What would we do without AllHipHop.com’s wonderful YouTube clips? Rarely do you get to see artist interviews presented in such a straightforward manner, without such burdensome distractions like “context” or “editing.” Here, Nas discusses what went wrong with the New York hip-hop scene, claiming that it was killed by people wearing white T-shirts and making “microwave music.” You may also want to seek out the clip in which he notes that him and Jay-Z teaming up to release Nas’ new album is part of “God’s plan,” but be warned that his response feels like it’s six hours long.
