The South Is Mad At Nas

[big mat]

and ya mama will beat your ass after that

[Sikotic™]

Why should the SOuth care about Nas? They're doing 10 times the numbers.

[herpes]

LMFAO @ whys everything gotta be about something... and lol @ bringin up record sales... Nas is title is about the music... its about the culture as a whole that is dead.... sorry if this makes no sense i had to smoke and start drinkin after the mets game b/c i need to fall asleep somehow

[MontrealCity's Most]

Outside of Wayne, Devin, Face and a couple of others I dont like the South at all music wise. But you cant deny they are on top right now, the South supports their artists like crazy. Isnt TI's album already over 1.5 or 1.6 million?  Anyways they are on top and have been the past couple years as much as I hate to say that cause majority of the music sucks imo

Thats because the rappers you mentionned are good and besides a couple of other southern rappers all of it is almost all crunk on that shit is not hip hop.

[Raspass]

Nasir lost  let the hating continue.

Dipset

Funny how them dudes in the video only proved Nas is right with his album title. He was only saying hiphop culture is spiritually dead, people in general is brainwashed... And then you got some ignorant fools from the south taking it all personal, as if Nas was even aiming at that. Nas really is right on that one.

I wouldn't call ugk hip hop but they are my favorite crew from the south no doubt. They more gangsta rap to me.

Indeed hip-hop is dead!!!!  And unfortunatly for the hip-hop lovers HIP-POP is alive!!!!!

That's two different things...  Cause Nas, Masta Ace, Wu-Tang, Mos Def, etc, can't be put in the same musical category as UGK, Mike Jones, T.I and them other south cats.  That's just two different kind of music, who just happen to be made by the same kind of people (african-american between 18 and 35 yo).

Hardcore and metal are two different kinds of music, but they made by the same kind of people (white guys between 20 and 70 yo )...

You get the point???

[big mat]

nope, i dont see how u can elevate your mind spiritualy with the kind of music d4l are making

south cant match the east or west when it comes to quality artists.

[Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement]

Chamillionaire is the only south rapper i really listen too.   but yea, niggaz be on that hoe shit though.

[WC Iz Active]

south cant match the east or west when it comes to quality artists.

no it cant, but sales are a different a story.

[Narrator]

south cant match the east or west when it comes to quality artists.

Not the East, but the West for sure.  How hard is it these days to outmatch the West in quality?  99% of what the West puts out these days is old-ass has-been rappers who claim they're still Crippin' at 40, and most of them can't even rap that well anymore.  The best Southern rappers of today (Outkast, Goodie Mob, UGK, 8Ball & MJG, Little Brother, Ludacris, T.I., etc.) easily match the best West Coast rappers of the 90s.

I can't stand the south hype. The style of the new era south music is pissing me off. Very childish music, only about simple hooks and dope delivery. Ever since Jay pimped Nas, I lost respect for Nas. But, on this one, I'm with Nas.

how many TRUE classic albums can hip hop claim?

not that many considering other genres of music


how many TRUE classics can southern hip hop claim?

not many at all


now out of ALLLLLL classic albums in hip hop , which one rises to the top  universally on most lists?

Illmatic



so IMO nas has more authority to talk about the state of hip hop's current state then some E-R'ers whose lives revolve around being bar flies
