Nas said Hiphop was dead in 2004, but even he and others say it died well before that.
Funny, I remember when he said that and I didn't know what he meant at the time, especially with Ludacris and Lil' Jon blowing up the charts that year. But if you are talking about the lyrics based conscious hip hip that he, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, etc. are know for, then he's right. I grew up in Baltimore and went to school near D.C where there are several urban stations in both cities and have not heard real hip hop on the radio since the mid 1990s.
