Unlike its predecessor STREET'S DISCIPLE, HIP HOP IS DEAD harkens back to Nas' commercial pop-crossover albums as well as the poetic glory days of ILLMATIC. The New York hip-hop legend returns to the thoughtful, introspective philosophy that turned heads early in his recording career (with a little help from rap legend Rakim, the ever rambunctious Busta Rhymes, and former foe Jay-Z). Indeed there are some attempts at fancy, hook-laden production (thanks to Pharrell, Kelis and a newly invigorated Michael Jackson)--but most of the tracks go out of their way to be workaday, subservient frameworks to the lyrics. Sampling records (Louis Armstrong's "The Skokiaan", The Doors "Hello I Love You") that have never been used by other rappers, Nas makes it clear that his focus here is not only on the message but also on the sound. Lyrically, Nas addresses weighty topics as mortality, true love, religion, politics, family, personal responsibility and, of course, the currently ??€?deceased??€? state of hip-hop. Those themes might seem far from the thug-life reveries of many of his contemporaries, but for Nas it's business as usual. Ironically the record proves that rap music is far from dead.

Tre' sa faca omul si bani, si sincer nu-l condamn... e normal ca odata si-odata tot sa te oftici ca fac oameni mai putin talentati decat tine bani cu carul, si sa te-apuci sa faci si muzica care se vinde mai bine. Dar atata timp cat o sa existe si track-uri tari, care ar putea ramane in istorie, e ok... Toata admiratia pentru cei care fac muzica "nu pentru notorietate ci pentru arta", dar ii inteleg pe cei care vor sa faca si un ban.
