  1. I had heard of this, and I heard Fat Joe was included in the named rappers.

    On "Why you hate the game" by game feat. nas, Nas says "Just let Murder Inc Live...."

    which I think is exactly what needs to happen. If people don't like Ja Rule and company, then don't buy the record, but don't blast them every second of every day.

    I heard his new song "get up" and his remix of "me and you" and I think they are pretty good. With DMX and Ja coming to peace, it seems like maybe we can just have collaborations without beefs for a lil at least...

  2. I do find it funny that Nas is doing a song like hip hop is dead.. from illmatic he completely sold out.. started rapping about cars clothes and money.. doing jiggy singles :woono:

    I don't know, I kind of feel he's got to have resentment for other rappers getting more attention for raps that don't have much meaning. Sure he's done stuff to stay mainstream, but I don't believe at all he's sold out, he's different than any of those rappers out there today. NOW Jay-z, having a budweiser commercial endorse his ablum, THAT is selling out completely. I love Jay, but like, he get's more respect from media (like MTV that named him #1 all time rapper) because of his sellout. Nas has done alot to get his name out there, but the fact he isn't looked at too much from mainstream says something for him NOT willing to sell-out. Everything he raps about has meaning.

  3. I think the reason why Lupe's album didn't sell as well as they thought it'd is 'cause I heard some people say that they liked the leaked version better so hopefully Nas don't have to push his album back and record new material 'cause it might not be as good as what leaked, that's the bad thing about having an album leak early like this, btw I heard Game's album leaked too, it's only 2 weeks away so it's not too bad

    it did and ITS AWESOME

  4. Will is loooooadet, so he can buy himself Beats from any Producers. And has enough friends and fans in the game, I mean if he would he could get almost the whole South on there,lol

    I'm not talking money, I'm just talking getting those guys to put the time into the production. You can tell when they just "mail it in" or when they really try to make something special for someone they really respect and want to work with. It's hard to find anyone trying to collaborate with Will, it's always the other way around.

  5. Here's the link enjoy!! (I'm not sure how long AllHiphop.com leaves it up, I know they update their playlist often, so listen to it now!!)

    The song "Hip Hop is Dead" from the new album by Nas has leaked online (because I'm relatively new, I don't know if I can mention the site it's streaming on if it's considered advertising). I think it's an awesome song. It shows off will.i.am's creativity with a bass line and a drum set. There's a part when it really seems to play off the old JJFP style. Also, Nas brings his best to the table with the lyrics:

    "everybody sound the same

    comercialized the game

    reminiscing when it wasn't all business

    if it got where it started

    so we all gather here for the daily departed

    hip hop is sense a timer

    one homeboy become a man then a mobster

    if it dies let me get my last with the rocker

    R.I.P we donate your lungs to a roster

    went from turntables to mp3's

    from beatstreets to commercials or mickey d's

    from go cables to jacobs

    from play facials to botox and face lifts

    ...

    (I'm pretty sure I got those lyrics right, that's just a snippet of the end when they've got the crowd chanting "hip hop" and when its got the old school feel.)
