Arguments that hip-hop is dead have been circulating for years. But is it really dead or are we approaching a new ‘golden age’?
Nas will provide the answer this September when he releases his latest album, Hip-hop is dead… The N.
Nas spoke backstage at the Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, where he announced the title of the album. “I didn't name it that. Fans named it that; rappers named it that," he clarified. "It's been the talk for years, so here's an album that brings ... not even the rebirth, it's just an album with that thing that everybody is talking about. I got a street look coming real soon, and more soon after. Summer time is definitely going to be Nas time."
Nas also added that “The N” is a play on “the end”.
Apart from this info, Nas remained tight lipped on his forthcoming debut for Def Jam, which can be expected September 2006.
