Who remembers how emotional the south got when Nas said HHID?

qtipp73

Them niggas was ready to start a rap civil war even though they knew more than half their rappers down there is well below average when it comes to lyrical skills.

I think that is Nas best quotable lol

Lab Baby

Do Nas bust his guns?

qtipp73

dont matter if he bust his guns. the way they was acting would have put carl thomas to shame. IM EMOTIONAL

Lou Cypher

I laughed. Then Young Jeezy going at nas then apologizing.

soufside.supastar

i agreed with andre 3000 when he said it years before nas's album..

& nas didnt say tha south killed hip hop. niqqaz jus got butthurt cos the south was really poppin then, they figured he was throwin rocks n hidin hands..

texasdaking88

Yes, yes I do remember this... I also remember nas pretty much retracting his statement like a bitch nd ever going as far as comparing soulja boy to himself..whatever the fuck that means

So many classic threads and quotes during that time. The best 1 was the video of the rap city host catching feelings

When has Nas ever backpedaled on his claim that hip hop is dieing?

Davey D called it way back in 1997.

"I hate to say it.. but hip hop is dead or its dying a slow and painful death. It's yet another art form that has been severely corrupted by the Big Willies of the world."

And he was right. The shiny suit era started the rapid downfall of hip-hop in my eyes and it's progressively gotten worse.

Shit has been downhill ever since with a few specks of glimmer here and there.

Shit didn't bother me, and I pretty much said it myself it was dead or dying. I always thought that Master P, 3-6 Mafia, Cash Money were that outlet for retarded/wack rap.

Seeing as the album sold 350k+ in it's first week i'm sure there were people talking about it.

unspoken_respect

All the artist that I like were making music and still are including Nas, so I never understood how it was dead. Shit was funny how people were getting mad though.

icecoldstew

What's worse then a few rappers catching feelings over Nas's album title?

Rappers from NY who bite the souths style

Don't know, i'm not the type to take blocc surveys. I usually figure out the quality of an album by myself. couldn't give a fuck less about the next person's opinion on it.
