Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead Instrumental Will I Am

[WestCoastBiased]

@RapKaraoke Yo, can you send this to me. I wanna use it as a background for a video

[paulipeanuts]

Good ol iron butterfly

[whatsomy0name]

hip hop has reached a fork in the road/ it dont know where to go/ real hip hop to the right/ money and greed to the left/ where did it go/ take a guess/ it went left/ hip hop use to mean somethin/ now its all about money and success/ these are the problems that need to be addressed/ man i swear wack rappers got me stressed/ your true self is what should be expressed/ not about how many girls you got undresed/ why does it feel like im the only protest/ i cant keep it suppressed/

[357money]

close my eyes visualize thee truth hold the proof see it through meditated mind state well i state i see love joy happiness from above but real world turn your world upside down to fit in you gotta do shit to get in choice money over yourself brings a patterns of events strongest emotions sell your soul for it all trade your friends as dummies end it all you end up like a dummy get broke no dough who gone hold you down not same fam from a week ago

[deandavo]

Hip Hop aint dead, the legends just left,

Every dope group & duo split like a chin cleft,

Im no longer impressed, its not even about the skin tone,

Just cant take the stress like under nurished shin bones,

Hooks flourish & lines get pressed by the execs bullet,

Uniquely craft an album-with-rhythm & they wanna pull it,

In a sense every compliant rappers an algorithm,

Give em a list, they run it & they styles gauged to ribbons

[ukayina]

in gadda da vida

[zeddymac]

you know as a young man 16. i started out liking rap but for some reason is makes me sick now idk its like they throw zero passion in the skill and more desire into the money. come on young mcs pour your heart into your music like i do. maybe it will give other races a reason to listen to this genre more and maybe stop calling us ignorant because thats exactly what rap is... ignorance anyways thanks for your time yo i'm out.

[Istaygutter]

I used to murder MC's right on the block////// them same niggas killed BIG / the same niggas Killed PAC / then dollar got shot ,,,,,,, got murked wit a Clapper //// Got me thinking to myself ,,,,,,,,,,do I wanna be a Rapper //Hip Hop dead -------mutherfuckers abused it ,,,,, Jam Master J died------ in the studio making music ///// this is as real as it get //// Bought Toilet paper wit my Ipod// this music is Shit ////// RIP to real niggas ,,,,,,,to trill niggas ,,so,fuck how you feel niggas

[Eleias]

As long as I'm alive, hip hop lives on. Stay strong, be informed, and always keep ya gully up.

[JayStarkx]

Will I am is a fucking beast this is too good to be real! Most likely 1 of the hardest hip hop beats to date! Thiefs Theme can't fuck with this love Salaam Remi that joint he did with J.Cole and Miguel was on point but Will I am got this 1 homie!

[afrikan08]

hip hop is dead so start mourning/picked by the rap league i was sworn in/while soulja was cranking it i was snoring/but somehow hip hop feels alive when nas is performing/about 23 mc none balling like jordan/even god knows hip hop is dead thats why its pouring/im trying to rap like this and be more informing/im fly like a bee nigga im soaring/i sting like a bee nigga you swollen

[coltfan15]

how did will.i.am go from this beat to making Lady Gaga type beats?

[misternash16]

this is the same as theives theme street disciples

[nameno1elsehas]

@misternash16 he did it on purpose cuz it's such a sick beat. Listen to the lyrics. The first thing he says is "Had to flip this track again y'all"

[misternash16]

@misternash16 ooohh ok ma bad

[DJWU36]

@misternash16 ha ha i know this just sped up a lil

[mikeg1997]

Why is it dat da rappers wit da skill/who got da passion and dey ill/dey never actually get a deal/well maybe actually some just will/but never get radio time cuz dey got to much skill/its almost as if shit is like,to succeed you gotta suck/and if you dont you oughta luck/you gotta have no skills and be bad as fuck/or youll jus be a normal person broke as hell witout a buck/

[oconnorZforlife99]

[brendencyr]

[lilpter]

[projects53590]

It's pro a strait villian

Light the dro get higher than the ceiling

The flow is reviling

No 44 concieling

But I'll light up a school building filled with children

Chillin on a roof begining to shoot pregnant women

My flow u ain't feelin?

Then ur soul in stealing

Let me know it's a quick freestyle I'm a 18 year old white mid west kid

[MilknJuicenBread]

[buckback3]

gangsta

[kevdog90]

[Emphaysez]

That's a nice sample Nas used for this.

[mistroman817]

hip hop isn't dead, it just took lead to the brain/

its insane, like a viral domain with no name/

lyrical continuity leads to me prosperous/ break down the game as a whole lotta phosphorus/

in essence i had to turn on like a fluorescent/

as i start to revive, keep the beat alive but thats how i thrive/ back in like reverse doin it real like lackin rehearse, please save hiphop from the dreadful curse and whats been taken reimbursed as if it was money stolen from a purse/ apply pressure as a nurse

[KardiFan2000]

Everytime I hear this beat it reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Bart changes the lyrics in church..."In the Garden of Eden" lmao!

[BigPapiKay]

hiphop is dead, soulja done did the deed

Chopped it up to shreads threw it under th sea

Tpain think he helped the game, he was wrong

GuciMane luvs to rapabout paint, n his songs

Late Reg was a groundshaker,Go 'Ye!Heartbreaks was a heartbreaker,No way!

Triedto sing it like JohnMayer,Coldplay

Now he back to th hardrive of white teenagers

Ipods, and wayne rite there beside em

More arrogance than th greek god poseidon

or maybe he was roman? now im roamin'.Abstract? Fuck no man,lets go then

[PunchToTheOvaries]

Rhyme so killa they call me the flotilla/ number one drilla making big big billa/your bitches panties getting wet as she gets nearer/ leave you jerking off to your own ass in the mirror/try to fuck with me and I will surely fuck you up/ leave you shitting in your pants like two girls with one cup/ yeah you keep talking shit but shit's about to get heavy/ one more word and i'm in your girl's ass like a wedgie

[msnizkool]

[sbDbrooks]

@airjones45 Inna Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly.

[rothm71601]

check the diagnoal of A-R/because we stay far/from the wealthy/only a few feel me/the delta/where it gets helter skelter/an improvished place entangled under pressure/understand times haven't changed like the weather/police pull ot toasters and try to melt us/you can't help us/the black race is the best causewe ovrecome any hand they dealt us/its like cuttin the line of a teather/in stormy weather/in stormy weather/they want us all out estranged/ticket us for sagging/and take our lifestyle away

[illVeritas]

Well doctor what is the diagnosis?

Heavy trauma and your cells are suffering from necrosis

I'm sorry but I don't like the prognosis

Are you telling me that it's hopeless?

[illVeritas]

We're going to have to try an experimental procedure

Nurse get a some IVs; we need a few liters

And could you page Dr. Rakim on the hospital speaker?

If you can't find him, just follow the leader

Can you bring me back with some kind of drug?

The money doesn't matter, take it in blood

Is there someone you want to call? Someone you love?

My old friends don't call anymore, my new friends are at the club

[2muchDeNiroonmymind]

yo, incredible lyrics, bro. I read a few lyrics and I can tell that you know how to rap professionally and nicely. Keep doing your thing, man. Peace.

[illVeritas]

Will do man, will do. Good looks.

[2muchDeNiroonmymind]

[junya74]

[illVeritas]

Haven't recorded shit yet, don't have the equipment. I should have some stuff up on my channel soon.

[illVeritas]

911? Help its an emergency! Someone I don't know is hurtin' me I'm defenseless and at their mercy I'm suffering blood loss and need surgery The ambulance rolls up, lights and sirens The scene is bloody from all the violence Get the stretcher, speed to the hospital The odds aren't good, survival may not be possible I'm think I'm dying my pulse is fading My mind is pacing and my heart is racing I'm cut open I think I need stitches You're bleeding internally and there's no quick-fixes

[freedfighter96]

[Johnnypt13]

nice drums, the guitar is sampled very good.

A true nice produced song that claims "Hip Hop Is Dead" much like Jay-Z's "Death Of Autotune".

[therealpsychomic]

I thought the exact same thing dude

[JackisWhack123]

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

dust on the 1210's scratches on the big break, rhymes flow fast with no sign of a mistake, i wanna steal my own vinyl making machine, bring it back to when i was a young teen, its changed for the worse laptop dj's make me sick, stand there like clowns holding their dick, jmj for life a true grandmaster, learn from the greats and try to cut faster, a ghettoblaster vs an ipod, the squared circle where all b-boys like to nod, *****KAYFABE****

[xogentzxo]

NAA U AINT SHIT!!!

[DabeastwithouttheA]

If hip hop is dead then I must be a necrophyliad cause I hold this game until the body bag Who will step to, as to come through the ring of fire called rap we listen to Nowadays shit dont have to rhyme or have meaning just bout money to the ceiling and killing got to always have nines on you like tony romo or saying you'd kiss a guy "no homo" so slomo the way rappers think not think anymore now its thiiiiiiiiink Think about nas, biggie and tupac now how did SOD come to get a top spot?

[PHONZZMCextrodinaire]

but your name is swagger yet another played out word by these other no name emees with no talent.

[Swagger213]

The lyrics that you young wannabe MCs is writing in here is pathetic. Everything is this new rap game has been replaced by electric sounds and stupid synthesizers. You new MCs aint got no unique technique, no flow, no lyrics, and all of you are writing about party, bitches and money. It's sad to see what rap has become. And i'm sure half of you dont even know the difference between rap and hip hop.

RIP Hip hop

[DabeastwithouttheA]

these new people out there are not emcees, they are rappers.

[FortWhatever]

@Swagger213 aye, i'm 15 and believe every word you said, wish people my age would listen to Nas and Rakim like i do....

One Love....

[itchix]

@Swagger213

ignorant, arrogant morons shouldn't make posts online. also, "ain't go no" means you have something, if you don't not have flow then you have flow so good job complimenting all the "new MCs", trying to act like you're something/somebody, probably some 19 year old e-thuggin. go ask your mom for another real hip hop cd. i bet you don't know the difference between making an ass of yourself and having somebody else do it for you.

good beat.

[CoGnAcDiPpEd1]

@Swagger213 whats the difference? "difference between rap and hip hop"

[19brendon19]

Hip hop consists of MCing, DJing, b-boying, and graffiti writing

[JayStarkx]

@CoGnAcDiPpEd1 Rap is ignorance! Hip Hop is Knowledge Strength and Wisdom

[CoGnAcDiPpEd1]

@JayStarkx me and my brother rap...ck out are myspace songs and you tube vid,

[Aceofspades801]

@Swagger213 so fucking true .. nigga i even put 2 likes on this

[spikestrike91]

@Swagger213 asi es hermano concuerdo contigo, no importa el idioma, el hip hop esta muerto gracias a esos bastardos comerciales, bueno....esta en coma, pero nos toca a los underground darle vida como antes!!

WE SPEAK HIP HOP!!!

[TheJlov3]

@Swagger213 U aint never lied fam..me and my record label's whole theme is to resurrect hip hop

[chichakproductions]

@Swagger213 word

[frankie440mopar]

@Swagger213 mad respect bro. music isnt even music anymore. i can hear most "rap" and "hip-hop" today and hear classic rap and hip-hop and already notice that theres a lack of passion in today's music. all about money, guns, sex, drugs...and no ACTUAL subjects that we want to hear. what ever happened to rappers like Pac, Eminem, and Nas (minus the cursing parts :/) that rapped about life? typical need to change.

[DFloVEVO]

@Swagger213 Did you TRY to make that rhyme or have I just got rhyming eyes?

Pathetic, Elecrtic, Unique Technique

[davidxyooj209]

I LOVE THIS BEAT

[MadsDexter]

cool

[BRONXNY18]

my shit

[PhDiva06]

Love the pic, embodiment of classic hip hop.
