Untitled was way better than HHID.
I don't know why niggas are so angry at Nas. But God's Song, Hip Hop is Dead, and Untitled are all great albums.Street Disciple - hate all you want lol that shit was awfull!
Untitled >>>>> Hip Hop is Dead
agree with TC... hip-hop is dead should be a classic imo, it only has two bad songs on it (who killed it and where are they now)... put hope og on there, switch where are they now for the 80s remix of it, and cut who killed it (or put surviving the times or dont body yaself ) and you have a perfect album.its def in my top 3 nas lps
Quote from: Blasphemy on August 08, 2010, 01:16:33 PMI think it's 1 of his more Over-Rated albums IMO. Just because the Phrase "Hip-Hop is Dead" got raped by every motherfucker in the mainstream.Don't get me wrong certain stuff in Hip-Hop died, but not all of it. What does that have to do with the album? My God you "fans" are so stupid nowadays.I fuck my girl doggy style all the time, does that make Snoop's debut album overrated? In high school I used to get high every day, does that make "The Chronic" overrated?

Its a decent album, but nowhere near a classic. You're possibly right by saying its underrated though as it got a lot of hate when it came out...but classic? Nowhere near.
HHID was not a concept album. There were maybe 2 tracks that focused on the theme of Hip-Hop dying, all the the others were typical Nas joints.I like this album more than Untitled tho.
LOL. Dude you are reaching with almost all of the songs. You based your song summaries off one line in the entire song.Go listen to the records again as a whole. Money Over Bitches is a generalized street track, one of Nas' trademarks. There's no concept here.The title track is on concept.Hope doesn't really count, but is on concept.Black Republican is Nas street raps / Jay talking about collabing with Nas finallyNot Going Back is about getting out the hood and not going backStill Dreaming: Only the last verse is on concept. Don't try and tell me Ye's verse is about hip hop dying, lol. Blunt Ashes is reminiscing about past great entertainers, which IIRC did not mention one rapper or Hip-Hop at all.Let There Be Light is about Nas being a grown up thugCan't Forget About You is on conceptHustlers is another street track of random rhymesWho Killed It? is on conceptthe rest I can't remember and don't fuck with.1 line or 1 verse in a whole song dedicated to the concept doesn't make it on concept, and if you gonna try and pull some 'I'm not reading into the metaphor shit or the songs are going over my head' you reaching.
