 Coolness: 77620 | Nas' last album was really interesting. I listened to it a bunch of times, but decided it was full of as many hits and misses as any other conscious hip hop album. The production is tight but the song near the end that samples "Unforgettable" was way too late-90s backpacker and cheesy. But so was Nas I guess.
I think he's being a bit extreme. Soulja Boy got better and proved he wasn't just a dance craze, Busy Signal does amazing autotune tracks, and T-Pain is great, honestly. Kanye West, however, is still a very, very, gay fish, because he's trying to swim his way to glory and splendour by following trends. The problem is BET. The videos that get regular rotation are idiotic and insulting, and they totally perpetuate the image they're lampooning in that video. I don't know where to stand though because people honestly love hearing stupid lyrics. And yeah, for almost any artist I like these days it's like they all have some shit that they put out collaborating with all the new favourites which is as pre-packaged and fabricated as any other pop reality. But in the midst of all that shit there's some really amazing production going on, and I think whenever Nas says hip hop is dead he's secretly lamenting the fact that if he doesn't find a new gimmick he's going to get resigned to being called the whiny paranoid of rap for the rest of his life. And a bit of a nutcase for making that sort of video. I mean it's funny but it's a bit too funny for the wrong reasons... why would he use that to convey his message? What a weirdo. |

| Coolness: 87415 | I honestly haven't listened to much later Nas. I didn't like that duet shit with Lauren Hill, even though everybody else seemed to...
for me it's all about Illmatic... one of the best hip hop albums of all time. not to say he won't do a good track here and there, but I haven't heard any later tracks that come anywhere that first album |

| Coolness: 87415 | I like Lauren Hill - she has a great voice - solo and obviously the old Fugees stuff..
I just thought that track they did together was pop music compared to their earlier work |

 Coolness: 160030 | Allow me to get a little Busta Rhymes up in this shit but I love Nas. I have profound respect and admiration for the guy. Despite this watermelon skit having the absolute adverse effect he's looking for (yeeeeah, right), I like how he's got balls enough to say Hip Hop is dead.
Because honestly, it fucking is. Sure, there are decent artists out there but as whole, hip-hop, just like the rave scene, lost its integrity when dead presidents became its primary "raison-d'être". Funny how most hip hop artists rap about being gangstah and shit, about "bitches and hoes" when clearly, THEY'RE the fucking hoes, whoring themselves and their culture for a quick buck. They crave money like Tyrone Biggums craves crack. Most CDs should be labeled "Sucky sucky album, fiv dalla'". I'm sure a lot of people complain about how Nas has been doing the "same shit since 1992" but fuck, if it ain't broke, why fix it ? U2 and the Rolling Stones have barely changes styles in decades and their shows are still jam packed to the tits. I really liked Nas' album "God's Son" minus that gay Jesus track that, well, we could've done without. But fuck is this guy a prominent lyricist. Just like another Queensbridge favorite, Rakim. I rediscovered Nas lately because of a video game, of all things. Skate 2 on the X-Box 360 features Nas' "Made You Look" which, I swear, was looped almost continuously throughout the game. I'm nowhere near a hip-hop expert but I gots mad luv for Nasir Jones or any other artists who manages to retain some old-schoolism and integrity and, guess what, still manages to laugh all the way to the bank. |
