Nas Unhappy With State of Hip-Hop, Says "The Realness" Is Dead

[Sour-Cream]

Man, I'm trying to figure what part of Brooklyn she does these stoop interviews. Look like they're close to the Barnes and Noble i go to in Brooklyn Heights.

Off court street and Atlantic ave by the nets stadium.

"Your word was everything, So everything you said you'd do

You did it, Couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it"

Hmm something don't add up

"Nigga, you ain't live it

you witnessed it from your folks pad

You scribbled in your notepad and created your life"

nas the homie and all but how you gon say the realness dead but then cash in on collabing with plastic artists like he has done in the past 2 to 3 years. hip hop lost realness but you collabing with nikki coonaj. all he had to do was smash and keep it moving. he ain't have to spit his bars and cash in if the "realness" is what hes repping.

he aint wrong

Can't say I disagree

 

[qawshun]

The game is flooded with bs. Glad I got a filter

 

[Ranxx]

Nas is right, the essence has been lost. This is big business now. It used to be about the people & the music, movin the crowd. Now the shit just narcissistic attention seeking. The fire's gone out.

He goes on to add that "the realness" of Hip Hop is dead.

My thoughts exactly the first time I heard 'I Am...' and 'Nastradamus'...

 

[Cabana_Da_Don]

There´s some good shit out there the problem is that human beings aint as dumb as couple years ago now we want some quality music.

 

[StillFaggyAF]

At the same time he out making records with Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj

and just last year he was saying he's happy with hip hop and thats its not dead

make up your mind

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

He did say it was cool for Gwyneth Paltrow to say the n word didn't he? Smh come on bruh

 

[south4life]

I agree everybody coming in the game talking bout how much weight they pushed and the way they talk, u would think they were Big Time Pushers, that's why I like Kendrick u don't hear him talking bout he was gang banger or a slinger; there is little to no uniqueness in Hip Hop.

[Ear2DaSt]

I hate when they ask him what's he listening to nowadays and he'll say some shit like Plies and Drake, Nas the goat but practice what you preach
