Replying to Nas... hip hop is dead.

ya.. and nas helped kill it.
When will people realize this guy made one good album when he was a teenager, and then has been mediocre at best since.
How can you bounce back and forth from underground bring back rap from the grimy streets, to big willy over and over?
He''s had like 7 good songs the last ten years, sold out to def jam, and then comes out with this slpppy effort. Nothing origional, nothing scandelous.
just the same old... you can even interchange this with Jay hovas new one. I mean they both talk the same game, but whos stealing from whom?
Its not like its a bad album... its ok, theres a few listenable tracks on it. I like him best when hes telling stories and making it happen. he does that a bit. But man, i got bored. Its just so generic.
I tried to like this album, i was even going to buy it cause i figure... its nas... its gotta be aight. But i stole that shit, and then i gave it back. Oh and the production is so 2005, which was so 2004 etc etc... so really, this is just "I am" with new art work. (kinda like stillmatic and gods son were)
Im still a nas fan, But when i cheer for him, Im back in Jr. High, and he just dropped for the first time. thats how hell stay to me.
shitty isnt it?
