#2 I bet yo pussy ass wouldn’t have done that…..what the fuck is so wrong with someone bringing a challenge to music?…..RACISM STILL EXIST BITCH!….I know you see that one “Nigger” on the real world and think everythings cool but it’s not so un-less you fighting for something shut the fuck up.

Now a days rap is filled with self-centered, no creativity, won’t step outside the box cause there afraid too, bling, cars, hoes and cloths ass niggas…props to Nas

kelis mentions Lennon at the end and everybody should look into what he had to say about the n-word back in the 70s, what nas is doing aint nuthin new but all the heads who dont know there history are makin it out like nas is exploiting black culture.

I’m all for speaking out and all that, but Nas looks like a fool. He didn’t even articulate his point. He just looked like a 90’s rapper craving attention along with his wife. Lost mad points with me homie

all cuz ya’ll ain’t got the nutts to say nuthin.
Appreciate Esco for the attempt if anything-could’ve played weak and made no statement. @ Least dude is his own man-you scared to be yourself.

Nas is a fucking idiot… He reduced himself to being a “shock value rapper”.

Never thought I’d see this out of him… I lost all respect for this dude.
Master P's Theatre Says:
February 11th, 2008 at 2:47 am
I wanna hear the album, I’m sure he’ll have some good shit to talk about on there but what was that about black people not being able to vote after 23 years?
Rawr Says:

Hey whoever say fuck Nas, FUCK YOU TOO. He is one of the best rapper ever, if you have any kind of sense you will know. Stop talking crazy about Nas, some of ya sucker are saying he is exployting black ppl and this and that, what about all the damb ass rappers we’re supporting who are talking loud but ain’t saying shit, think about it before making damb ass comments.
Dr. Supreme Says:
February 11th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Because Nas wants to challenge himself with this new album title it’s shock value?? explain that to me? If you are not an open minded person then of course you are not getting it where Nas is going with this album title. Like it was said before racism still exist so why hide it for.. I like how Kelis schooled that lady.. Do your history this is nothing new Nas is doing. It might be new to you because you haven’t done your research… I hope the album goes plat just to shut heads up.

Its funny how when john lennon comes out with a song called, ‘women are the niggers of the world’, he is considered a genius, but when nas comes out with a album with same concept, he is considered an idiot..

Kid Wave, Nasty NaS, Esco, NaStradamus, NaS…

I have been a fan of this man since day one however he is making himself look like a total asshole with this, “NIGGER,” album. I however will reserve my judgment until the album is actually released.

NaS has proven himself to be a righteous man in terms of his decisions regarding his music, his personal life, and his credibility. I am willing to give that brother a chance because I think he deserves it.

I think in this day and age where musicians are looked upon as leaders and heroes (not by me but by younger people) its up to them (artist) to say something positive and uplifting rather than glamorize the ills of ordinary life.

If NaS releases an album with a track about “SUPERmaning hoes, umma do me’s, (Insert A Plies Song Here)” I will definitely be the first to throw his ass under the bus. Quote Me On That Shit!!!

Nas gotta shock value his way to the conscious minds of people cause this shit rap music is too dumb down nowadays. He can’t go scientific on yall cause it’s not cool to yall young cats and anyways it’ll go way over yall heads anyway.it’s shock value for the mind. this ain’t no Chino XL shock value type shit.
cocoa49 Says:
February 11th, 2008 at 11:22 am
oh wait until the white kids start wearing those t-shirts. nas is not that powewrful to make a change by exploiting the word “nigger”. the young ones who support nas with his stupidity have no idea how much pain, hurt and deaths that word has caused. all of this just to sell an album. you see nas no longer have to live where we are still being called that word he glorifies. he may think he is doing something worthy, but he is not.
OCRAM Says:
February 11th, 2008 at 11:27 am
for all the peeps inquiring about the 23 yrs. voting. check your history and facts. the bill that was signed expires in 23 yrs. (meaning in 23 yrs. blacks will not have the ability to vote) ask yourself why does this even exist, i’ll tell you why cause racism and prejudice still exist in america. wake up people, i think he’s doing something good wiyh this one. he’s already educated a few kids on this website with this interview.

I’m a big Nas fan but sometimes when he tries to explain things he makes absolutely no sense. This was one of those times. If ur gonna make an album about a controversial and intellectual topic you should have something planned to say about it when interviewed not just speak whatever words come to mind-otherwise u just look really stupid to the world
Trent Says:
February 11th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Nas and Kelis need to stop the madness.

Okay . . . we get the point. No need to advertise such foolishness with those T-shirts.

Nas’ album better be damn good.

You gotta be one stupid mothafucka if you think Nas new album can change the word NIGGER to a word that isn’t all that serious. SMH

“WHITE PEOPLE THINK THAT BY USING IT THEY HURTING OUR FEELINGS, BUT WE SAY ”FUCK YOU ” BACK AND ROCK THESE SHIRTS TO THE FULLEST YA DIG??”

If a white person walks up to a black man even 50 years from now and say “hey Nigger come hear”….I guarantee you the black man is going to feel insulted.

“FUCKING IGNORANT ASS MOTHAFUCKAS, USE YOUR BRAINS FOR ONCE AND STOP BASHING THIS MAN”

Please stop calling people ignorant when your entire post is one of the most ignorant posts I’ve read in a long time. SMH

Oh Goodness People When Will We Move On?! People Give Words Power. An Increase In Wisdom And Understanding Will Allow You to To Have Power Over Your Words And Allow Words To Have Power Over You!!

Rapper Say The Word Nigga In Every Other Verse On Their Albums. You Mean To Tell Me That People Are Brainwashed That Much??? So If Nas Just Got On His Album Saying Nigga, It’s Cool? But Naming His Album Nigga Is A Problem?? ROTLMAO GOD Help Us, Sincerely!

NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER!!! So What??? How Are Those Of Us Who Have Supposedly Moved Out Of That Nigger Mentality Coming Together To Build A Stronger Community Made Up Of All Sound Minds and Strong Spirits. That’s The Topic of Discussion Nigga.

The King Says:
February 12th, 2008 at 1:19 am
yes nas is a great rapper, and one of the more intellectual ones, yes thats true we know this
so he’s definetly smart enuff to make a shock value title to make people look.
i dont think he doin this for the people, i personally think he doin this becuz of the state of music and no one (media) will talk about nas unless he does this.
if he made another stillmatic or illmatic or it was written nobody would really care,(radio, tv, etc.) but this will make everyone care.
nas does go into the rap hall of fame no doubt
that doesnt give him a pass to make publicity stunts for attention.
that makes you no better than 50 cent
and you are wayyyyyyyy better than that
the sad thing is, this stunt wont make the album a big deal in america, in the hood…. yes, in america…..not at all

If it was anyone else I’d be against it but Nas isnt dumb…..yea its for publicity, but I think america needs to face that word n what it symbolizes instead of pretending like slavery never happened. People acting like he made the word up LOL

@ #43 if MARTIN LUTHER KING didn’t stop the use of this word wut the hell makes you think sum lil so called so damn positive rapper gonna stop it! MLK was on sum ride or die shit no matter if his family was in danger racism was 100x worst back then than wut it is today.Its not like he’s shining light on something that just started i put this “nigger” in the same boat with jesse jackson &al sharpton he didn’t make any sense at all.how many times do you think MLK was called a nigger it wasn’t all about the word it was about the treatment and rights of black people @#16 it was never signed into law that blacks have the right to vote its a bill that allow blacks to vote till 2031
nas is still king Says:
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
THIS IS NOT A PUBLICITY STUNT. nas is trying to take away the power from the word and make it meaningless. nas is smart. racism exists and maybe always will. if we wouldn’t call attention to it who would. 50 cent – NO. T-pain – NO.flo-rida – NO. no one these days has the balls to.
