Hip-hop Ain't Died Because Of The South,

Nas

Hip-hop ain't died because of the south, that's retarded. when i named the album originally, i thought i bit off more than i could chew but you'd be an idiot to think i'm talking about how the south killed hip-hop or how new york isn't where it should be or where it once was. it was like, "damn, i need to explain this?" but i thought, "nah, the proof is right there. we should know what it is." i expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. i want them to be where i'm at or beyond where i'm at.
