Did Hip-Hop Have To Die In Order For Nas To Be Resurrected?

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Much like Jay's "Kingdom Come", Nas's new album is the work of a man maturing in hip-hop. "Hip-Hop Is Dead" has a soul that most rap albums today are missing.
Review: After the debacle that was "Street's Disciple", Nas was going to have to do a lot to get back into my good graces.

While he's always been a compelling MC, Nas has been frustratingly inconsistent throughout his career. After pulling out one...

Nas Throws Everything But The Kitchen Sink Out For Hip Hop Is Dead

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: After last year's uncertainty, Nas puts out an album that stabilizes hip-hop after many a rough patch.
Review: In this day and age, no matter their past rivalries – both Jay-Z and Nas are compared a lot to each other. Every hip-hop head who's on this site or a fan of both in general are opinionated with the best of them, they could be arguing that "It Was...

State of the Hip-Hop Nation: The Elder Statesman Delivers His Long-Awaited Speech

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: View Nas' Hip Hop Is Dead as the resulting manifesto of his career - this is the best rap album of 2006, period
Review: In retrospect, we all should have known that Nas would get to this point – the very personification of hip hop's conscience. Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones has had the most fascinating – albeit frustrating – artistic metamorphosis in rap history...

Hip Hop Is Dead [PA]
Title and all, Nas s eighth solo album clearly intends to spark controversy. But what gives Nasir Jones the right to declare that HIP HOP IS DEAD? For one Nas s 5-mic debut album ILLMATIC represents the best of a by-gone era. Since then he s tried to find his place in the ever-evolving genre, flirting with the mainstream to mixed results, all the while mired in beef with former allies and childhood friends as well industry rivals. The fact that HIP-HOP IS DEAD is the product of his teaming with one of those former(?) rivals, Jay-Z, shows that business trumps beef--as Nas emphasizes on track one, Money Over Bull****. The title cut, with its pounding Iron Butterfly beat and nihilistic lyrics, is profoundly provocative. And while the long-awaited collaboration with Jay-Z on Black Republicans will inevitably draw attention, Nas shows he s best on his own--doing his Sam Spade impression in the hard-boiled detective story Who Killed It ; producing an unapologetic swansong to his hood life in Not Going Back ; and sp
