NaS Vs. NYOIL

Nas

I could care less what he calls his album.
I'm still going to listen to it.
It's still gonna be at least half-dope
it's still NOT gonna be Illmatic so everyone's going to grumble about it
and he's still going to be thought-provoking and brooding and contradictory and weird
and then, every now and then, drop little glimmers of brilliance.

Bringing Back That Ol' New York Rap

This is not a new BLOG. This is a BLOG that has been going on in my head for the last fifteen years and only now is technology catching up with me.


Hip Hop is dead. And I don't want to hear anyone saying it's still alive like ya'll ain't in agreement with Nas (He said It's dead mothefucker!) That being said:

1.This is not retro. I reserve the right to post old music, new music, or any music I may have glimpsed in my dreamlike travels to the future.

2. "New York Rap" represents to me Hip Hop as I fell in love with it. To "bring it back" evokes the spirit of an earlier time - but is not defined by geography. I reserve the right to post music from any place in the world.

3. I don't even have to post hip hop songs if I don't feel like it. This is my BLOG. Not yours. Chill.

4. There are still people making dope music. Right Now. I will try to find them and post their music.
