hip hop is underground now it's alive an well you just have to look for it. Hip hop goes anywhere Still in the states and overseas we all know what true Hip Hop is. Stand up for real hip hop like this guy.
Thought about this song right before bed but forgot the name so now it’s midnight and here I am! I gotta say both the UK and USA were at better times back then in 09’.. the good ole days
Lowkey is a great MC, but hip hop ain't dead in the U.S you just have to look for it in the underground. Hip Hop shes chilling with the underground now. Where she came from!
@TheWorldItsMine what have you heard? if its n-dubz, chipmunk, tincky stryder, tinie tempah etc then ill agree with you but like most places the underground stuff in UK is very good.
D Gohan @doncuomo. READ THE ABOVE COMMENTS. HIS MUSIC AIN'T ABOUT WHO'S BETTER ITS A MESSAGE, A WAKE UP CALL IF YOU WILL. SAYING WE ALL NEED TO WAKE UP AND SEE THE REPRESSION WE ARE UNDER.
if your saying i am then don't. i don't compare people where all humans. and for the record, NAS sold out. If you don't believe me do your own research.
@BigBoyKaveman Brother Ali, Celph Titled (new album is dope even though i didn't always like him in the past as much as some and thought he was only decent), Common, Half of Wu, Masta Ace/Kool G Rap (2 legends from the mid/late 80s STILL KILLING IT), Vinnie Paz (not as good as he used to be in early 2000s & sure Stoupe was the best part of the group, but still nice multis, if repetitive), Immortal Tech (liked him MUCH more in early to mid 2000s), Juice, Percee-P, CunninLynguists. U NEED MORE?
@boda1234567 Not all just the shit on the radio real hiphop is here in the states you just have to look for it it's alive and well. Hip hop lives in the underground.
@yesitsvetz theres more than a few. theres people who dont have record labels or contracts or anything that are amazing (A-1 for example). and id rather listen to those few then have none at all.
@TowableCrab, true, in sweden we have some that are quite good in english aswell but most of the better ones are in swedish. yea Lowkey is legendary, but UK overall... idk u dont have much quality, atleast not if i go by the stuff i've heard.
@2010MissCooper i love the old JMT albums they are untouchable...i recently been listening to some mixes by this guy from norway called thomax - Black snow (ill bill feat. Apathy) check it out : )
@TowableCrab iron maiden didnt make 'in a gadda da vida'? Iron Butterfly did.. hip-hops immigration would be to: France, Scandinavia and Germany.. not UK. sorry lowkey and folks u can have ur grime
@MrSniperscope what u talkin bout he is the best in da world. u give him a suckish beat he'll turn it to a platinum these kinda of rappers are rare dese days he is better then those who sold their soul just for fame
@TheSaintAza thats why u dont listen to the radio. and ur saying theres no wack rappers in the uk or anyplace else? thats why u listen to underground so u dont needa hear the bad american rap
@scalum82 no he aint...what made you think that?jus kuz he dont rap about iraq and afg?the guy raps about black ppl around the world those suffering etc.have you ever heard his music?it aint mainstream...if it was it would sell..lowkey seems to mention nas alot in his traks..why?i dont know...
@BigBoyKaveman hip hop aint dead in america...im from london and can tell u that real hip hop is still alive out there...ur not keeping up to date with all the snowgoons, Army of the pharoahs, jedi mind tricks, sabac red, chief kamachi....check it out
it aint underground either,its hidden if you really love hip hop you will find it just look HARD immortal technique, lowkey, klashnekoff, and mic righteuos is where i started, but if your not awake you wontlike it so beware and be aware
@BigBoyKaveman It ain't dead in america bro also hip hop aint dead you just not updated with jedi mind tricks immortal technique AOTP and so on. Hip hop aint dead it's commercially buried alive
@BigBoyKaveman thats maybe the most ignorant comment man. what about immortal technique, vinnie paz, apathy, chief kamachi, or anyone else like that? so theyre commercialized bullshit too? you just needa know who to listen to.
@BigBoyKaveman Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, Apathy, Shad (granted he's canada, but NORTH AMERICA @ least haha), Lupe (whose overrated & his newest album is wack, but @ his best he's solid @ least), Em (occassionally although admittedly he's nowhere NEAR his amazing 96/97-02/03 prime, but that's what happens when you nearly die twice from 2 overdoses & are out of the game for 4 straight years high on a ton of hard drugs & depressed from 2 divorces, best friend murdered), Jada, Fashawn, Slug,
@dreamshatterer09 army of the pharoahs and jedi mind tricks are sick rap groups but hes talking about the overall commercialization of hip hop has lost the meaning of rapping ... its not about the real world and its problems but about how how much money thee artists have ...
@TheRapDude1 if they didnt die do u think they would be considered the best? no they wouldnt. not saying there not good just saying that they arent the best.
@BigBoyKaveman hip-hop isn't dead in america, you can't count the genius rappers continuing to make underground masterpieces out there (COUGH Aesop Rock, DOOM, Mos Def, Brother Ali, Sage Francis, El-P, Vast Aire, Talib Kweli, Del The Funky Homosapien.........) while i think i know what you're trynna say, you can't say that the UK doesn't also have its fair share of commercial, tired & lame rappers diluting the scene... every country has its dire hip hop, it's dismissive to say otherwise, mate
@BigBoyKaveman there still is great hiphop from the states. you cant say "fuck american rap", you sound like you never listened to underground hiphop. the commersial rap is bullshit, yes, but there is alot of music that isnt commersial, that doing it for the art. hiphop aint dead. its just been treated wrong.
It's not a diss track at all you tool. Nas was making a statement about the culture at the time and how rappers aren't in control of the industry. Not that hip hop as a culture has somehow died.
hip hop is underground now it's alive an well you just have to look for it. Hip hop goes anywhere Still in the states and overseas we all know what true Hip Hop is. Stand up for real hip hop like this guy.
Thought about this song right before bed but forgot the name so now it’s midnight and here I am! I gotta say both the UK and USA were at better times back then in 09’.. the good ole days

Is he dissing Nas?
@BigBoyKaveman
there still is great hiphop from the states. you cant say "fuck american rap", you sound like you never listened to underground hiphop. the commersial rap is bullshit, yes, but there is alot of music that isnt commersial, that doing it for the art.
hiphop aint dead. its just been treated wrong.
dis sounds like a rock song lool
nas left out a word when he made hip hop is dead... he left out MAINSTREAM! MAINSTREAM hip hop is dead...
It's not a diss track at all you tool. Nas was making a statement about the culture at the time and how rappers aren't in control of the industry. Not that hip hop as a culture has somehow died.
Yeah cos NaS is saying it's dead, but he hasn't even bothered looking at the UK hip hop, so he can't say Hip Hops dead when it lives in the UK ;)
yz he hatin on even tho i like him lowkey seems to hate too much nas is the realist man wtf?
@MrDelaney1996 ugh, get a hearing aid & listen again
