“’Long live hip-hop’ might as well be the subtitle of this sizzling manifesto from one of rap’s most compelling and challenging voices…as there are artists willing and able to produce work this vital, there’s no need to start making funeral arrangements.” – USA TODAY
“The impressive new album by the rapper Nas...is meant to inspire a reaction, and so far it has...some rappers have responded to the charge.The new CD ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead’ is partly a lament for what we have lost…But here’s the thing about Nas’ old fashioned approach to hip-hop: It still works. Especially when you’ve got a smoky voice, a knack for packing syllables into tight rhyme schemes and access to sturdy backbeats by Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, will.i.am and others. Fifteen years on, there’s still nothing like hearing Nas assemble an intricate stanza.”- NY Times
“Nas is a writer, and he needs our attention. He needs us to read lines, between the lines, put it all together. He needs us to give a fuck about the art, the history, and the craft or we won't get what he's saying. Hip-hop isn't dying because Nas hates it; it's dying because not enough people love it…If you want to know what the best rapper alive really sounds like, listen to this album… Hip Hop Is Dead is the album I'll give to people in 20 years when they ask who Nas was.” – Pitchfork
“Hip-Hop Is Dead is the rap record of the year…he’s reanimating hip-hop.” – Time Out New York
“Another masterfully crafted effort from rap legend Nas…A dozen years and eight albums later, Nas is indisputably one of the world’s greatest rappers.” – Entertainment Weekly
