Nas recently performed in the ATL
Check out what Nas told the NYPost regarding his wake-up call to all hip hop fans:
"If we don't change our music, we're gonna disappear," he says. "Rap is in a very vulnerable state, I'm not the only person who knows that. There's no excuse anymore - we must move forward. How long are rappers going to talk about smoking blunts, getting drunk and driving fancy cars?" "I'm just sitting back and enjoying this. I knew people would be upset over the title, and I'm glad," Nas says. "Some rappers are cursing me, but there are a lot who are applauding me silently." "There are so many artists that don't respect hip-hop. They don't know its roots," he says, refusing to name anyone specifically. "They're just in it to make money. Once they go platinum, they're like, 'Screw everyone.' They don't even take the time to learn about its pioneers."
