Fuck soda use V-12
Keep a stash

Cause every fiend you miss want three

1. Never talk on the phone in ya house
2. Never

3. Never fuck

4. Keep a low key
And if you movin weight
Treat yo'self to an uzi
The first hit for free

But the next time you see me

5. Never pay
Pimp hoes for the pussy
That's the 'Merican way
Clean up ya dirty money
to good money
Cause legal money last longer than drug
money.

Chorus.
Fade Out.

This lyric sort of jumped out at me. I think it's the most insightful line in the song.

Bro are you kidding me? Has ANY major art form in history EVER just died?

Never.

Hip-hop is in a slump right now that happens to all major art forms. People should stop crying that hip-hop is dead and start looking for new talent. Do you really believe there is not one person out there who has the ability to rhyme in a way that would satisfy alot of real hip-hop fans today? As far as im concerned this is every rappers fault for not defining what they do is not hip-hop and is more along the lines of pop music. Every fucking rapper with a voice right now is saying all the wrong things. Melodramatic fucks. Nas is screaming hip-hop is dead for one simple reason. Money. He knows by declaring this ahead of everyone else, we will all look to him for 'redemption' from a fake hip-hop death. Do people forget what the fuck hip-hop was founded on? Despair, poverty, death, happiness, EMOTION, and ESPECIALLY...explotation and publicity. The day people run out of emotion is the day hip-hop will die. Fuck the bullshit. Keep crying wolf while the real emcees are in the lab cooking up some shit to shut your mouth when you least expect it. You can bet that i'll be one of those cooking and not bitching on some fake bullshit. 99% of you people don't even know what music is, much less hip-hop, you just listen to it when you get drunk with your friends and want to know the words to some catchy bullshit. You allow the media to spoon feed you American commercialized culture like there's no tomorrow. Look man, either shit or get off the pot. If you don't like the current state of hip-hop tell people you meet about other shit that you know is dope and people will still be in to, if you really cared about the music you would do something about it not just move on to the next thing everyone plays at their house party when they turn on the radio. America is falling apart more and more everyday and you sit there and tell me an art form based and fueled on this same princicpal is dying? Ok. Sure buddy. Open your mind....hip-hop isn't dead it's regenerating while you think its bleeding to death. I appreciate Nas telling everyone hip-hop is dead. I hope i'm wrong about it being a publicity stunt and maybe there really is still a real emcee left in hip-hop...if there is he will still be in that category when everything is said and done. But if it's not a publicity stunt it still isn't bad if it's opened so many eyes and ears to what's really happening to this art form. One way or the other hip-hop is missing something right now, but i'm confident it will be coming along sooner than later.


Oh and hip-pop (yea i said hip-pop) needs to stop with all the fucking stupid ass catch phrases they have half the world saying. Sorry if you're just joking i just think its mindless and fucking ignant to repeat the same bullshit glorifying these people who get rich off exploitations.

Forgive me please if others have already bought this up but I am at a loss for time now. Drugs have been featured in popular music since at least the 1890s, and I would suspect for as long as humankind has existed. Jazz records about cannabis are subgenre among collectors in fact.
 
GreenBarts: First off, Nas is talking about backpacker hiphop, not the bling bling commercial oriented nonsense that passes fot it. In fact, as poetic as Nas IS you must no be familiar with Common [formerly Common Sense of Chicagao and Eryka Baydu fame. Common has been making records saying the same exact thing [albeit in his own words and style] since 93.

Hiphop is certainly alive and as it has grown and evolved it has metamorphised into so many forms that to a purist it would seem as if it had disappeared, just like salsa [with the scourge of Reggaeton].

Unlike Nas, I just see it for what it really is, that is that radio play does not define hip hop nor has it ever. In the States, where I was born, I lived in the South Bronx [Webster P.J.s, 196 and Webster, Webside. Right up the hill from my building is the legendary "Blackdoor?" Who here even knows that that is? That is the join where Flash got his start. Funk Master Flex took his name from a DJ in my PJs named Funkmaster and added the Flex to make it his own [Flex is from the White Plains Road area]. Point is, although it would not seem to be soemthing I am aware of considering my background it is actually the mussic of my youth and I still follow it.

"Snow." I remember that whiteboy cum Jamaican also. I was in back in the States when he blew up. "Informer" was his baig thing and although he did bring some heat for Toronto [I remember picking up a couple of Toronoto compilations that were sweet] he himself had nothing going after that hit.

"Banning the shorts." Well there are two strong things that would make them ban it. First, anything worn by a lot of non-whites as a fashion statement will be perceived by mainstream whites as some kind of gang emblem. Remember Raiders throwbacks? Mainstream whites are generally terrified in a Nat Turner sort fo way of any show of solidarity among a group they fear yet secrety crave.

The other reason is that the shirt was produced over in NYC, along with the parodies of cereal boxes that show drugs in innuendo. Snowman=snow in alot of minds. The cereal shirts though are blatant [yet pretty funny to me].
 
Hip-hop is anything but dead. There's a lot of underground and political hiphop artists who have been writing better songs than Biggie and Tupac lately. Just because what's popular in hiphop has gone downhill doesn't mean the entirety of the genre has. The good stuff is better than ever, it's just not going mainstream like the good stuff used to.
 
^That happens to any genre of music which becomes popular. The original innovators who made the first benchmarks become popular, imitators swoop in, perhaps refining the approach at first but eventually the original impetus for the music is lost, the originators either leave or stop evolving and the genre reverts to profit-gain motives. Because money talks, it is the music most visible on radio, TV, and other maintream distribution channels. Money also has poor taste, hence why most popular music of any genre sucks. Rap, considering its demographic, is particularly susceptible since urban blacks are naturally gonna be more concerned with acquiring wealth. Since the ghetto-stompin crackslingin badass gangsta pimp image sells when you package it with a heavy beat, that's what your gonna hear.

Re on that anyhow, I think the youth's obsession with the gangsta image is indicative of the basic alpha-male archetype that youth idolize. They want to associate with those darker themes and lone-wolf type dominant characters who live on the edge and die fighting, which holds a certain romantic ideal. Personally I think there's far too much money worship (something white culture taught them in the first place, go figure) but I still enjoy the dark beats and the inventive word use of the better rappers. Like most popular music, alot of it is aesthetically entertaining but artistically meaningless.
 
The antidote

Of course, the KRS1 song 'Loves gonna Get ya' is a great anti-drugs rap. Lets face it, most rap is misogynist, violent and firmly into the drug culture. I like De La Soul (shows how old I am!)
 
bah, i have a lot of respect for the clipse.

2 artists who after getting fucked up on their second record release for 3 years went back to the streets to make a living the best way they knew how.

now they have come back to the music game w/ the tales of how they survived for the past three years even w/out a record deal...

these two are hustlers in every sense of the word.

being able to turn something into nothing is the American Dream.

its funny that a bunch of kids on a pill board would condem crack sales considering many rave promoters and attendees around the world made large sums of cash during the late 90s by selling ecstasy to underage kids at raves....

we all have to have a come up.

quit being mad that "crack-rap" the predecessor to "gansta rap" which was originally called "reality rap" details the only avenue for success an entire generation of ppl feel they have.

if i had not made it into higher education and then law school, i can almost guarantee i would be right beside every other clipse listener grinding out my paper in the street by any means necessary.
 
i love everyone who screams hip hop is dead and shit. get off your high horse and enjoy the music. i guarantee half the people that complain rap sucks now bang to some of the records. so what if the lyrics on a whole arnt as good? what about artisits like luda, papoose, etc.... lucacris being a good example of some sick lyrics and hes from the south.... saigon is ill too
 
Man that mainstream crap isnt even hip hop--ask any self proclaimed "rap" fan out there where Hip Hop was created, who invented it, etc--No one knows their damn roots! Even 90's rappers knew some of the old heads who they owed their careers to...

As for MCs and Producers...Djs...its all about Black Moon, Group Home, DJ Premier, Gangstarr (Gangstarr Foundation), Masta Ace, DJ Revolution, Loop Troop, Company Flow....

Would be a great day to hear "and you dont stop" hip hop on the radio....stay up~

hip hop is experiencing the the same shit that rock did in the 80's. Also, who the fuck else is going to supply the black folk with drugs, white people? Illegal drugs have been in black neighborhoods since the 30's, it has nothing to do with rap it has to do with poor people.
 
True--poverty and various substances--those substances know no certain skin color though..doesnt matter your ethnicity, they can be good for some, bad for others..what matters is how well the one person can use it as a tool...
