***NAS***..."Hip Hop Is Dead" - VS - "Untitled"

[DR. JEK]

This track alone gives Hip Hop is Dead the win to me

 

[juelz21]

untitled easily.

 

[moneycrooksent.]

"Hip-Hop Is Dead" a borderline 5 Mic album. "Untitled" had some classic and meaningful songs but some missteps. I know some song didn't make the album so that got it off course and not being able to use the original title. The Breezy joint was cool but didn't fit the (Nigga Album) concept. "HHID" production was an A+, great collabos, and Nas at his best!!! 1

There comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back

Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps

Wanna gather your thoughts, have a cold one

Brag, to your grandkids about how life is golden

So I will light a cigar in the corridor of the crib

Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did

All the money and fame, eight by tens

Of the whole Rat Pack inside of a big frame

Collidin' with big names that could've made your career stop

All that, and your man is still here, and I'm still hot

Wow, I need a moment y'all

See, I almost felt a tear drop

Grown man shit. He was 33 when he made this.

I never liked HHID like that. Even when it came out I was expecting more. Shit, i play Nastradamus and Street's Disciple more than HHID. Those 3 albums are the weakest in nas discography.

Nas original title was suppose to be Hip Hop is Dead.... The Nigger. I think he was gonna make it a double album at first

what in the fuck? No that was never supposed to happen lol, he got his double album in with SD, HHID and Untitled were two different time frames of where Nas' head was at, now I Am...Nastradamus was supposed to happen, that's what you're thinking of

I know that but i could've sworn i read somewhere it was suppose to be a double album.

One thing i know for sure is that HHID was originally titled "Hip Hop is Dead... The Nigger"

No bruh, at no point was that supposed to happen, think about how dumb that sounds

@"its....JOHN B" .... @Cybertr0n is actually correct about the title. It's also says on wikipedia which isn't that reliable that nas untitled was originally gonna be called "Hip Hop is Dead.... The N"

^^^ lol, what the fuck? but yeah i knew i was right. nas business partner anthony saleh said that nas doesn't like his HHID album like that or something. hold on, let me find the tweet

Edit: fuck it, i'm too lazy to find that shit

 

[its....JOHN B]

The Nigger...The N....Tomato Tomahto I guess, I actually remember the N he also had an unreleased track called "The N" that came out that summer around the same time "where they at" came out, both songs were in heavy rotation

 

[BedStuy]

also nas verse on black republicans >>> Jigga's verse

Jigga had the longest verse with no stand out lines. no one raps along to that shit. just because he had more to say don't mean he had the better verse. nas wasn't even tryna outshine him but he still stood out more with less to say

album is still just aight to me but whatever
