Hip Hop is Dead > Illmatic

[Excursions]

By far

[tappenzee]

no.

And I love Hip Hop Is Dead

[Buzzbomb]

Haven't heard hip hop is dead, but I highly doubt it's better than Illmatic.

[Liebensaft]

Is "Hip Hop is Dead" the name of another Nas album? I like Illmatic.

[Matt?]

ha ha ha

[faith and fiction]

You have awesome taste in punk and hardcore...but so far I can't support your taste in hip hop

[Henrik]

I just recently bought Illmatic to see what all the hype was about, and it really is good.
Dunno what Hiphop Is Dead is.

[Boilermaker]

No, you're wrong.

Just... wrong. :angry:

[coheneran]

I should probably listen to Nas, because right now every time somebody tries to say one hip-hop song/album/artist is better than another, I have this running through my head:

Obnoxious mother****er, can't you tell?
Running through Little Havana yelling "Viva Fidel!"

EDIT: Also

"God sent me to strike
With skills unused
Like fallopian tubes
In a dyke"

[Eliminator]

Hip-Hop is Dead is good.

[IgniteYourAvail]

Illmatic's not even that good there's way better hip hop albums.

[Flagjacket]

I'm inclined to agree, although it doesn't really matter much to me anyway, as neither of these albums is that great in the first place.

[cbmartinez]

Wow, that is the most ridiculous, faulty statement I have ever heard.

Illmatic is one of the best hip hop albums ever, Hip Hop Is Dead is pretty mediocre.

[Flagjacket]

Illmatic really isn't that great.

[faith and fiction]

Illmatic's not even that good there's way better hip hop albums.Shut up you ****ing mook

[AIRIC]

You're a ****ing faggot.

Hip Hop is dead has nothing on Illmatic.

[Flagjacket]

I honestly don't get why everyone loves it so much...

[faith and fiction]

Sorry but hip hop isn't punk

Good **** get's recognized as being good regardless of how many people jock it

[coheneran]

Hahahahaha. Punk got pwnd.

And that apostrophe kills dude, get rid of it.

[Flagjacket]

I know that, but I still think that Illmatic is boring.

[AIRIC]

Okay well basically you're wrong Kevin.

[Henrik]

Haha good point.

[lynch_me]

Typical kevin remark.

[Flagjacket]

Lynchme you're my least favorite dad.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

Illmatic>Stillmatic>HHID

[Excursions]

Illmatic just seems so boring. Hip Hop Is Dead has better beats and samples. The only good thing about Illmatic is the production.

[Times Ten]

Wow. That is such a bold statement...

Hip Hop is Dead is pretty solid, but Illmatic is without a doubt one of the best rap albums ever.

[cbmartinez]

Illmatic just seems so boring. Hip Hop Is Dead has better beats and samples. The only good thing about Illmatic is the production.

The beats on HHID are way too glossy and are too much like everything else on the radio today. The beats on Illmatic have that gritty, old school New York sound, with the piano, bass and drums. And as for the lyrics and flow, the two albums are incomparable. Nas' flow on Illmatic is just ridiculous. HHID, not so much.

[Excursions]

Illmatic is just a lousy album, and I like New York hip hop. Any of the first 4 Public Enemy albums are better than it.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Illmatic is better than Hip Hop Is Dead because Nas sucks at making big statements and also he's not as talented as he used to be.

[beso negro]

hip hop is dead is a boring album

illmatic had a true ghetto feel to it. plus a trumpet solo from his dad.

[Ghostfire3]

Hip Hop Is Dead is to Hip Hop as Punks Not Dead is to Punk.

[AIRIC]

I can't believe anyone would even make that statement.

[TakeWarning]

I listened to Illmatic for the first time last night. It was OK.

[Ghostfire3]

I can't believe anyone would even make that statement.

:lol: Ha ha ha, don't worry I wasn't being serious.

[AIRIC]

Hahah I was talking about Adam. I would have to agree with your post completely.

[calipunkerz]

Illmatic is my favorite of all time, havent heard all of HHID yet.

[Henrik]

My favorite Illmatic song so far is Life's a Bitch

[RedMorningLight]

Nah, I just can't agree with that.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

this thread is all full of stupid

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Any of the first 4 Public Enemy albums are better than it.
If you had said It Takes A Nation of Millions... or Fear of A Black Planet, maybe, but Yo! Bum Rush The Show and Apocalypse '91? No way.

[Monticello]

It Takes A Nation Of Millions... kicks ***.
Those who are worried about the beats: it's not the beats that matter, it's the words coming out of his mouth, and the beats on Illmatic are perfect anyway. Not so sure about HHID.

[Flagjacket]

I listened to Illmatic on the bus this morning, and I actually like it more than I used to but people still give it way too much love.

[Geography]

it's not the beats that matter

Uh yeah they do

[40 oz 2 freedom]

You guys should stick to punk

[lynch_me]

You guys should stick to punk

Bring it on.

[Krabsworth]

Illmatic is just a lousy album, and I like New York hip hop. Any of the first 4 Public Enemy albums are better than it.

omg just die man

[Bukowski]

die for your opinions.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Bring it on.

Oh it has already been broughten

[faith and fiction]

Start wearing Jncos and listen to Necro

[Flagjacket]

Start wearing Jncos and listen to Necro

[Anti-Prefix]
