Money Over Bullshyt is one of Nas hardest songs imo....HHID was a very good album that doesn’t get its due.
Birdman Says Nas “Hip Hop Is Dead” Inspired Him
- Thread starter Stick Up Kid
- Start date
Nas is the goat but the album was borderline trash. Kelis dropped an awful hook, bland ass beats for the most part, and Nas seemed in cruise control for most of it too.
MOB, Still Dreamin, Blunt Ashes, Let There be Light and even though people hated it, Hold Down The Block were all pretty dope but damn, a lot of underwhelming shyt on that one.

For a quiet nikka, Nas has a way of getting under people’s skin.

not a good choice for a first single but I think it was original and done well. Not too many people will flip the same sample and use it on the next album.

album got alot of love when it dropped. so i dunno if id say its underrated. i bought it day one. always thought it was a great project. seemed like def jam really opened the budget for him.
the title kinda lit some east v south tension. even though that wasnt his intention its what alot of people ran w/ at the time.

Nas is the only rapper where every song has to be dope for the album to be considered good or classic

Confuse 1996 & 2006 brehs
I think the thing with Nas is that when he misses he really really misses, lol, so it stands out more. Like he'll give you 2-3 dope joints on the album straight, then the next song is some garbage...usually production wise, sometimes just direction wise, and it stands out more than the 3 good joints you just heard.
HHID is just overall weak to me, I like maybe half of them joints, maybe half. I feel the same about "I Am", at least the version that was released commercially, jawn was like a C- at best.
A joint that was good that doesn't get that much credit is "Untitled" though, really enjoy that. HHID isn't underrated at all imo. Regardless, he's still the best ever,
I loved the album 
sure the who killed it concept track was corny and the joint with snoop gets no no spins but the rest of the album was great to me

HHID, Streets Disciple and Nastradamus to me are his only mediocre to weak albums.

Really out chea
It had nothing to do with that actual music on the album. That "hip-hop is dead" statement was taken by many Southern artists as a shot at them since the South was running hip-hop.
It's like if Joe Namath or Troy Aikman said "Quarterbacking is dead." The current QBs would take offense.
That's why people like Ludacris and Lil Wayne were wearing shirts that said "Hip-Hop Lives In The South."
They took it as a challenge and aimed to prove it wrong by putting up numbers and spittin.
NY artists were basically dissing the South like here.
It inspired things like this legendary performance with him wearing a "I Am Hip-Hop" shirt on the screen.
SO MUCH fukkERY WAS GOINGON DURING THIS ERA.
JEEZY WAS SO INCORRECT ON SO MANY LEVELS.
Same here...even though I preferred "Street's Disciple" over "I Am", I give I Am a pass because of how edited and switched around the commercial version was. "Street's Disciple" would have been fire if it wasn't a double
