I'll give you a hint: I typed this on June 5, 2007 at 10:17PM...and Dangerous Science is Hip Hop...what do you know? I'm Alive On Arrival like Green Lantern's mixtape!!! 100% Dopity Dope!
Why would you ask a question like this? NaS last album titled Hip Hop Is Dead was not meant to be taken litterally but more of an eye opener to the current status of the hip hop community. Once something is dead it is no longer functional, it cannot become living again, and the the fact of the matter is hip hop is very much alive. One may ditest the current status of the Hip Hop community but to say it is dead is getting quite annoying to me.
Hip hop is dead nas is talking about the hip hop that he knew the old skool beats and the lyrical madness.
these days it looks like their are a million rappers rapping on the same fucking song a diffirent beat but the concept stays the same its just wack and i know people say to me yo woofer you need to stop hughing the past now i'm 21 but i love a sound like slick rick krs one with step into my world fuck guys like mims i make beats so i'm a musical type and now an days that part off hip hop is DEAD cats like mos def and talib kweli need to rule the world again Props to Nas i can relate to that album Can't Forget About You that's the song were his hart was pushed in Woofer......06-06-2007
The answer is to ask yourself what the probability is that this topic has already been discussed and then look at the forum topic history to get the perspective you're requesting.
