Our Review

For more than a decade Nas has struggled against the unreasonable expectations of a fan-base who, blinded by their affection for the Nas of “New York State of Mind” and “Life’s a Bitch," have refused to accept his efforts to mature as an artist. In this light Hip Hop is Dead’s stark title seems less the bitter reproach that some have labeled it, and more a much-needed provocation thrown in the face of a moribund audience. Hip Hop is Dead sees Nas returning to the lean focused lyricism, and spare boom-bap production that made 2004’s God’s Son such a welcome return to form. The indulgent role-playing and tiresome self-referentiality of 2005’s Street’s Disciple has been reigned in and replaced by savvy broadsides at Hip-Hop’s stagnant mainstream, and a steely determination to out-rhyme every MC in sight. Nas does occasionally slip-up; his Edward G. Robinson aping inflections on “Who Killed It” are bizarre rather than impressive, and the otherwise excellent Jay-Z collaboration “Black Republicans” strains a bit beneath the weight of its own self importance. None the less, the bracingly immediate blast of the title track, and the glowering street nostalgia of the Dr. Dre produced “Hustlers” prove that Nas is more than capable of holding his own in today’s competitive Hip-Hop landscape.

Nas - Truest MC in the game (5 stars)
Enough of the snap music, the hyphy movement and all other imitations of what great rap should be. Nas gives us truly a classic disc filled with great songs that deliver from all angles. His lyrics are unprecidented and his flow is masterful. Street's Disciple was decent, but this proved to be much better. The ratings are: 1. Money Over Bu*****t - Grimey beat, classic Nas flow, simply amazing great opening - 9/10 2. You Can't Kill Me - Beat

Tied for best album of the decade (5 stars)
SO FAR (we still got 3 more years) this has been tied for the best album since 2001.Since then, rap has had no heart.The only CD on the same level as this was Eminem's The Marshall Mathers which droppe in 2001. And also, one person who didnt feel this CD gave Bow Wow and Pretty Ricky 5 stars.Hmmmm.And the other has no idea what he is talking about.He is obviously incredibly shallow, and another great quote "Not everyones capable of gras

Beginning with his classic debut, Illmatic (1994), Nas stood tall for years as one of New York City's leading rap voices, outspokenly expressing a righteous, self-empowered swagger that endeared him to critics and hip-hop purists. Whether proclaiming himself "Nasty Nas" or "Nas Escobar" or "Nastradamus" or "God's Son," the self-appointed King of New York battled numerous adversaries for his position atop the epicenter of East Coast rap, none more challenging than Jay-Z, who vied with Nas for the...
