"Hip-Hop Is NOT Dead

Alle hiphop-bloggeres nye (relativt unge) favoritt skribent, RD, forteller om Nas albumet her. (Fra listening partyet (i mangel på et bedre ord) som han klarte å lure seg inn på for et par dager siden). Ser til og med ut som Star Gate har klart å snike seg inn på en låt, se tracklisten lenger ned.

"Hip-Hop Is NOT Dead;

Hip-Hop Is Dead finds Nas flirting with greatness, and if not capturing it, more impressively, embodying it. This is as precise as greatness renders itself over the span of 12 or so tracks."
