The real hip hop is

Over here!

Now I cant really fault Nas for his Hip Hop is dead sentiment when I see and hear some of the stuff that passed for hi[p hop these days.

That said there is still an underground revolutionary movement fighting back against the machine trying to keep REAL hip hop alive. So to do my part I'm a present a couple of tracks that I think

Joell Ortiz spits that fire! Been listening to the Bodega Chronicles all day and Joell is nice with his. Solid mixtape/album all in all and one of the highlights is this track 125 grams.




"This is for those that don't know the half"

Another nice track is Nostalgia from Marco Polo featuring Masta Ace. Now Ace is one of my top 5 mcs of all time. I've been feeling him since Me and the Biz. Slaughterhouse, Sitting on Chrome, Disposable Arts, Long Hot Summer all classics in my book. Ace has successfully brought it with his one beat on beat style and while never making it big in the mainstream is one of the older hip hop stars who hasn't lost his skills and continues to put out solid work without sounding dated.




And last but not least.......

Classic! Spanning the next school and the new school Premier, Rakim, KRS-one, Nas and Kanye West.



After listening to these tracks how can we say hip hop is dead! Naa it may be on life support but its not dead yet.
