go to Monie Vs Jeezy

They having a discussion about why hip hop is head...Jeezy gets real offended and brings up Nas for no reason and is trying to defend the notion that hip hop ain't dead.  I was listening to it live, and it was crazy, especially once he got pissed off and left

No matter how hard he denies it, "Hip Hop is dead" was aimed at the south, and it seems like Nas is losing more and more respect down there each passing day. He needs 2 get a hip hop is dead remix with some southern artists or something, coz lets face it, if the south dont buy your cd, your gona flop hard.

How in the fuck is it aimed at the south?  South catching feelings is nothing but them having a guilty conscience.  Besides Nas been doing songs with southern artists - see Luda and Scarface.  He doesn't need to do anything.

I think Young Jeezy has a guilty conscience, cuz nigga is wack as fuck. IMFO.

[d-nice]

I think Nas meant the hip hop industry (and that is what it has turned into) is dead. The artform and everything that comes along with it. With that said, Nas contradicts himself more than any hip hop artist with his statements and the south is running things. I don't know if he has made any comments about specific rappers in the south but they are on top right now so that is why they probably felt he meant the south.

So its just a coincidence, that he makes a track called hip hop is dead as soon as the south is on top? bullshit, he was talking bout the south imo.

Well apparently you haven't read any of his interviews about why he named his album that.  He blames himself, other rappers, mtv/bet, but mostly business / capitalism.  Never has he once said "Ths south killed hip hop".  Like I said, if the people in the south are offended that he would say that, it's cuz they feel guilty.

Jeezy had a very valid point.  But this "Hip Hop is Dead" phrase can be taken in many different contexts....

Exactly...and if you listen to the new CD Nas sheds some light on it. I can't think of the exact lyrics right now or the song but it's on there. I'm gonna listen to the album again and then I'll post the lyrics.
