Hip Hop is Dead. But Rap is Alive. By now we have all marinated on the new Nasir.
My favorite song is the new single Can't Forget About You.
When I first heard it, I gasped and said, this fool done mixed the Boom Bap w/ Nat King Cole. This album is Nas's love letter to black music. "Tell me you don't agree w/ me that HH is DEAD".
WHAT! I don't like that song w/ the Game. Its just sounds forced. Any black man that says, "I pray my daughter grows up and don't wile out like the Hilton sisters" is aii'ight in my book.
(remind me to tell you'all about my theory on black men with daughters and how they are different from ones who don't have them). Im tired of n*ggas complaining that Nas ain't freakin' Illmatic type jawns. Can he live?
Isn't Crisette Michelles voice sultry and good?
I would love to hear her over some Just Blaze jawns, some Jay D, some more Ye ye.
But back to n*ggas still wanting Illmatic, my pov, after Outkast dropped Idlewilde, was that ARTIST EVOLVE as do HUMANS.
GET OVER IT.
Roots ain't gonna be the same.
J ain't gonna be the same.
Sh*t my momma ain't gonna be the same.
Thats life. Accept it.

Everytime I visit the town, it never ceases to amaze me how many people ask if Im gonna move back.
Im like dude.
The food is hot. The land is blaze. But the hip hop night life.
Sh*t is janky.
Last night was confirmed for me when Bobitto played, at APT this SONG.
I HAVE HAD THIS F*CKING SONG IN MY HEAD ALL WEEK.
When he thru that sh*t on, I took my coat off and started grooving in the little a$$ APT walk way and two things came to mind.
Im a big a$$ed b-girl.
I can go home now because I heard a song that has been floating in my head all week.
This moment can only happen in NYC.

Speaking of the town.
I enjoyed my fam.
I got together w/ my brother and a COUPLE of his daughters and one of my high school homies.
We went to this spot called Arts Crab shack.
We had to pay for our food before it came to to the table.
I kid you not.
I took a picture of the menu to prove it.
L-o-f-ckin' L.

Oooh, I thought about this when I was out last night. The first club we went to had me dying laughing at the way we could turn any song into a New Orleans song...literally! They have a New Orleans version of "Ballin" or "We fly high" i forget the name.
and the dj at the second club wants to play slick rick, black sheep, wu when everybody was leaving.
well...there's always the roots and lupe in feb.
Humans change and evolve...
Thank you! Nas will never make another Illmatic. That shouldn't prevent people from appreciating what he has to offer over ten years later. I'm glad a few other people share that sentiment. Peace!

How they turn it into the NO style?
Thats hot.
@ Chris...
The bottom line is that most people are vouyers not movers and shakers and consequently, are very comfortable critisizing the next.
I say. Let Nas Live.
