Nas's video of the song "Hip Hop Is Dead" is an emphasis on "wrecking the DJ," and a social commentary on how the DJ has been wrecked, and ultimately, hip hop is dead.

Nas's social commentary really speaks to me, me being the average individual who is someone who is saddened by the fact that hip hop may, in fact be dying, and that only Nas can save it. He is the defribulator of hip-hop, and he's bringing it back to life for all his homies out there, who carry the burden of believing hip hop is inevitably dead.
