Uh... These guys are taking it as Nas is talking about Hip Hop Music being dead. Seriously, what are you watching? LOL. First you're talking about the video, then you're talking about something else.

That's the problem. These rappers are mad, though they don't even understand what Nas is saying. Hardly worthy of the discussion, but it's been going for 3 pages already :D
SGV:
Its their interpretation. But its not like they don't have reason to think that way. With all this "On My NY Shit" going around, emcees and DJs aren't trying to give the South their props anymore as they're trying to bring it back to NY. Call it paranoia on the part of certain Southern rappers, but the "threat" is there.

It is about these groups because maybe if you actually read the thread and watched the video you'd know that it's about the Dutty Boys because they're in the god damn video.
And 4/5 people represent the whole of the south? I'm not even going to comment on anything else after that.

Jacob: That may be true for "Older" Hip Hop heads. But, the kids that are listening to Hip Hop today will still be talking about shit like "King," "Thug Motivation," "College Dropout" etc. etc. You're looking at it from an older heads perspective. Just like I'm sure cats from the early 80s thought shit from the late 80s early 90s was wack. And so on. When coming from YOUR Golden Era of Hip Hop, everything else sounds wack.

outside of the chronic and doggystyle most of those classics were relatively unknown to me til i got deeper within hip hop
true kids will remember albums like king thug motivation . , just like old school heads remember whodini and west coast heads will remember coolio , BUT what i'm saying is what SIGNIFICANT album has come out in the last 5 years that a)has changed the game and b)has left people outside of it's normal fan base wihout a shadow of a doubt that it's a classic ?
stankonia?
MMLP?
College drop out?
blueprint?
Stillmatic?
all are pretty tight albums and are arguably classic, but as "BIG" and as popular as rap is right now there is sure more disposable art than significant art
check it
you have bands from the 60's STILL selling albums and t-shirts from their debut albums. and it's not like it's just one band that's doing this, you've literally got damn near a hundred OLD ass bands/groups/artists who were around before some of our parents were born doing this. As of right now do you see many artists being inclined enough to do this? and i'm not just talking about rap i'm talking about all music today...for some reason music has started to become more and more stale since around 98', and it's not because i out grew music at that time, (shit i was like 13) i just notice now, looking at my ipod ....the quality of the music from 98' down, tapers.i'm not blaming the south mmaybe it's political. with the government cutting funds for music education in public schools, this makes the children more and more ignorant to art. if people are becoming more and more musically ignorant , how do you expect them to MAKE quality music.

can sum1 recommend to me some tight recent shit that has come out? the majority of the rap i dl nowadays pretty much sucks ass.
201-killer_mike-thats_life.mp3
202-killer_mike-dueces_wild.mp3
those are 2 tracks ive enjoyed listening to during the past week that are pretty cool.
Chief:
Nas has a point... hip-hop is dead... just because it's selling doesnt mean it's alive.... look at tupac.
