I feel what y'all sayin, but HipHop aint dead yet. There's still some cats who keep hiphop alive, but you'll have to look a little further. And you still got the classics, like this one. HipHop NEVER dies.
nas is my hero... i swear throughout mainstream hiphops history he's been in a seperate category cause noone can touch him.. he just does his own shit....
This' sinkin' into the great skillz o' a relic o' knowledge, wisdom, n' understanding, while reiterating theprecise interpretation o' all things. Truly Nas' come to the point where the delivery o' lyric, n' moment has done great relevance in the potential o' hip_hop, n' it's growth as development strengthens all mentally with the purity in the structure o' elevation........as was meant to be encounter'd. ...You heard!?!
hahah my nikka NAs was a don in the hood..u see da way he grab one of his pplz from his hood at 2:57-2:59 das disrespectfull but is all love and nas the king real nikkaa
Why does everyone mention soldier boy as if he is the only one who is part of this ruined culture in general. Shit is wrecked in all areas, not just music, and especially not just hiphop. If you don't have a message then you are a gimmic only existing to make money and produce commodities not knowledge, therefore you are useless and should not be bought or listened to.
You should shut the fuck up Soulja Boy Lover!! FUCK SOULJA BOY!!! That bitch ass dude is ruinin' Hip-Hop. So if you don't like Nas you don't like Hip-Hop
R u fukin stupid...he's explainin his fukin name and who he is...sumtin most rappers cant do now adays....this is a gr8 song....u should listen to it closer...u kno dat beginin when its sayin....nas is like...and it keeps on repeatin...he goes into the song statin how he is....nas is like Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
My plateau, and also, what defines my name...listen good
no disrespect to anyone, but i have the most respect for nas because he never sold out for money. Plain and simple he never screwed Dame Dash or anyone else over to become a multi millionare although he doesnt have as much money as JayZ like he says he "but what is it worth? you cant take it with you under this earth."
Lyrically Nas is the best out of NY, I think Jay-Z and B.I.G. are good rappers but lyricsm goes to Nasir....And those top 5's,10's,etc only depend on what decade you're speaking of...
well they are definitely in my top 10 probably, but they dont have A LOT of notable songs, unlike my top 5...and ice cube is really good before and after NWA
Every rapper, even the ones not on my list have borrowed lines from or paid homage to Rakim. Just realize that this list is my opinion. go out and ask random people who their favorite rapper is, rarely will someone say Rakim..
I never said he was, I said he was the 2nd biggest thing. The living legend David Hasselhoff IS the biggest thing to come out of America (Music wise that is).

Eat dick stupid fucking bitch cock licking motherfucking CUNT go kill yourself bitch, oh yeah and if you respond then your agreeing that your daddy raped you and now you rape little boys. MICHAEL JACKSON'S TWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoa he actually had somethin to say there... no new generic hip hop gibberish. like "i got cash and cars and 469 hos to fuck in all of em"... so the fuck what?. this seemed like he had to actually think about the words he put together. thank u nas
You dotn get it. If you ask some1 now what do you listen? And he answers hiphop. and you ask what artist, than he says lil wayen. SO most people who listen to hiphop are listning to lil wayne instead of a sick hiphop legens like wu tang and nas.
Are you stupid? Its so obvious its just a joke... Keyword "REALHIPHOP" Why would he call it real Hip-Hop if he thinks its garbage? Because its a joke...
