hip hop is dead(lyrics)

[KOKOKO11277]

Hip hop ain't dead it just imigrated

[xBEASTMODE117x]

@tortorjje I agree Lil Wayne sucks now but back in 2006-2008, he was a man of unimaginable talent maybe not as a lyricist or even a rapper, but he did make everyone appreciate hip hop alot more because of his flow and wordplay. Of course Nas, Biggie, and Pac are the greatest and although Lil Wayne isnt the greatest alive, he became the man Hip Hop needed in a time where the radio was flooded full of rap songs with three word choruses.

[xxgianna10xx]

@tortorjje Not really...this song is Hip-Hip (obviously),but all those other names you named, are rappers. Not hip-hop,not pop. There is actually some-what of a difference.

[SoccerPride17]

Ever notice how most of Wayne's fans are white teenage girls?

[xXfrownyguyXx]

In Da Gadda Vida baby don't you know that I'm loving you.

[ChrisTheman93]

those who claim that the greatest rapper/rappers is signed with young money, do not listen to hip hop! don't ask further questions, cuz the answers lies within these fucked up fans' mind. people like lil wayne are great ENTERTAINERS, NOT RAPPERS neither hip hop artists!

[emk1996]

What, yall like Lil Wayne?

Oh, thats cuz nas rap is compared to legitimized crap.

[sosoanglaise]

@emk1996 Well, NAS obviously disagrees with you...He participated to the Carter IV, he's a guest on Lil' wayne's album...

[emk1996]

@sosoanglaise Honestly, Nas is doing him a favor on that album. He knows that Lil Wayne sucks so much he needs all the help he can get. Plus he's only in like one song right?

[sosoanglaise]

@emk1996 really? you really think that nas is on lil'waynes album out of pity for him...Wow Use your head a bit boy, if you like NAS at all, you'll know he's got far too much integrity to do that. Lol, i love how people would rather say anything rather than admit Lil' wayne might actually be quite good.

[emk1996]

@sosoanglaise You know what, I would rather say anything than say Lil Wayne is a good rapper, because he fucking isn't. He says the n word alot, he says bling alot, and..... yea. That's summed up Lil Wayne for you. He's a fucking terrible excuse for a rapper. Lyricism is completely out the door in favor of strong bass and mumbly rapping. In short, FUCK LIL WAYNE.

[sosoanglaise]

@emk1996 He's succesful because he's good, not because people are idiots, they are not listening to him because he says nigga and bling the whole time the dude is lyrical, wether you like it or not. In short BE MORE OPEN MINDED

[emk1996]

@sosoanglaise He's not lyrical, he's a fad that's been listened to by thousands of teenage girls, and nobody else. Like I said, he drops actual lyrical talent for strong bass and some weird sound bytes. So I'm done talking to you then.

[sosoanglaise]

@emk1996 okay then have a nice life

[SilverPlaqueVII]

Soulja Boy is charged 1st for Crank Dat

2nd is Shop Boyz for Party Like a Rockstar. 3 are in court for murder of hip hop.

Thank you Nas for the list.

[LabSound96]

Sorry Plesae! HIP HOP -Music THE Radio 106.8Fm -The Not DEAD

[dijanibrown]

@tortorjje wateva man wayne is nice

[dijanibrown]

[Laizi408]

[chitownzgangsta97]

@Laizi408 nigga its 2012 nd im bangin this ;)

[eminemphycho]

u cant find a lot of hip hop as great as this anymore

[MalarRaptor]

hip hop aint dead, its on a VERY long vacation :D

[anime1lvr]

@mysteryriderca going to? its already ruined son.

[oldschoolbx1970]

I love the Iron Butterfly sample of this joint. I wish so-called rappers today would come out joints that make sense instead of talkin' about what others're talkin' about.

[jalisquiyo310]

why is this song get so much recognition ????

[brikfilm]

@jalisquiyo310 Nas is to using good the grammer! no?

[anthonyv6612]

NAS FIRST ALBUM WAS UNREAL, AFTER THAT I HAVENT HEARD ALOT IM FEELING. THIS SHIT IS HOT THOUGH

[AroundThePony]

Hip Hop is waking up . Check out the new Pharoah Monch for instance , y `all gonna " CLAP!"

[Ruelas329]

love this song=v.v=

[Khawhyn]

ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL NAS FANS: Nasir Jones has recently went to jail for murdering this beat and hip hop in general. THAT IS ALL FOR NOW.

[AforDakadakos]

"Cause Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap..."

Beautiful.

[anime1lvr]

@AforDakadakos i dont think "grindin hittin brazilian dimes from behind " is legitimized RAP. just think about the lyrics next time and not just the beat or his voice.

[AforDakadakos]

@anime1lvr This isn't one of his best songs, believe me. I'm not a fan of all the lyrics in this song, especially that one. If you haven't already listened to some of his other stuff, do it. You'll find that statement rather applicable.

[anime1lvr]

@AforDakadakos well of course ive heard some of his other songs. im just trying to say thats its pretty hypocritical, especially in this song. but oh well.

[EDkED2hot]

Why when people say Jay Z people talk about Iluminati!! WTF! You are dumb if you belive in that shit but getting in real things... this is the shit! He say that some artist make the hip-hop still alive and I was like... WOW! Ok? for real? The real hip-hop is dead, dead, dead, dead! Nobody really represent hip-hop in the commercial world... maybe Lil Wayne a little... We still have real hip-hop but not in the commercial world!

[ecwnikos7]

nas 4 ever !

[soisic93]

Bienvenue sur ma chaine pour découvrir " a juste titre, scandale, le meme destin..."

Bonne continuation

C'est bon

[White72Eagle]

Cmon man How culd ya hate nas hip hop is dead top class!!

[roboticowl1]

So, throughout the song we hear announcements that hip-hop has died. And Nas repeatedly vows to murder the DJ in every station if hip-hop should die before he wakes.

But, I have yet to hear anything on the news about him shooting up any radio stations.

If that doesn't make you enter a disturbing conclusion about him lying every time he spits a rhyme, what will?

[Fortmini]

@roboticowl1 Chill man

[hiphopmovement101]

great song but hip hop is coming back to life! nas jay lupe em are slowly providing CPR but bout to bring hip hop back full blast, so drake kudi wayne and all you other wanna be rappers watch your back cuz you hip pop careers are bout to be shut down!

[TheBSFH]

[hiphopmovement101]

[IHaveNoRealUsername]

@RoronoaAmv Will smith dont gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well I do, so fuck him and fuck you to? thats not a diss, thats a casual mentioning of him in a song where he attacked pop culture

[RoronoaAmv]

@IHaveNoRealUsername

[SuperLilJR23]

THE ONLY TRUE RAPPERS LEFT

Look Its so Obvious Hip-Hop AINT Dead. If anythig its at is best. We Got Lil Wayne Coming out of Jail About to make some Crazy Tracks. Eminem Coming out With some Amazing Stuff. Jay-Z Is on The Next Shit. There is Also Amazing Rappers such as Drake Cming Through.

[bboygreen123]

Cuz Nas rap is compared to the Jedi Minds crap"

[bmanolf]

[Reaganhotshot]

[bboygreen123]

@Reaganhotshot Dude, There is no more good hip hop nowadays. its Faggots like kanye and lil wayne. pop shit is in now. If you think that shit is hip hop then your stupid. Hip hop in a way is dead. The only real rappers i like now is probably Eminem....

[Dhammond5]

@bboygreen123

I do agree with you but Kanye is good

[chrisrox62]

Mc Ren!!

[simsotexsublimation]

[end4game]

New Age hip hop sucks......Old school rules

[goodguynow]

[Anto395Productions]

Ironic isn't it?

Nas creates a track about the old school hip hop, and the very track leans towards the new school era of hip hop... Shame!

[superutik]

hip hop is dead

[K2AStarVision]

Nice.... But Hip Hop Is Not Dead, Its Just In A Coma...... If You LikeTalent Like This, Search and see "K-Dubb Man Among Boys".

Then Sub And Fav

[filipinoskater24]

what they're trying to say in this song is that the old generation of hip hop was good and the best and all, but the new generation SUCKS. jeez, what ever happenned to run dmc, n.w.a., and more??? the only mainstram rappers are nas, eminem, and kid cudi.

[kause531]

[17persianpride]

[BornFreeSoLiveFree]

[BornFreeSoLiveFree]

Tupac is the story teller. Tupac is the rap. Tupac is the hip hop. Hip hop died when Tupac passed.

[scatystel]

@BornFreeSoLiveFree i agree tupac is the one!

[chrisrox62]

@BornFreeSoLiveFree hip hop died when eazy-e, tupac, all members of outlaws, biggie, mc breed and more people the illuminati killed

[jaidon13]

[ra611594]

hip hop is dead, its been dead since this album, it had a nice pump by artist like wale and lupe but, there are no more mainstream good rapers...

[PiNoY231ReMiX]

i like big butts and i can not lie!

[lavenderflavored]

@PiNoY231ReMiX amen!

[xenthosica]

i wonder how many people know this song sampled a song that was recorded over 40 years ago

[ineedsomescrilla142]

most people who like hip hop know, that a lot of songs are sampled off an older song, sampling is not a new feat, unbeknownst to most other genres do sampling as well, and it is allowed because patents only last a certain amount of time before they can be used by everyone

[xenthosica]

@ineedsomescrilla142 ya i figured that but not everyone knows who sampled what, if that makes any sense. and if anyone else didnt know the song sampled in this case is in a gadda da vida by iron butterfly it came out in 1968

[xtremethug]

who made the oridginal i been looking for it since it was on suppernatural

[xenthosica]

@xtremethug iron butterfly. the original song is called In A Gadda Da Vida, and was recorded in 1968. the full song is hard to find on youtube. it's over 17 minutes long

[zezoB101]

Classic - krs one , nas , rakim (and unfortunatly) kanye west - this is krs one's verse (part of it ) " Instead of broadcasting how we smokin trees , on the radio we need to hear more local MCs

Where you at? Come on where you at? This is the difference between MCing and rap

Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MCs spit rhymes that uplift they people

Peace, love, unity, and Havin fun, these are the lyrics of KRS One." , nas is an MC not a rapper and he is one of the best

[sweetlou117]

i wouldnt say dead just in need of some serious help,,

[tkwk1433]

rap is not dead til nas jay z eminem dmx etc are all die

[ziemerR]

[BLU3BLAZ3]

Hip hop is bleeding out right now.

[valeria096]

If hip hop should die we die together

Bodies in the morgue lie together!!

[ledya42]

[ShockGuey5173]

"If Hip-Hop should die before I wake,

I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK,

Roll to every station,

Murder the DJ,

Roll to every station,

Murder the DJ"

He's blaming the people who play the music, they have the power to influence the masses, and show them what real Hip-Hop is. I wanna murder a DJ now.

[Batistaisbest]

oh my god how could you even say something like that?! Nas has inspired so many people in the hip hop community and yes run dmc is good but extremely overrated people look at them like gods even tho they were about an 8/10 don't listen to a song halfassed get the whole meaning out of it apply it and then come back don't criticize genius
