HHID is nothing to shout about. It's alright. There were way better rap albums than that out last year. Hell, even Streets Disciple and Stillmatic weren't particularly good. If you're looking for Nas' better works (other than his obvious best, Illmatic), then look no further than God;s Son (2004) and even his sophomore effort It Was Written (1996). I can only imagine that if you like his mediocre stuff so much, you'll love his good stuff.

well i like Stllmatic, i dont really like/listen to Streets disciple!:pimp:

Oh? I thought you said it was class!

Yeah, i said theyre class by accident

i dont listen to much rap, but hip hop is dead is proably one of the best rap cd's i have heard in a whyle, sence well it died.

who killed it is the best track in my opinion on that cd

I have all the Nas album and when comparing to his early works..Hip Hop Is dead is kinda of a letdown...maybe I was too excited but it did not live up to the hype...Ah well it still is one of the better albums that were released in 2006-present. Illmatic is the SH*T though!!!

I think Hip Hop is dead has some great tracks but not enough to call it a great album. About 3 or 4, I would listen thru it.

Yeah, i think it is a real nice album..Let there be light/carry on tradition/not going back/who killed it/blunt ashes are all really good tracks..

well if u dont have Illmatic yet, you need that album, thats his best work. hip hop is dead is decent, but not something that youll play verry often.
Illmatic and even stillmatic are ones that youll play over and over

yeah its def. a good album, and if youre a nas fan then its def. worth getting...i dont think hell ever match illmatic...but that can be said about any great rappers first album.....its always hard to match the first

Peace
