy is not a rapper. hes a fool in a rappers world

[619attiq]

I cant believe this guys mentioning soljia boy...hes not even considered a rapper...his lyrics mean nothing at all...they posses no value at all

[EnterTheWuTang1]

im hope youre joking

[AKhellbindeR]

troll more

[Akaalis]

why are you so purposely saying stuff to just get attention?

i guess there is not enough attention given to you in real life....

stop jerkin off to your reflection on the computer monitor and go out get some sunlight

[WSL3LILWARRIOR4LIF]

FUCK you soulja girl is a bitch/fagg and so are you he is a wanna b GANGSTA!

[gohanroshi]

sry hip-hop is dead like it or not

[hiphopculture100]

Great track, this mean such alot to hiphop. Showed what was happening to it. Hiphop was nearly dead I mean no one was putting good music. Only crap music back then. Now we are back.

[BURNERUGK]

How are we back!..I know the 90's are over and you gotta move on, Ive heard it al,l but were not back..IMO the southern influence phucked all of it up! R.I.P hiphop..

[rodneynesbitt1]

south did't fuck it up alone. new york, cali, everyone had a hand in it. When new york started putting out wack shit, hell niggas got hungry for flavor so they took it out west. and so on...hp hp.....shit i love hp hp, i think we all do let them shorties enjoy their moment. one day they will be enlightened. me personnally I don't care if the even know nas exists. keep in mind souja boy is gonna be 35 one day and Lil wang will be bald headed on parole free. who will we blame for fuckin hp hp up t

[BURNERUGK]

rodneynesbitt1 ! I cant say nothing to you KID! cause you metioned the two most worst phukin assholes in the music industry. I wont even repeat there names ,,wow i say no more just take a trip back and listen from 88 to 99 real muzik for your ears..something to learn on, feed off of. Phuk going to skool or going to church, just pop in a cassette tape and indulge..that was hiphop..and now its DEAD!!!!!!! I just cant relate to it anymore..

[Qu33NzNYC187]

soon hip hop is going to come to life people are going to be bored with bling bling all the time

[Qu33NzNYC187]

Hip Hop is dead because people like shit instead Lil wayne was never into making good music why do you think he says cach money records all the fucking time? Because he repping his company witch makes him money, If you go back into the early 1990s people never talked about there company , it was about being original and making good music. We dont have good music no more because Money and people like YOUUU killed it. Dumb ass support lil wayne thats why hes getting paid

NAS SAID ITS DEAD.

[royalsteven]

ELP, El da sensei, Buc fifty, 50 cent, Akir, Asheru & blue black, Alaskan fisherme, King gedorah, MF Doom, Nujabes, Cunninlynguists, Brother Ali, Cunt Bass D, Brand Nubian, Apathy, Eminem, Cam'ron, K-os, Braille, Madvillain, Amadeus, Game, D-block, Cesar comanche, Cymarshall law, Away team, Common, Cool calm pete, Reef, Slum village, Canibus, Smif n wessun, Cyne, A-team, A-ailkes, Acces immortal, Hi-tek, J dilla, Chino Xl...it's not dead y'all :D

[royalsteven]

I first also said it was dead but I was more comparing it to the 90's and then it's worse. It's getting worse by the minute but it's not dead and for y'all claiming it is only have to do reasearch and look at the artist who released an good album this decade: Xzibit, Busa, Dilated Peoples, Afu-ra, Jay-z, Big-L, Akrobatik, Ace Deuce, Guru, Wu-tang, Snoop, Ghostface, Cormega, Cannibal Ox, Arsonists, Immortal Tech, Akinyele, Nas, Swollen Member, Eastsidaz, NERD, Atmosfear, Non phixion, Scarface,

[Djteedoe420]

hip hop just died this morning "she's dead-she's dead.........

[standish8907]

u kno the beat and music of this song is from iron butterfly song was in a gadda da vida (in a Garden of Eden) rocks song so they influence hip hop? i say yes

[9sole9]

if any genre didnt take influences from other genres music would stagnate

[Yankkee973]

this was while eminem was out

[BURNERUGK]

feminem is wak..grow up excel your ears!!!

[AKhellbindeR]

[gt917]

1.B.I.G also eminem is very good an people like kid cudi an asher roth will be good soon, im not saying the 2pac was bad. he was a good rapper just not the best

[nelvibus]

comments like this about kid cudi and asher rother being apart of hip hop just shows how right nas is

[sk8cr3w1]

i like this music!!!!

[cooltv4]

not dead just passed out from lack of orginality

[Tacom4ster]

Hip Hop has been Outlawed?

HOORAY METAL HAVE TAKEN OVER THE WORLD

[DustDevil098]

fuck you fagg

[Tacom4ster]

Typical rapper wannabe

Hates Gay people

Your a bigger opressor then the Cops

Especially the way Rappers beat up women.

[genuisatspelling]

@Tacom4ster your a racist

While the musical styling of rap sometimes touch themes of domestic violence or hatred toward minorities this is not unique.

In fact rock and roll bands often disscuss how often they use and abuse women, drugs

it is based of plantation age stereo types.

If a populous discredits african american artists by saying they hate women

these rappers will 9 as they have done with other things like growing up poor, having trouble with the cops, and gang violence) romantisize it

[Tacom4ster]

I'm Hispanic,

I'm talking about rappers not African Americans

[Yankkee973]

immortal tech

[haxirs]

I suggest you take reading lessons idiot.

[CrazyAznz3]

fuck u death and any type of metal sucks azz

[mm09knows]

hip hop's dead because faggots by the music without listening to the lyrics and thats why soulja boy and those other lame shits get money, i actually ask those people what they think hip hop is and those dickheads dont even know

[AKhellbindeR]

Hip hop has been POP MUSIC for a long time now since all the songs are about now are cars bling and hoes, and artists like lil wayne and all that other crap jumped aboard.

Really wish it were like Onyx and Nas used to do it, but it wont happen anymore. Hip Hop is dead. I dont even liste to it anymore, ive pretty much switched to rock music lol.

[BURNERUGK]

Amen I agree...Smooth jazz aint bad..lol

[lilllwizzzle]

i dont care how much people hate wayne cause of his faggot ass lollipop joint, he HELPED define a generation

[CrazyAznz3]

nas is saying that the old hip hop is better than the modern cuz the new hip hop is shit

[ClifffSVK]

hip hop never dies

[sipek18]

HIP HOP IS DEAD IF rap stars like Eminem The game Dre snoop ice cube will stop making Rap.. LIl Wayne Kanye west SOULJA GAY are not rappers...they are worse than shit

[freedfighter96]

Kanye West had the honor to rap with nas XD. So hes not as shit than the other ones you said. Search on youtube "Nas Classic" A bunch or rapper rap on that track, KRS-1, Nas, Kanye, and others

[BURNERUGK]

Kanye iz a gayfish!! Hes ruined hiphop to..come on!! He made dope beats back in the late 90's but hes pop..

[Yankkee973]

i smell hAter

[BURNERUGK]

This Stankee973KID shouldnt even be on this comment video page. Judging by his youtube account its hilarious great choice of muzik and alot of people really have given you pleasant remarks..You make friends very easy as I can tell...Whata herb..

[WinZSanity]

clean vers sounds silly...

[SCWefed]

You should seriously invest in a noose.

[shadyskela]

if you are here just to provoke,back off

if you really think that,then you are retarded

[666xxxXXXxxx666]

lol?

retard?

[armymenis12]

If I saw Souljia Boy on the street I'd do some muthafuckin insane shit on his ass. I'd do things only Big L and Gravdiggaz would dare to rap about.

[jlp05]

Word on verse 3:12

[Raptor76ers]

fake MCs destroyed it !

[crankdayank]

torontoismine...

[Playmeforit]

i think that dude is kidding about the pac soulja boy thing, no idiot can believe that shit. and if hes not kidding then damn he needa get shot

[KennethDuzIT]

Did you just say 2pac killed hip hop and soulja boy saved it? LOL omfg, i'm laughing so hard.

[WhitestWilliams]

Soulja boy is'nt doin' hip hop asshole !

[47530200]

[bananbooy]

joke of the day, and it wasen't even funny...try again, but don't disrespect 2pac and stop ridin Souljas dick..Enjoy the song motherfucker, real hip hop, unlike Soulja boy

[Llamaboy117]

if you really belive that the king killed hip-hop then you have no idea wat hip hop is

[puertorican1883]

Hip Hop is dead and has been for years R&B is dead to. I heard Ginuwine in an interview say that he is not impressed by R&B music out now. You can find tht video on my faves. Hip hop has become Hip-Pop snappin fingers and shit! That aint rap, Get my swag on wtf?! Im glad we have rappers like Nas tht still keeps it real God has sent someone to deliver us!

[BluezCOO]

Is dat true 0:02 about dat statment?/? is on google??

[RAWsoulja317]

it was dead, but it is on its way back

[Qwg25]

Hip hop really is dead and jayz,kanye,drake, eminem,and lil wayne need to bring it back

[BobbyMessick]

Wayne, Kanye, and Drake Killed Rap, or atleast are contributing to it.

[WiffleBallin]

Wayne and Drake killed rap. Kanye produces great rap I hate when people don't realize that he is a great producer. When Kanye actually raps he's great, 808's and a heartbreak that's not the real Kanye. Nas is better then those guys I can't deny that, But Kanye has produced some major albums this year and other years as well as many hit songs.

[lilllwizzzle]

wayne has been rappin since '93. ill admit his rock shit is wack as fuck. and young money drake especially, god i fuckin hate that fake ass btch, has been on some old bullshit lately. but you cant say wayne ruined hip hop. he defined that shit

[Llamaboy117]

wayne defined it!!!!

the fuck is wrong with you

Pac, Biggie, Nas, Big L, Pun, NWA and tha old skwl

these motherfuckerz defined and put this shit where it was until it was killed

I mean cmon soulja boy, wayne, kanye

you call this is "hip-hop"

Today there is no hip-hop, it died along with many legends cause the few real rappers left have either fucked up their shit(eminem) or just aint getiin a chance to even play cause of the motherfucking sell outs

R.I.P. Hip-Hop along with the legends

[shadyskela]

hell yeah!!

all we got is old school.fuck these fake niggaz

[bananbooy]

Old school fake niggers, don't you think lil wane and soulja boy got inspired by, uuhm, let's say HIP HOP, but the motherfuckers made it to something else! go listen to that lil wayne rap rock or whatever you wanna call that bullshit

[abominarelove]

Hip hop is not dead, It just got transformed a bit.

[SCWefed]

It's not dead. Still got some rappers spittin' the real shit.

Reks..

Immortal Technique..

[shadyskela]

out of 1000000000 people there are 100 who are stupid as hell so they listen to lil wayne,and still they say it is hip hop

lil wayne is just stupid ass nigga with makeup and some cheep tattoos

better go listen to Ice Cube,de la sould,big daddy Cane,grandmaster flash-real hip hop

[sipek18]

@shadyskela Ehm I agree with You.. But what about Eminem The Game and others rapers are they didnt make Hip Hop?

[shadyskela]

Sure,Em is legend :)

i just mentioned few old school rappers

there are a lot names that wrote the Hip hop history like biggie,nas,snoop dogg,dre easy-e and plenty more

There are so many songs great rap songs,why would someone waste time on lil wayne and similar?

[DJLiTekMusic]

agree!!! Great comment!

[BURNERUGK]

Phuk Kanye hes a gay fish!!Hes ruined hiphop..whata douch!!!

[OffensiveWarrior]

[homocidaltendencies1]

[UNHwildcatshockey7]

dirt song, nas is best rapper alive, no question

[naruto17565]

i wish drake was discovered by Jay-Z and he had been his mentor instead of lil wayne i hate to see a dude like drake who has talent put out garbage because his mentor wayne does the same thing

[spartan2fly]

ur mom is garbage at fucking

[RAWKNtoni]

Finally someone who feels the same!!! I kinda felt like he was gonna go on Yeezy's G.O.O.D music label where he can rap with other intellectuals...

[lzmar25]

omg u dont kno wat a calabo that would be having nas on G.O.O.D. music!!!!

[naruto17565]

yeah i know what you mean but its a shame now wayne's young money album is out and people are buying it more than eminem's refill this just sucks

[lowgeemudbone]

'in a gaddavida

[benmoonrocks]

[shanedamayne]

Dude I totally agree with you. Rappers nowadays seem so fake and I hate it. But there are some good ones out there. Like The Game

[tdianddp4life]

I know!!!, I hate lil'wayne and all those gay shit heads. I'll only listen to the originals from the 80's and 90's like 2Pac and biggie, and all those other great obes, but they like died. If they were still here hip-hop would be great.

[visaoroton]

shut up

[4074458781]

I don't think the song isn't literal, the rap story's about what would happen IF hip hop was dead. He specifically says in one line, "IF hip hop should die before i awake..." If you listen to the rap you can hear the real message. At least, I think that's what is being implied... just a thought.

[zachariahlebaron]

hip hop is dead because people started sampling songs, perhaps from Iron Butterfly, until they were just sampling and no longer making music.

[rafamarquezfan1]

HipHop is dead since they censor all the music videos. Porno wouldent be porno if it was all censord. you cant censor hip hop whats the point?

[Murder4Life666]

actually HipHop is dead because of the "auto tune" abused.
