The "Hip-Hop is Dead" title, just like the "N-Word" title was a big publicity thing!. That album came out around a time where Southern dance music was ruling the radio air-waves and it was the Southern dance music that was supposedly "killing hip-hop"!. Nas is a smart man!. He knows that if he started saying "hip-hop is dead" that everyone will!. Guess what!? Everyone did!. I think the message Nas was tryin' to get across was that an era of hip-hop was coming to an end!. The era of the "the old school"!. Which is what the song "Where Are They Now!?" talks about!.
I think by saying hip-hop is "dead" Nas means that he was the one who has to save it!. He was trying to save hip-hop with this album!. In a time where dance music was all over MTV and the radio, the people, and hip-hop music as a genre needed something real!. Real hip-hop!. I hate the terms "real" and "fake" hip-hop, but that's really what it meant!.
Overall, it's a very good album!. I suggest you get it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well hip-hop is dead is just a song well hip hop is kindof burning out with artist like hurricane chris, souljaboy!. Nas is trying to build it up again, and his album if you listen to lyrics is full of meaning many philosophy behind it and even supporting Obama!. On the other hand he is signed to def Jam and the company want to make as much $$ as possible so he continues!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I agree man!.!.!. Nas is one of the best rappers out there because of his lyrical content!. no one out there in the game spits knowledge anymore!. No one makes you really think!. I mean wayne is tight with his rhymes dont get me wrong!.!.!. but everything now and days is just bytches, cars, money and material $hyt!.!.!. no one goes into the story of life anymore really!. Think back to the pioneers to da ish!.!.!. then look at things now!.
