HIP HOP CULTURE HAS MANY FACES.


I think rap music came a long way. From Kangoo's to doo rags hip hop culture has many faces. I think what mostly influenced me is the whole New York vibe. I think rappers like Nas, N.o.r.e, Capone and Mobb Deep have made a great change to rap music.

What Tupac started as Thuglife New York rappers maintained it well. I think continuous progression in rap music comes from diversity of rappers. I think the above mentioned rappers have a common goal to get their raps through to the listeners. These above mentioned rappers contribute to the hip hop scene through making dope rap music.

I am waiting till another era start in the game of rap like those Queens rappers did. Something similar was going on in the early nineties with the West Coast rappers. They were dominating the hip hop scene and the charts. Check out this video about the glory of Queensbridge.

NAS ESCOBAR HIP HOP IS DEAD ALBUM REVIEW.


I think this also one of the NYC finest rappers. He is very visual with a pen. Somehow I think people were right that he was the next Rakim. I see lots of similarities. Such as the lyrical abilities.

On the album of Hip hop is dead are beat of the nostalgic quality. I think for a rapper from the nineties Nas is mastering the technique of rapping on 80's influenced beats well. I think this album is a classic. Queensbridge have brought many talented rappers to the hip hop scene. And Nas is one of them. He kicks the street stories well.

This album contains many dope beats. My favourite track on this album is 'Money over bullshit'. I think it is once again the verbal heavy calibre raps. Now that Nas and Jay-Z are cool we can expect no beef in rap. I think it is a good thing that they are friends.
