Although Nas is expected to land atop the charts next week, the rapper isn't overly concerned with the sales of Hip-Hop Is Dead, his new album... "I just like to hear that people are liking it and I don't [need] to know what [the sales numbers] are. I don't care," the rapper told AllHipHop.com after leaving a promotional date on MTV's TRL video countdown show. After its release on Tuesday, the album is expected to push between 300,000 to 325,000, according to industry staple Hits Magazine. The music industry trade site is also expecting Hip-Hop Is Dead to debut at the top of the Billboard Top 200 Albums charts. Nas' Def Jam label mate Young Jeezy, whose new album The Inspiration debuted at No. 1 this week, apparently didn't agree with Nas' assertion that Hip-Hop has met its demise. After an interview with rapper-turned-radio host Monie Love, he let his views known. "It's a new day and time. A lot of [new] cats feel touchy about the situation, because this is how they eat," Jeezy said to Monie Love on on Philadelphia's WPHI-FM 100.3. "As far as what [Nas] is saying [Hip-Hop is dead] - he's trippin. It's a new story. It's a new movement. I cannot say that [Hip-Hop is dead].'" Despite the tension, all is well between two Hip-Hop giants after they recently spoke. "He called me. And it was just man to man. It is what it is. He lost his cool and I've done it before and we've got that right. But, its all about how you reconcile that and how quickly you do it. I respect that he called me," Nas said. Critics have been polarized about whether Hip-Hop truly needs a funeral, but Nas simply wants the dialogue to be positive and productive. "The topic was meant for rappers to respond in all kinds of ways so this is what we all need," he concluded. Hip-Hop Is Dead is in stores now. |

I agree 100%. Jeezy is a CB4 gangsta and a dumb ass who grew up wishing he was the snowman on the Campbell Soup commercials. What a waste of beats and plastic.

Jeezy is coming up big also, I wouldn't say he's a waste even tho most of the time I hate his lyrics. He gets sales from all gangstas, wanna-be gangstas, wankstas, clubs, and any street nikka in the south if not US. |
