I fail to realize that he didn't make a statement about what his album meant? Are you fucking retarded? And I'm not being an asshole, I'm straight up asking if you're retarded. He's clarified it numerous interviews and his songs. Give me ONE EXAMPLE OF NAS SAYING THE SOUTH KILLED HIP HOP. Just one. You can't do it. All you can do is feed into the hype because you're not capable of independant thought. You hear other ignorant ass motherfuckers crying that Nas dissed the South and you join right in completely ignoring all of the evidence to the contrary.
When would it have been accetable for Nas to clarify his album title? The shit's not even out yet. It's not his fault that all these dumb ass niggas get it twisted.
Andre didn't vocalize it?? He's all but given up rapping - that's more than Nas is doing. Actions speak louder than words. Go check his interviews - he's says he not inspired by all these weak ass bitin ass motherfuckers in the game.
And Killer Mike made that song in 03 when Lil Jon was the crowned fuckin Don of the South, so there goes that arguement.
Get the fuck outta here..."quit reaching". You're the one turning shit into something it's not.
No. They don't have a guilty conscience. They have someone, who at the time seemed as he was saying the Hip Hop industry is dead. If the Hip Hop industry is dead, then that would be saying what the Souths been doing isn't shit. You can't understand simple logic like that?
If Hip Hop is dead, and that is the culture of the industry, then the industry is dead. Again, you just can't seem to understand it: anyone at the top would have taken that as a shot at them. Nobody is guilty. Nobody is anything except justified. If Nas didn't want to start a contraversy he wouldve released a statement from jump. But he didn't. He want people to talk. Contraversy sells. Much like Jigga fell for Jim Jones' bait, the South jumped at Nas'. Was he aiming it at the South? None of us know because we are not Nas. Does his saying its not aimed at South prove anything? No. This is the entertainment industry, people will try their best to be as diplomatic as possible.
Made the title to stir contraversy, but as people do in the Industry, they save face by being diplomatic. Again, the title surfaced before the explanation, which left it open for others to make their mind up on what they think he means. This is everything, but you can't seem to grasp such a simple concept.
Everybody was speculating about his album title. First it was gonna be called "The Nigga" - some would argue that that is probably a MUCH more controversial album title. Should he have immediately went out there and released a statement saying "Now if you're black please don't get offended by this". Fuck no! Were there people out there that probably got really butthurt when they heard his album was called that? Absolutely. But that's on them, not on Nas. It's not his responsibilty to predict the 1000 different ways his title is going to be interpreted. The onus is on the listener to hear his explaination, which he did in the very first interview when he announced his new album title. Your fronting like Nas was asked what it meant and he refused to say it, lol. So just leave this thread to die - you have nothing.
i have to give major props to jrome for his argument here. took the words ouit of my mouth
Once again, you can't seem to grasp the simple concept of why people got at Nas. Oh well, explaining things to idiots isn't really my thing.
obviously it is your thing you faggotget the fuck outta here with this I know everything shit, you're lame buddy
Ladies, Ladies, calm down.SGV, Hip-Hop is not dead, but it's on life support. The south, just like the west, is RAP MUSIC. Rap music is an element of Hip-Hop, but Hip-Hop is a way of life, it's what you do. DJing and MCing are living, graffiti and breakdancing are dying, the street movement is dying, as the street MCs are pushed to the underground, and Nas is basically saying his going to resurrect it. You are known for going against the grain, but dogg, face fact, Hip-Hop was bought. Sony and Universal, and on a smaller scale Time Warner, own Hip-Hop. They gutted it, and are selling what is marketable. The gets points on independent labels. That is the most important thing for Hip-Hop to come from it's coma. Having independent labels means that Hip-Hop will have what's needed to be it's self, free from the bull shit Sony and Universal put it through.Who cares who took offense to Nas's title. The south as a region is too weak to battle. People got mad at Quik, no disses, they got mad at this cat, that cat, nothing. Nas currently is the king of battling. Even 50 Cent ain't respond to a weak jab thrown by Nas, and that's the type of stuff 50 lives off of. He Ether'd Jay-Z. Nas was not aiming at the South, he was aiming at the industry, in terms of the suits that bought Hip-Hop. I knew that by the title. Whoever gets mad and think it's a diss to the south though deserves that Ether. I doubt Nas will even respond, he wouldn't get into beef if he didn't mean to.
