First time I heard the statement "Hip Hop Is Dead" I was definitely offended....it's like did Nas just say the music I love is no longer being made...is he being incredebly close minded...arrogant...stupid? Later on after hearing several interviews etc...I realized that I really have no right to agree or disagree with a statement such as "Hip Hop Is Dead" because I just love the music...but how many of us in this board actually live the culture? Nas, Monie Love and Melle Mell all seem to think that "Hip Hop is Dead"...Is it due to lack of versatility...due to little commercial exposure when it comes to talented cats....due to a lot of garbage flooding the market...or all the above? So is Hip Hop dead....I really don't know, but I do know that a lot of quality music is being released. Cats like Nas and Melle Mell (more so for Melle Mell) have been on the scene for a while and rightfully have their reasons to make quotes such as what they have made. And if Chuck D ain't mad at it...I don't see why any of us should be. :shrug:

Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead

Adding on to that you might also like Melle Mel,Slick Rick, De La Soul, Doug E Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew, Big Daddy Kane (and most of the cats from the juice crew) and Biz Markie. Although they are a slightly different style, most JJFP fans like "A Tribe Called Quest".

Congratulations to Nas man! Dude deserves it!

Wow that was awesome! So Jean Grae is on "The Return"?

Yeah "who killed it" is by far the most creative and lyrical track of this year....I couldnt decrypt lot of the metaphors without doing some research...so that was some fun but the voices are quite annoying....

KOS - The Love Song

Cormega and Ghostface - Tony Montana Ghostface's flow on this one...wow!
