Nas - Hip Hop is Dead Cover

[DPG 4 Life]

Doesn't it just remind you a little too much of Too $hort's "Life is..." cover from 88? Although it's slightly different and updated it's hardly fresh in my eyes...

What the fuck you doing on here ?

 

[Rukas]

It looks a bit too photoshoped and thus cheap to me.

who gives a fuck what the cover is like. the cover could be plain black with nas in white for all i care. the music NEEDS to deliver. Im buying this for the Content on the CD not some gay cover.

.. And unfortunatly I doubt it will.

Nas' career follows patterns...

Illmatic = Stillmatic
It Was Written = God's Son
I Am... = Street's Disciple
Nastradamus = HipHop Is Dead

With that pattern of quality, HipHop Is Dead will be bloated and awful, but then the next album (probably after he gets dropped from Def Jam and once again beefs with Jay Z and gets fired up) will be a dope return to form like Stillmatic was.

I like your logic. BUT it just means

Jay-z album wack
Nas album wack
snoop album wack
2pac album wack.

All those big artist didnt deliver.

Clipse album is weak, so is many from 2006.

I liked Snoop's and have high hopes for the Clipse, the others I totally agree with.

I think if they darkened the colors it would look alot better and gloomier.

dope

After hearing Hip-Hop Is Dead, Shine On 'Em which I'm sure won't be on the actual album, QB Tru G's, Where Are They Now, Where Y'all At which again won't make the album.., I Already Know, Black Republicans etc.

I already know I'm gonna like this album regardless, bring it.

peace.

 

[Ras Masta]

This cover is better than any of the dirty south covers...

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I like it fits in with the concept of the album, it does look like what it is they coulda done better but still a nice cover.

 

[Confucius87]

damn, that shit is ridiculous:thumb:

 

[Kareem]

I like the cover also, and i have a few tracks off the album, very solid joint by Nas, Nas bringing knowledge to the game with this album, exactly whats needed right now, Listen closely to "Hip Hop Is Dead" word for word Nas speaking the truth. To those taking offense to what Nas is say'n (mainly down south cats) the truth hurts, if ya scared go to church!

 

[The.Menace]

nice.

 

[SiGh]

Would've liked it more if the rose was real.
