hip hop is dead(lyrics)

nas- hip hop is dead

[Hook]
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

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

[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead

[Verse 1]
Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left
So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def
So nigga, who's your top ten?
Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?

[Hook]
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

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
[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead

[Verse 2]
[ Hip Hop Is Dead lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin'
What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
Criticize that, why is that?
Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
Cuz we love to talk on ass we gettin'
Most intellectuals will only half listen
So you can't blame jazz musicians
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
Oh I they like me--in my white tee
You can't ice me, we here for life B
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey
And for that we not takin' it lightly
If hip hop should die we die together
Bodies in the morgue lie together
All together now

[Hook]
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

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

[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead

{*crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat*}

[Verse 3]
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
If it got where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
Hip hopper since a toddler
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
Went from turntables to mp3s
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
From gold cables to Jacobs
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up
And they came to show love
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut

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

Beautiful.

@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!

[sosoanglaise]

@emk1996  okay then have a nice life

[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 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 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 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.
