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

[MrCrookedLetter]

The highest selling and most high praised artists are the "realist" that we have in a minute, so I don't really understand his point

@stackzmobundlez Real nigga!

 

[sr_the_freshman]

The IC reactions to this shit will be hilarious. Nas is right though, obviously.

 

[ineedpussy]

I mean, What does "realness" even mean. Its entertainment. Some still tie in references to real sht tho. Its the same ole thing we get it sht is movin on regardless.

Nas my nig, but I still wish he would kick the more positive side of the message saying ' Hip Hop is still alive' (regardless of how popular it is to over-commercialize it)

[A1000MILES]

Yo...I really don't wanna have a part jn this thread, but I know I will...Fuck it...

 

[rip.dilla]

It don't get no "realer" than releasing an album titled N. I. G. G. E. R on a major record label . .. And not standing down on the album title change (its still Untitled)

 

[StoneColdMikey]

He sort of right cuz it is a lot of rappers that are fake but it's more rappers that are authentic IMO in 2013

 

[Meta_Conscious]

Terrible interview

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Maybe hiphop wouldn't suck if this nigga would put out better albums ... Instead of dropping shit like "life is wood"

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

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.
