Jack O asked: Nas Was Right
By Big Jack
You should know who Nas is if you listen to hip hop or rap
New York State of Mind was his song, that song slap
All the rappers now are the same, was what he said
At first I didn’t get what he meant, but I was just being dumb
After hearing some classic songs, I saw what Hip Hop has become
I listened to Naught By Natures classic song Hip Hop Hooray
And its in a totally different league then whats on the radio today
NWO’s songs are on different level than guys like Lil Wayne
And you cant compare The Geto Boyz to artists like T-Pain
Listen to 80 or 90s classics, then listen to todays popular crap
I’m In Love Wit A Stripper doesnt hold a candle to classic Rap
I could play Big Poppa on repeat for hours while Im just layin in bed
But if I hear Lollipop just 2 or 3 tmes I wanna put a bullet in my head
Songs need to start well, an theres been some good starts in the past
Like when Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta begins 2 blast
Ice Cubes Gansta Rap Made Me Do It is more than just a song
It has a message and it was about something he felt was wrong
2Pac had a song to his mom, those lyrics came from the heart
2pacs songs all have great lryics cuz hes a rapper whose smart
Flo Rida is a pretty big star in the music world right now
People thought Shawty Got Low was good, i dont see how
Songs that are popular today, dance songs with no point to them
They aint got no meaning, like the song for his daughter by Eminem
Luniz made I Got 5 On It back in 95 and its popular still today
WIll kids still be doing the Soulja Boy in 15 years, no way!
Classics from back in the day will never stop getting played
But popular songs nowadays go away soon as a new songs made
Then when a big new song comes out, the radio plays it non stop
I swear if I hear “Boots wit the fur” one more time my heads gonna pop
People used to only have radios, and a good song was always on
Thats when new Hip Hop made u wanna dance, and not wanna yawn
I wish the radio played classic HipHop and not songs by Chris Brown
If Tupoc saw how bad Hip Hops gotten he would prolly frown
If only this was a time where HipHop culture was stil going strong
A time where the legendary 2pac and Biggie Smalls aint gone
Where future classic songs are the popular songs from today
But HipHop, 2pac, an Biggie are dead, and todays songs are gay
Hopefully in the future Hip Hop will rise from outta the graves
Hopefully someday real HipHop will be playd on the radio waves
This era of HipHop has been bad, an Im sorry this has 2 be said
But I have got to agree with what Nas said, cuz Hip Hop is dead
Well thats it. What do you think?
