Hip-Hop Is Dead

What Wikipedia Says:

  • Hip-Hop Is Dead is a studio album by American rapper and hip hop artist Nas, released December 19, 2006.

What Rappers Really Mean:

  • My favorite music genre has been misappropriated for carousing, debauchery, lasciviousness and violent activity.

    I like “THE HATER’S” answer better…

    do you think its biased to only have Soul Brother be your rapper of choice for this section? A Gospel/Inpsirational Rapper/Lyricist speaking on behalf of Rappers on every topic leaves me to scratch my head…Is this really “what rappers mean” or “what a rapper means”?

    I don’t see much of a difference between The Hater’s definition and Soulbrotha’s.

    @cathrynmarie: WRRM is all in good fun and taste. It’s not meant to be an end-all, be-all definition for everything rappers say rather its meant to poke fun at intended meanings and final outcomes of these things we say. ‘Cos a lot of times us rappers say these things for entertainment purposes not because we really think/feel its exactly as rapped or stated. My qualifications as a ‘Gospel/Inpsirational Rapper/Lyricist’ don’t prevent me from being able to speak on these things imo.
