Anytime you label a genre as “dead,” there’s sure to be a sizeable amount backlash from its supporters. We see this happen nowdays with R&B, but fifteen years ago, Nas attempted to place this label on rap with his 2006 album Hip-Hop Is Dead. As expected, the title received a lot of criticism, but the rapper was undeterred by the comments as it arrived without change and much delay. Fast forward to today and the album, as well as its concept, were the center of discussion during a recent episode of Nas’ Spotify podcast, The Bridge: 50 Years Of Hip-Hop. It featured an appearance from Jeezy who spoke about his feelings towards the album’s title.
“When he did Hip Hop [Is] Dead, I thought he was talking about us,” Jeezy said. “I wanted to be the front guy and say what I said. At the time, you gotta think, I’m just getting on. I’m just seeing my first legitimate money. I’m just getting my shows going. And then you got the Don in New York saying ‘hip-hop is dead!’” In response, Nas clarified his intentions with Hip-Hop Is Dead.
“I didn’t think about that part,” Nas admitted. “I didn’t think that certain people would think I’m talking about them.” He added, “I’m talking about mainly New York! Mainly New York. I’m talking to everybody, but I didn’t explain it thorough enough.”
The episode arrives as Nas prepares to release Magic, his third consecutive project produced by Hit-Boy. It follows this year’s King’s Disease II and 2020’s King’s Disease.

Rappers have a reputation for telling some pretty big fish tales, but every so often, they’ll share a true story so outrageous that it sounds like a whopper. In a new promo clip for TV One’s Uncensored series shared by Complex, Atlanta rapper Jeezy relates a story from his longtime friend and mentor Jay-Z that falls into the latter category.
As Jeezy describes the impact of his relationship with Jay, he recalls a time that he and the Brooklyn rapper went for a drive through New York. As they passed by Central Park, Jay — a native New Yorker — admitted that he’d never visited the Big Apple landmark. “We was riding by Central Park,” Jeezy remembers. “And he was like, ‘You know what? I’ve been here my whole life and I’ve never been to that place.’ What I took from that is he’s so focused on doing and being what he is that something as peaceful as a park, he never took a minute to go over there and just enjoy that peace of mind. That meant a lot to me because that’s something I strive for.”
Jeezy also describes how Jay-Z has always had his back, even in a fistfight that took place in Las Vegas. “Some things popped off in Vegas, and I gotta say, Hov got hands!” he chuckles. “‘Cause me and him was getting down!”

Although rapper Jeezy already has two children from previous relationships, hearing the story of how he and girlfriend The Real co-host Jeannie Mai decided to have their own child together is a pretty touching story. In a spread for Women’s Health, Mai shared the news and told fans she’s excited to finally let the world in on the couple’s decision “Jeezy and I have been kind of saving this and hiding this for five months,” she said. “So, we’re relieved to finally share the news.”
But she opened up a bit more on The Real, telling her fellow hosts about how she initially never wanted to have children, but building a healthy relationship with Jeezy eventually changed her mind. Getting emotional as she began to share, Mai said she never really felt safe in her own childhood, and as she began to feel safe in her relationship, the idea of becoming a parent suddenly didn’t seem like an impossible thing. It’s a very moving and vulnerable admission from someone who has clearly given a lot of thought the to the topic, and isn’t just rushing into it, a refreshing change in our culture of late! Check out her thoughts below and congratulations to the couple.
