Am I the only one who thinks Hip Hop Is Dead >>> Untitled

[King Biko]

i see HHID get put down on here and ive heard a couple nikkas say untitled is classic but i think HHID is vastly superior

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Untitled is up there as one of Nas' best albums (only definitively put it behind Illmatic, IWW, Lost Tapes and Stillmatic)...and HHID is one of his worst IMO

 

[HendriX]

Nah cant be..HHID was a good album but it sounded so disjointed.

Assassinations
Diplomatic relations
Killed indigenous people
Built a new nation
Involuntary labor
Took a knife split a woman naval
Took her premature baby
Let her man see you rape her
If I could travel to the 1700's
I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite
Through your covenant
Love to sit in on the Senate
And tell the whole government
Y'all don't treat women fair
She read about herself in the bible
Believing she the reason sin is here
You played her, with an apron
Like, "Bring me my dinner, dear."
She the ****** here
Ain't we in the free world?
Death penalty in Texas kill young boys and girls
Barbarity, I'm in the double-R casualty
Bugging how I made it out the hood, dazzle me
How far we really from third world savagery
When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that'll be

 

[MMM]

[King Biko]

Nah cant be..HHID was a good album but it sounded so disjointed.

thats how i feel about untitled

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Hip hop is dead was about as average as an album nas couldve made. Bland production killed it for me. Untitled was deeper and lyrically superior. But both r underwhelming overall imo.

 

[chuckifubuck]

hhid might be my least favorite nas album, so few redeeming qualities

 

[Stone]

Only redeeming quality of this one was the fact that Still Dreaming is one of his best tracks ever. Everything else isn't up to par.

HHID >>> Untitled


I agree

 

[KiD WavE]

I feel like Life Is Good is what HHID should have been they have a similar feel to me but LiG is way way better honestly I rank HHID really low I dont think untitled is classic or anything but its better than HHID

my fav HHID track






First thing that happen when you make a little paper
You think the Marriot is livin' in a skyscraper
Till you come across some ever more flyer paper
Realize that five-star 'tellies are even greater
Terry-cloth robes, elegance, movie shyt
Heated-up marble floors with jacuzzis in it
First-class flights, diamonds in your crucifixes
All those things you still ain't really doin' shyt kid
Cause in reality I'll earn my salary
The way I flaunted it then would now embarrass me
It kinda make me wanna hate bling it's a race thing
How they sell blacks to bootleg shyt infact
Real millionaires spend 60 mil on paintings
Whores charge nikkaz with raping
