“This guy is from the Swiss mountains. The dialect is
crazy and even I can’t understand him, but you have
GOT to see how they made a hip hop video in a swiss
mountain village. Look closely at the dogs on leashes
- they aren’t dogs!”

Hip Hop is Dead, due out Decemeber 19th, will be Nas’s eighth album release of original material.
Umm…so where is the Hip Hop is Dead website. Kanye has one, Jay has four, Jeezy has one, and uh we here at Defuse News figured that since you know Nas is a sorta big hip hop notable artist that maybe this album would have a site?
Especially since Columbia Records and Def Jam are co-financing the album.
Anyone have an answer?
H2A’s Album Pick: “Can’t Forget About You”
