Before ya'll jump into shit...I'm letting you know I own several Nas albums, such as Illmatic and It Was Written, and I think dude has some of the best songs ever put out.
But saying Hip Hop is Dead is just dumb bullshit...Isn't artists like Talib Kweli, JMT, Ghostface, etc, all puttin out albums still? And the albums are good. His album was not bad either, but maybe dude is expecting to sell a lot like he used to. I hate the south, but if dudes are selling let them live and don't pay them no mind...Don't get mad at them. Just ignore them and do your shit. Dude can't just get mad and say that...If dude saying its dead, what the fuck is he puttin out, a Rock n Roll abum? Shit I'll smack Nas' cuffi if I see him walking down the street.

if you didn't notice... the whole album is trying to send the message that whoever says hip-hop is dead is the reason why hip-hop is dead. and you can't sit there and tell me that hip-hop isn't lacking what used to be it's foundation. I give Nas every right to say hip-hop is dead because he was one of the first ones to put out classic material that till this day is a key reference to a masterpiece album.

I mean, Nas does have the rights to say whatever he might, because his album catalog backs him up. But that does not stop from not feeling his movement.
I will keep listening to the album, but I would still disagree with part of the message.

5 Elements of hip hop are:
Graffiti, B-boys, MC'ing, Turntablism, and Knowledge Deep, how many mainstream artists do u see with all of these elements being used?

^^haha Thats exactly what we got to avoid, to make Hip Hop life's stronger. But yes, that Noodle Soup shit would turn the greatest era of hip hop to a downfall one.
PS: I need to hear that track, I mean I have to grow some more balls and man up, I have been avoiding it, but I need to find out what we're fighting with.

To tell the truth, I don't know what that shit is about, I aint even heard the instrumental...Would you sum up what the lyrics say? I mean what a title like that can try to let us know?

^^ the beat is annoying .. with fuckin loud alarms... the bitch who "raps" is annoying cuz of the wack lyrics and chipmunk voice .. and the hook is
"ah let it rain... then clear it out ah let it rain ... then clear it out chicken noodle soup chicken noodle soup chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side"

I'm tired of my opinions failing to reach the readers just cuz of my Latin roots.
ps: Yes I am...I want to see if Mel can put out a not anti-semitic movie.
