ༀ Nas and Cornel West on Death and Rebirth



My favorite rapper and my favorite intellectual talk about death and rebirth in black culture. Nas talks about his album “Hip Hop is Dead” with Dr. Cornel West on MTV2 (February 2009).

I think Dr. West has more in common with Nas than with Jay-Z. For me, Nas is the best lyricist alive. Like Dr. West, he has a deep understanding of language as political agency. Like Nas, Dr. West makes discourse a musical art form through masterful eloquence, candence, and syncopation.

When someone writes an paragraph he/she keeps the idea of a user in his/her
brain that how a user can be aware of it. Therefore that's why this post is great. Thanks!

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious
if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or
anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

I hardly comment, however i did some searching and wound up
here "ༀ Nas and Cornel West on Death and Rebirth".
And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it seem like a few of the responses come across like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I'd like to follow everything new
you have to post. Would you list of all of your communal pages like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
