Nas CD Tracklisting (Possibly Fake)

Rumor is that this is purely fugazi. That said, if it is, it's a pretty funny fake. Very much for the real headz: i.e. "A. Young, T. Mosely, C. Martin." LOL.http://thephoenixsspot.blogspot.com/2006/07/nas-album-hip-hop-is-dead-tracklist.htmlTitle: Hip Hop Is Dead...

The New York hip-hop legend returns to the thoughtful, introspective philosophy that turned heads early in his recording career (with a little help from rap legend Rakim, the ever rambunctious Busta Rhymes, and former foe Jay-Z). Indeed there are some attempts at fancy, hook-laden production (thanks to Pharrell, Kelis and a newly invigorated Michael Jackson)--but most of the tracks go out of their way to be workaday, subservient frameworks to the lyrics. Sampling records (Louis Armstrong's "The Skokiaan", The Doors "Hello I Love You") that have never been used by other rappers, Nas makes it clear that his focus here is not only on the message but also on the sound. Lyrically, Nas addresses weighty topics as mortality, true love, religion, politics, family, personal responsibility and, of course, the currently ???deceased??? state of hip-hop. Those themes might seem far from the thug-life reveries of many of his contemporaries, but for Nas it's business as usual. Ironically the record proves that rap music is far from dead.1. Intro - (N.
