Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead Lyrics
[DJ samples]
"Hip hop" "hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip--hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip hop" "hip hop"
[Hook - 2X]
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left
So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def
So nigga, who's your top ten?
Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?
[Hook - 2X]
[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
[Verse 2]
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin'
What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
Criticize that, why is that?
Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
Cuz we love to talk on ass we gettin'
Most intellectuals will only half listen
So you can't blame jazz musicians
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
Oh I they like me--in my white tee
You can't ice me, we here for life B
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey
And for that we not takin' it lightly
If hip hop should die we die together
Bodies in the morgue lie together
All together now
[Hook - 2X]
[sample]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
[crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat]
[Verse 3]
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
If it got where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
Hip hopper since a toddler
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
Went from turntables to mp3s
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
From gold cables to Jacobs
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up
And they came to show love
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut

Nas Hip Hop Is Dead Comments
HiP hOP iS DeAD!!!!!!
Dick head censored.
With trash on the Billboards 100 these days this song speaks volumes!
♥️🌬️🥀⚰️🎶🎶🎙️🎶🎶🥇🎤Drop....🌬️RESURRECT IT!!!☀️
Nas is a boomer
I guess that one day his daughter or his son will write a song titled "hip hop is dad"
-------------------------------------
This shit is Wack a f ,nas is dead but hip hop
Rip david sterin...
Just admit it people.
New York & California Hip-Hop is both dead. Atlanta has been running it lately.
Lil Pump ,Lil' Yatchy, Migos, 6ix 9ine, Young Thug, etc killed it
Liked so much the times when breakbeats were of frequent use on Hip Hop.
worst music by far that i've heard through my yrs. - hip hop. feel sorry for this gen.
嵩勲じゃなくて出てこい裂固UZIさんのかわりに俺からウェイヨー
Nas was very accurate at this point in time. Gangsta rap which dominated the pinnacle/peak era of hiphop in the 90s at this point was OVER. 3 years after Get Rich or Die Tryin and before Kanye was truly at his prime, hiphop was stuck with subpar artists and one hit wonders like Petey Pablo and Dem Franchise Boyz even Jeezy you could argue. Just shitty lyrical artists which predicted the future of hiphop more based around production and not lyrics.
It had a resurgence again when Jay Z/Kanye/Rihanna dominated and then completely transitioned into trap music and into melodic hiphop that dominates now in a post 808 & Heartbreaks landscape. There are some exceptions in there like Kendrick, Cole etc. but they are definitely not gangsta rap just more about lyricism which is still the exception today.
I was just gonna say this song was released too early.
Who celebrates those dumbasses rappers like six nine, cardi b, lil uzi, lil xan and the other trash
Why can't they just make hip hop again ???
WTF:: !! F*#K Censor$hIp .Art shouldn't be censored. THX 2 wallbreaker2
Is it MC Bleep or is it MC Bleep? KRS Bleep, Bleep DMC, Salt n' Bleepa, LL Bleep J, and so bleep
I think the tune is copied from the song by IRON BUTERFLY named Inna da gadda da vinci, somthing like that. It's a 1968 song i think
Censorship killed hip hop also.
why was this censored for the original album though? He completely changed the song around for an otherwise explicit album because....?
Thiefs Theme or Hip Hop Is Dead?
Why the fuck does Nas official have a censored version up?? Dislike!
Know what can I say that everybody thinks new hip hop but this fool is right
Original guitar organ and bass track is from Iron Butterfly - In a gadda da vida
https://youtu.be/_xnNJaC_9Uc made in Brazil
I find it weird that this is featuring wil I am when him and his pop hop crew is part of the culture that killed hip hop.
Nas ruffled some feathers with this one! Long Live real hip hop!
**** vevo
Hip Hop won. It is better than rap.
The beat is dope
EXTENDED
C L I P. 🍌
Now it is totally dead (2019)
karkosik sztywny !!
They bleeped out words that weren't even swere words.
Well 2019 and mumble rappers killed the game
If I could make one wish, just one... I'd wish the end of this mumble rap cancer that's overtaken Nas' type of hip hop today.
Alguém em Outubro de 2019
there saw a debate of people saying rick ross is better than the game.... then I suddenly remember nas said hip hop is dead
🔥🔥🔥like indoor!!!
hip hop is dead tight pants with rainbow hair rules blehhh 🤦♂️😢
"In my white tee"
*flashes black tee
*no thumbs up as expected.
こんなかっこいい曲作ってくれてありがとう
アウソ対ニガリから来た人
Sad thing is. It is. Because of the music today. Rap isn't rap anymore, cause to the generation that I grew up in (its the 2000s) I didn't rlly hear that much hip hop. Rappers these days rely on money, females, cars, drugs and other crazy things. Rap stands for rhymes and poems. So it's not really rap. But at least they creative. I give props to them for being creative with the beats. And no I'm not a old head. Just say rap died out. Use to exist. Is still good but not alive.
It's still true today.
It's not Hip Hop that's dead. It's Rap that's dead.
El sample de In a Gadda Da Vida me flipa
Nasかっけぇ
AS A FAN OF: KANE, MOE DEE, NAS, KRS, PAC, NAS, LL, PE, DE LA, RAKIM, BIG, QUEST, G RAP, CUBE, FINESSE, WU, SNOOP, GURU, SCHOOLLY, REN, RUN DMC, SADAT

어후 형님들 ..
It isn't dead it's dying a slow death from what's out their today 😔
It's dead kid
Mumble rap killed it
There must be an available music video free from censorship on this monolith
If you worship what is backwards,why wouldn't hip hop be dead !
Hard stuff
Now Hip Hop its so alive
In a gada na vida baby!
Nas had his name on his black jacket
This is my fave nas song!
This song samples Iron butterfly - inna-gadda-di-vida.
先行 お前らほんとに不甲斐ねぇよ
軋むベッドでhip hop is dead
trap music killed hip hop
Nah it didn't, considering we got ta13oo, one of the best hip hop albums of all time, and it's trap
This is hip hop at it's finest and I wish artist right now sounded this good but I know they won't. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.
hip hop didn't die lol you just don't know where to look for good rappers
@elhussein
Tell your (good rappers) I said y'all are corny
@P moe A dee C I'm gonna put hip hop artists in general of today (I might include some old artists but they made albums in the 2010s so they count)
Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Danny Brown, Death Grips, Tyler the Creator, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, A Tribe Called Quest, Kids See Ghosts, Run the Jewels, Pusha T, Brockhampton, Earl Sweatshirt, Lil Ugly Mane, Denzel Curry
These are just the ones that made classic albums, there are a lot more
This song more prevalent than ever currently
If you truly know the lyrics, the censorship doesn't bother you.
mucho mejor la version real original hace 10 años!
What is the point of posting this song if you are going to censor the hell out of it????
When Nas said hip hop is dead it died fr 😢
Hip Hop definitely is Dead as of 2019!!! Nas saw it coming & dropped this awesome track
hip hop definitely isn't dead considering we got Bandana and Igor if you count it as hip hop
