As in "ER." Not "GA."

"I don't know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam," Nas said of the 'source close to LA Reid' that denied the album's existence to Foxnews. "None of us knows where that came from."

In addition to telling MTV that his album was two weeks from being done, he also noted that the first single off of N*gger will drop just days after the November 6th release of his Greatest Hits album. He also said of the controversy surrounding the album title:

"I'm a street disciple. I'm talking to the streets. Stay out of our business. You ain't got no business worrying about what the word 'n*gger' is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me. Whether you in the NAACP or you Jesse Jackson. I respect all of them ... I just want them to know: Never fall victim to Fox[news]. Never fall victim to the sh*t they do. What they do is try to hurry up and get you on the phone and try to get you to talk about something you might not know about yet.

"If Cornell West was making an album called N*gger, they would know he's got something intellectual to say. To think I'm gonna say something that's not intellectual is calling me a n*gger, and to be called a n*gger by Jesse Jackson and the NAACP is counterproductive, counter-revolutionary."

Nas went on to explain the meaning behind the title of the album:

"I wanna make the word easy on muthaf*ckas' ears. You see how white boys ain't mad at 'cr*cker' 'cause it don't have the same [sting] as 'n*gger'? I want 'n*gger' to have less meaning [than] 'cr*cker.' With all the bullsh*t that's going on in the world, racism is at its peak. I wanna do the sh*t that's not being done. I wanna be the artist who ain't out. I wanna make the music I wanna hear.

"We're taking power from the word," he added. "No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil-rights movement, but some of my n*ggas in the streets don't know who [civil-rights activist] Medgar Evers was... they know who Nas is. And to my older people who don't now who Nas is and who don't know what a street disciple is, stay outta this muthaf*ckin' conversation. We'll talk to you when we're ready. Right now, we're on a whole new movement. We're taking power from that word."

For the record, naming your album "N*gger" is NOT going to help to extract insult from the meaning of it. "N*gger" has a historical backbone that will never go away; international marketing/distribution of the word and slapping a bar code on it only gives these stupid white kids another reason to think it's okay to call each other "n*gga" amongst themselves. I've never witnessed it right in front of me, but I've seen it on Myspace. It's not okay. And Nas, possessing the power that he does, is not helping the situation. He's only reinforcing it.
But good luck. I always support Nas to the tenth. Even though I heard he's a real arrogant d*ck.


According to Miss Info, 50 and Lil Kim have put their differences aside and joined forces to record the follow-up to their smash "Magic Stick" [LISTEN], which came out back in '03 or something like that. Time flies.

A while back, 50 was tight because Lil Kim's label reportedly "held on to 'Magic Stick' so long" that he couldn't do anything with it. He expressed his anger regarding the situation a while back.

But now, over four years later, they've gone into the studio together to make "Magic Stick 2: Wanna Lick." This was all done thanks to Young Buck, Kim's ... man. Or whatever they call it nowadays. It will go on the upcoming G-Unit album Shoot to Kill.

As a black male, it has come to my attention that a lot of African american are ignorant and uneducated, not just formal education, they can't think out of the bubble, how is Nas helping the racism issue? You guys cry out loud when a white man calls you a nigga, but the fact of the matter is dragging intelligent blacks down, he's not helping it at all.

wow 1st 50 cent post without a hateful remark about him. Well done u might just be a man yet.

I love big black cocks

well said commentary on Nas, sadly he thinks he is making a statement or stand against something that others do not see the same way we do, As an sister living and working abroad, it always rocks me to my core because America is such a small facet of the world yet has such a major impact to hear and see young Swiss, German, and Turkish kids blasting rap music and calling each other nigger and calling women bitches and hoes ignorance is an epidemic people STOP IT NOW

only gives these stupid white kids another reason to think it's okay to call each other "n*gga" amongst themselves. I've never witnessed it right in front of me,

You are stupid, I ve never posted something negative about a blogger but come on, it must be much smarter for blacks to call themselves nigger! and since you've never witnessed a white kid doing you must be an expert, but I am sure you've witnessed a black kid doing it right?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIG DEAL DIDN'T 2PAC HAD A ALBUM CALL N.I.G.G.E.R AND NWA HAD A ALBUM CALL NIGGER FOR LIFE SO WHY CAN NAS COME OUT WITH A ALBUM CALL NIGGER. DOES THAT NAME OF A ALBUM MATTER THAT MUCH.

I wonder if anybody knows that the word "yankee" was a "historically insulting" word also yet nowadays its a baseball team. The word bitch was once the worse thing you can call a woman, thanx to missy nowadays women use it to empower themselves. Some people will never understand that de-sensitizng a word is the only to way defeat it; im glad nas does. By making it more taboo, you are empowering it.

If a white guy made a county album called FUCK NIGGER would that be cool too?? MR. Educated Nas is making a mistake

http://cyberthugs.wordpress.com

I see what nma dude nas doin.how u gone judge tha man and not even hear what he gotta say,or hear tha album..judge after u listen..

WHATS THE BIG FUCKIN DEAL OVER THE WORD???? We hated the hell out of it, when slave masters called us that shit, but now we call ourselves that and wish to keep it like some kinda "secret-society" shit where nobody else uses it??? I got a white DJ in my hip-hop group..... he's still my nigga, fuck what you heard. It's typical for blacks to wanna "own" some shit that is way bigger than the race itself (see: Niggaz claiming neighborhoods, projects, cities, territories, etc. when they are all owned by state and federal governments), but grow the hell up with this shit.

If you know someone who is on prescription medicine go to www.nulegacyrxcard.com/sjackson to print off a FREE prescription drug card that saves up to 75%. Just print it off and use it!!!!

its funny how every rapper and his mother uses the word nigga in 99% of rap music today, but when Nas wants the album title to be called Nigga, people start bitchin up. Fuckin Hypocrites kill me with that shit. Nas has the balls not to follow but lead and he should be applauded for it.

when I first heard that Nas was naming his album nigger, I just knew there was a deep rooted meaning as to why he would name it that, but naming it that to desensitize us to the word is not a good look... I have read DIck Gregory's book and thought it was gonna be along those lines... i'm a NAs fan but he really disappointed me with his answer

@RECKLESS,


Yo B erase/delete that ignorant shit someone did earlier... Some of ya are mad childish I tell ya!

CEE=LO GREEN'S "THE EXPERIENCE"

I thought you said you was the G-O-D
Sound like another nigga to me, shit
What a nigga do, what a nigga does
And a nigga is what a nigga was
And a nigga done read history but yet his eyes didn’t see
The only reason you a nigga is because somebody else wants you to be
Well a nigga uneducated, integrated, sangin’ “We shall overcome”
A nigga trying to be white is what a nigga seem like have become
And when they call me a nigga to my face
Can’t do nothin’ but walk away
But here it is niggas call other niggas nigga each and every day
Dividing and conquering
when they say the lighter shade of black is okay
After the middle class and they passin’ by
The projects laughin at where we stay
Since a nigga had got grown, had a little bitty of nigga of my own
Should’ve known I couldn’t show ‘em no better than what I was shown
Shit, I still want to hit the club as fresh as I could be
But really, it’s all for another nigga to see
You know how a nigga get when he see another nigga outfit
Don’t want nobody to have what he ain’t got
Somebody get drunk, get mad, and get shot
That’s why the property value ain’t no good in a nigga neighborhood
A nigga could overstand if he only understood
I’m sick of lyin’ I’m sick of glorifyin’ dyin’
I’m sick of not trying, shit I’m sick of being a nigga
Destiny sent me to this dread and she said she felt led
To offer me some wisdom frm this little book she read
And it said a great deal of the black man’s downfall
Was not know that we were not ever niggas at all, hmm
And she looked deeply into my eyes and said brother don’t you know
You complain about being black,
When they mad cuz they can’t be black no mo’
So many black men out here trying to be niggas
Keeping it real to the point that they dying to be niggas
When in actuality the fact is you ain’t a nigga because you black
You a nigga cause of how you act

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CO-MOTHER effing - SIGN

btw that was strictly for my n.i.g.g.a.z.

Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me?
Well it's because motherf**kers want to blast me
And run me outa my neighborhood
They label me as a dope dealer
Yo! And say that I'm no good
But I can't find jobs so niggas wouldn't have to go out
Gave up some dope on the corner so they could show out
When the cops came, they gave a fake name
Because the life in the streets is just a head game
So therefore, to make more
A fifteen year old black kid will go and rob a liquor store
And get shot in the process
He ate up a nine bullet and now he's put to rest

Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me?
I guess it's the way s**t has to be
Back when I was young gettin a job was murder
f**k flippin burgers
'Cause a deserve a nine-to-five I can be proud of
That I can speak loud of
And to help a nigga get out of.
Yo! The concrete playground
But most motherf**kers only want you to stay down
But I'm a smart motherf**ker you see
One of the best producers in the rap music industry
Gettin paid like a mother f**ker
A young brother who don't give a f**k about another

Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me?
Because police always wanna harass me
Every time that I'm rollin
They swear up and down that the car was stolen
Make me get faced down in the street
They throw the s**t out my car on the concrete
In front of a residence
A million white motherf**kers on my back like I shot the President

Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me?
Because my mouth is so mother f**kin nasty
b***h this, b***h that
Nigga this, nigga that
In the mean while my pockets are gettin fat
Gettin paid to say this s**t here
Makin more in a week than a doctor makes in a year
So, why not call myself a nigga?
It's better than pulling the trigger and goin up the river
And don't I get called a nigga anyway?
Booked as a motherf**ker and locked away
So... so, cut out all that bull s**t
Yo! I guess I'll be a nigga for life

{ Niggas, crackers, jews.
If there's a hell below, we're all gonna go. }


Nigga. Nigga. Nigga
Nigga. Nigga
Nigga, please
I'm treated like a f**kin disease.
You say: why can I call myself a nigga so quick?
Cause I can reach in my draws and pull out a bigger d**k
Yo! nigga say nigga we cool
But, cracker say nigga, nigga nut the f**k up
But I got to be a fast nigga
Not to be the last nigga
Or I have to beat your ass, nigga
In the city you see action first
Then hear about it later
In a verse I curse
Because I [?] with this to keep my s**t straight bumpin'
Murder created by the streets of Compton
I get it from the underground poet
I live it, I see it, and I write it
Because I know it
And if you think I'm f**king your wife
Your mother f**kin' right
Yo! Because I'm a nigga for Life

Nigga, this
Nigga, that
The actual fact is that I'm black
And bound to attract
The attention of another
I mean the other
But I'm a mother f**ker that'll have them running for cover
You see, I don't give a f**k about nothing
Except getting paid, getting b***hes, and [?] with stitches
Which is all needed to read it and find a rhyme
And then it's time to say
The nigger's here to stay
But what about the fake niggas, the house niggas
To get paid quick they gotta suck a fat d**k
But NWA is outta your mother f**kin' range
We ain't gonna change a mother f**kin' thing

I call myself a nigga 'cause my skin won't whiten
I call myself a nigga 'cause the s**t that I'm writing
Hypes me, hypes other mother f**kers around me
And that's the reason why they want to surround me
And ask me: why do I call myself a nigga-ro
Ain't none of their f**kin' business 'cause I'll let the trigger go
So get out of my presence, and get out of my sight
'Cause MC Ren is a nigga for Life

You're a nigger 'til you die
If you're a poor nigger, then you're a poor nigger
If you're a rich nigger, you're a rich nigger
But you never stop being a nigger
And if you get to be educated, you's an education nigger

It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'm a be a nigga for Life

It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'm a be a nigga for Life

It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'm a be a nigga for Life

It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'm a be a nigga for Life

I'm A Nigga, he's a nigga, she's a nigga, we some niggas, would'nt U like to be a nigga too?

well since all races came from the original man the HUE-MAN man of color, you grafted experiment of yakub

What up to da regs up on here. I'ma give ya'll some quick facts about the N-word.

The word nigger actually derived from the latin word for the color black 'niger'. In 1837 when Hosea Easton, a famous author, established that the term was "employed to impose contempt upon (blacks) as an INFERIOR race."


They were even "Niggers of Europe" and "Niggers of the Middle East" these were used to refer to people of Irish and Middle Eastern descent by Anglo American supremacists. The word nigger was meant to demean people from those cultures, invoking hatred and ignorance and still is this day.

2 cops held liable in screwdriver assault
Man stands to get $4 million from city
By Jeff Coen | Tribune staff reporter
October 17, 2007
A federal jury late Tuesday held two Chicago police officers liable for the unreasonable search of a man who alleged that the officers sodomized him with a screwdriver during a search for drugs.
-
Coprez Coffie, 23, had testified that the tactical officers used the tool on him in a West Side alley in 2004. His family hugged after the verdict was announced.
-
"Justice was served, it was," Coffie said after court. "Now you see what's going on. It's put to the light."
The jury was not asked to decide damages because the two sides had previously reached a settlement of $4 million if the verdict favored Coffie.
-
The jury, which deliberated for three days, did not stop to speak to reporters.
-
Coffie's attorney, Jon Loevy, said he believed it was the totality of the evidence in the case that led to the favorable verdict. Loevy had presented evidence that an internal police investigation uncovered screwdrivers in the car used by the officers, that Coffie had an injury to his rectum and that a forensic test suggested there was human fecal matter in the car's glove compartment.
-
Loevy called the case a black eye for the Police Department, which did not discipline the officers, Gerald Lodwich and Scott Korhonen. The nine jurors found that Korhonen conducted an unreasonable search and that Lodwich failed to stop it, he said.
-
"It's further evidence that the Police Department does not do an effective job of policing itself," he said.
-
The department recently has been embroiled in a scandal involving its now-disbanded Special Operations Section.
-
A Law Department spokeswoman said the city was disappointed by the verdict and would consider its options for appeal.
-
A spokeswoman for the police's Office of Professional Standards said any case involving a city settlement is reviewed.
-
The Coffie case will be reopened to examine any new information developed during the civil trial, the spokeswoman said.
-
Coffie said he now intends to finish school and would use the money to help care for his 2-year-old son.
-
He had testified at trial that he was handcuffed, placed against the officers' unmarked car in an alley near Division Street and Pulaski Road and told to spread his buttocks before the assault. He eventually was charged with drug possession.
-
Andrew Hale, hired by the city to represent the officers, had said the city and officers denied that the assault took place.

If you buy Nas' album you ARE a nigger. Maybe he could get away with niggA but niggER? Anybody who tries to justify this is a clwon and a fucking stan. A stan to the highest degree. I know people who were ok when it was niggA but they are even mad it's niggER. This man is a walking gimmick.

Well I will say this, all these decades have passed and the word N*gger/N*gga is still being used whether by Whites or Blacks. The only practical act of prevention Americans have come up with so far is "avoidance to prevention" and turning the word into a sort of social taboo. In my opinion this just creates a fear of the unknown and an everlasting desire to experience what it's like to be able to use the word. Essentially, it DOESN'T WORK and realistically the word isn't any further from existence then it was back then. So, I feel that Nas has a very valid point and since the "old fashioned" way isn't working, we need to give Nas' plan a shot. Therefore, since desperately avoiding the word isn't working, Nas' approach is a very logical altenative. I think it will indeed take meaning away from the word because Americans give it way too much depth as it is.

BY NORMAN PARISH Staff Reporter/nparish@suntimes.com
A day after his friend was gunned down as the two walked on a South Side street, a 10-year-old boy sat Thursday alone at the top of his pal's front steps.

"I feel real sad,'' the fourth-grader said. "I miss him. We would be playing baseball or something or walking around."

The boy's friend, Arthur Jones, also 10, was killed Wednesday afternoon by stray bullets during what police say was a gang-related fight. The boys -- and others -- were out walking together to go to a local store when they came upon a fighting crowd at Halsted and Garfield.

Shots rang out, and the boys ran, the friend said. Arthur was hit several times, including in the neck.

One person -- who allegedly was possibly involved but not the gunman -- was in police custody Thursday.

Chicago Public Schools offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to charges against the shooter. Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church offered $10,000.

"It is crazy. It was senseless,'' said Rita Perez, Arthur's mother. "They just didn't hurt one person. They hurt the whole community.''

Arthur was a fifth-grader at nearby Holmes School and wanted to be a pastor one day.

"He talked a lot, but he seemed mature, like an old soul," said his homeroom teacher, Kiesha Shaw-Nobles.

The boy's friend said he didn't see who shot Arthur, but he had a message for the two gangs said to be warring over turf.

"I would tell them they were wrong for shooting him," the boy said. "[Arthur] didn't have anything to do with it."

It's sad that children fall victim 2 senseless violence like this everyday in the streets, not only in Chicago, but in every major city across the country, & 4 what? over territory that's not even owned by us, yet some of us brothers R quick 2 shoot each other over it & not give a fuck if an innocent child gets shot, U might as well spit in the face of that child's mother by taking her child's life, & what really gets me is when people think that marching through the hood singing "we shall overcome"
is gonna get these dumb niggas off the street, that ain't shit but a false sense of hope, then again, what do U expect when the Government put drugs, guns, & liquor stores in the Black communities in the 1st place?

Niggas

SMH

the reason the word nigger, nigga, niggrette is never going to become as irrelevant as cracker is becuase things like this...its a big uproar cuz Nas calling his album that, Chappelle quit cuz he didnt like how white people laughed at it, I remember J-Lo took heat for saying it in a song...like its a word we make it a big deal jus so we can have suttin to complain about if we jus accepted it as a normal word...or even just a curse we would be better off

damn they say the unit is dead... but this dike keeps them in her post like tramp times a week...

wow.........

I can understand where Nas is coming from...see the word "Nigger" was created by white people to describe us, and we as strong black people took the word and said you know what, your meaning does not fit us and created a way for it to be about love. The white man sees this and now has decided to change the argument to, well how can you call us racist, when you use the word too...this kind of bait and switch is part of a pyschological game they play where under no circumstance can we be right. Instead of agreeing with Fox news and those of there ilk who created the word and created this argument, we need to take ownership in our own thoughts and let them know they don't get an excuse for being racists just because we have taken away the power of a word they created to destroy us both in the physical and mental sense.

This N word has gone too far. I'm not trying to label the generation of today but there are far tooo many youngins and young adults walking around just saying the word like its all good . I see people on the train saying it in front of anybody, thats why other races think its ok to say the word. First we as a people have to stop using it word freely, we have to think back to when some of our parents and grandparents were coming up and they were being called this word in a negative way. This word was never used back then as a term of endearment, and really shouldn't be used as one now, but we call our boys nuccas and my nigger. I know deep down that when I say it to my boys it's love, but I will not say that word in front of no other race to give them the thought of hey if they can use to meet and great each other, then that must mean thats what they want to be called. Just thnk back in history and remember folks were killed by the oppressors because they wee fighting back when they were called nigger!!!

Here's the solution to the N-word problem: first, take it out the dictionary, so its OFFICIALLY gone, then if people stop teaching the word to their kids(black white and otherwise) it will be gone in a few generations, because language changes.

I feel you, but we aint gonna ever get to that point because we like the most sensitive race (Blacks) on this Earth. Chinese people get called "chinks" and are stereotypically labeled "people who cook rats, pigeons, etc. but serve it as chicken, beef, etc.", Whites is "crackers", "wiggaz", and the like, Mexicans are "bean-eaters", "Ho-sways", "Julios", etc., but Blacks is the only race that let the derogatory name shit get under our skin. Them broads on that basketball team prolley sit in a beauty parlor or go to a corner store or some shit and shit on the cat behind the register for being a foreigner, but if Don Imus is on the radio saying "You'z a Jiggaboo...." e'erybody crying, trying to get him lynched up (By the way, he getting his job back in December, starting with 8 mill). I'm just wondering when is Blacks as a race gonna turn the other cheek and not let shit get stretched outta context so hard. fuck hip-hop, Free Speech is dead.

That's a good idea, but in this day and age you have too many kids raising kids, teaching stupid slang, teaching them that it's cool to be in gangs and all kinda dumb shit they don't need to be involved in at a impressionable age.

you know why that makes no sense, them other races arent calling themselves wet backs, spics, kites, chinks its only blacks degrading themselves and saying its love, then its OTHER races who are numb to the racial parts not us, if YOU as a blackman is numb to someone calling you a nigger or nigga then you are excepting that as you.

a black person excepting the term nigga or nigger is like a women saying i dont care if a man call me a bitch or a hoe its just a word.

dre guevara says....what really gets me is when people think that marching through the hood singing "we shall overcome"
is gonna get these dumb niggas off the street, that ain't shit but a false sense of hope, then again, what do U expect when the Government put drugs, guns, & liquor stores in the Black communities in the 1st place?

There are drugs, guns and liquor everywhere, even in suburban white neighborhoods. But we(blacks) have poverty and institutional racism. No one can make you do drugs, or drink, or bust a gun. You make your own choices. No white man goes to the hood like, "Shoot this gun/sell this dope/do this dope because you are black." People make their own choices, and ALOT of blacks make the wrong ones, because of......institutional racism.


Black people will succeed as soon as we STOP lookin for instant gratification and support our own communities. Sex, money, drugs, think about it, we are pratically the only race who is proud to be UNSUCCESSFUL. All the other races(latinos,asians,middle easterns) come here and get money, we BEEN here and we still in the hood. Cause we dont value the things that you need in the "real world".

I see you niggers saying the word nigger all the time and it not just the young niggers, the old nigger are guilty too of saying niggers.


NIggers this, niggers that, that nigger beat me over the head with bat


I personally like saying the word nigger. Me and my niggers say it all time. Nas is now my nigger. I'm glad he's naming his album nigger. Nas is a good Nigger and all you nigger should look up to that nigger


I know you niggers hate when a white guy like me calls you a nigger. But a nigger is a nigger. and all of you are niggers. Why is it okay for niggers to call themselves niggers but when I can you a nigger you want to kick my ass? Since yall niggers want to act like that when I call you niggers niggers, then all I have to say is fuck you niggers.


Just last week I got this nigger cop to arrest this nigger, that I called a nigger. and the nigger cop didn't want to arrest the young nigger but he had to do it. I was driving and I cut off this other nigger that was driving and this nigger got mad at me. So this nigger pull up to me at the red light and started talking shit to me. I said fuck you nigger, go suck your mother. And his face jsut dropped cause he couldn't believe I called him a nigger. So the nigger got out his car so I pulled off. Then I stop a few feet ahead and the nigger started chasing me. I drove away a few more feet and called him a stupid nigger monkey. The nigger got back in his car and chased me for 10 blocks. I'm white so I'm very smart. So I let that nigga chase me and lead that nigger to a police station. I pulled up in fromt of the police and siad that nigger was threatin my life. That stupid got out of the car and was still trying to kick my ass in front of the nigger cops. So I told the the nigger cop to lock that nigger up and I wanted to press charges. so they had no choice up to lock that nigger up with all the rest of them crazy niggers. And yes I will be going to court to testify against that nigger. That's what happens when you fuck with whitey. Let that be a lesson to all you niggers

props to Immortal Tech for keep the real rap revolution in movement.....

props to Nas for having the heart and goal to accomplish with the new album.... how you gonna mad at the word "nigger/nigga" and you writin on a Hip-Hop website about a music full of "nigga" amongst other "sensitized" words, lets be clear here, is it cool for you to listen to it when it has no relevancy behind it, but gets scared when it's use has meaning?

NIGGA PLEASE!!!!

I'd like to big-up NAS for standing his ground. Everybody wants to act like if we cover our ears and promise to never say it again, it will just go away. Well guess what people it's been 400 some odd years (it ain't going anywhere). The NAACP gave a funeral for the word (hahahaha). It's time for what NAS is doing, and hold up that mirror and break the word down where it doesn't carry the same weight any longer. 2pac-strictly for my niggaz; NWA-niggaz for life; Tribe called Quest-sucker niggas

Whered you niggers go?

NAS HAS NO BUZZ, people are talking about g-unit, jay and weezy albums.so nas has to come with that title to get everyone talking and riled up.he cant make a hit record so he might as well make a statement.nas give it up and go become a preacher.and g-unit been on tour for like 2 months now, the whole team is in europe getting paid.

its a nigger, look its a nigger!

Ya'lls boy Nas is making a bad decision. He's basically giving white folks and all other races a pass to say the "N" word, tombout he's trying to make it mean less. GTFOH, and if he continues with this album, he won't see a cent out of me. He's taking this marketing scheme too far. Plus, he thinks he's so intelligent when in all reality, he's coming off as a dumb ass.

hip hop aint dead its just nas,& LL dey just dont want 2 stay n dere fu/kin casket. dat Cee lo intro was real convosatin. nas & LL should b tryna put some new artist out n stop cryin bout jay z dont want 2 push dere cd's wat happend 2 pushin ur own shit if LL was puttin out singles like he been bitchin he would have da game on lock. he need 2 study juelz santana,and da whole SOUTH we dont bitch bout promotion we just kick n da fu/kn door.

Actually Brook, you're wrong on that one. I used to talk to a Mexican chick, and some of the suburban ones do jokingly call a good friend a wetback. One of my old clients was white, and she went on before about how some country guy she met was nothing but a redneck. Hell the white people that went to my Middle School used to call each other cracker as a joke. Women call each other bitch, and big people call each other fat.


Every race and every group of people call each other names that no one else would be allowed to call them. One of the many problems with our people, is that we allow Middle Class White America to convince us that our shortcomings are specific only to our race.

@ real recognize real


That's real talk.

Since i've been old enough to grasp the genious that has came out of Nas' mouth on the mic, i've been buyin his albums. But i can't say i'll be buyin this one. I understand what intends on attempting, but this will do more harm than help the racial tension in the U.S.
First, the word "nigger" still has a stinging effect. We call each other "niggas" and hear it in music 1000x a song now a days, but google "racist cartoons" and see how back in the day they use to use "nigger" to describe black people like it was the truth. if ur not pissed enough to want to punch the nearest white person, than u deserve be called a "nigger" because of how ignorant u are. bottom line that word still stings, Nas' is using this as a gimmick to sell records. I seriously doubt that just because Nasty Nas (EscoTrash) called his cd that, that everyone's gonna be "damn, it ain't that bad anymore".
-
It's not even the word "nigga" cause there's been albums and songs with the word in the title that w1ent on to sale millions, but we all know the context they are used in Nas', ur fans' aren't retarded. Nas shouldn't be surprised when this album goes 3xs tinfoil. A huge percentage of his fanbase are white college students, and most of them are not going to go into a BestBuy to buy that Nigger Album. Family friendly Wal-Mart isn't gonna shelf that shit without changing the name. No major music outlet is gonna have that shit on their shelf with out editing it because of how taboo that word is. It's like having an album on the shelfs named "FUCK".

Nas is not giving people a pass to say the word "nigger". For the longest rappers have been using the word "nigger", so don't try to blame Nas just becasue that's what he wants to name is album. NWA did it, 2pac did it, and ODB did it.


So your going to have to find another way to hate on Nas

@ RRR

aight i can feel that, cause i remember growing up and welfare was "exclusive" for blacks then when the studies came out that more whites was on welfare the gasp and shock was crazy.
but at the same time i think it ignorant, even when i talk to a chick and she say well a "bitch like me" or "im the time of bitch" i be looking at shorty like damn ma why u gotta disrespect ya self and she might not think it is, but it is. and im not saying i dont say bitch and hoe but if not for me have respect for ya self.
-
i mean damn you got whites mad cause they CANT say it, and blacks mad when blacks say stop using it.
i posted some willie lynch manuals on my myspace page, this dude got methods on breding blacks and how to manipulate the black women and that same shit u can see now.

actually them white kids WILL buy it just like they brought NWA.
i just dont see what "power" your taking from a word that YOU gave no power to. people that say its jsut a word is dumb cause im sure no one on here is gonna walk around with a shit that say im gay or im a fag so its not JUST a word.
but you talking about racist cartoons, shit, click my name and check willie lynch other letters that he got, he breaks down the breeding of blacks and all that.

controversy sells.

October 19, 2007 1:19 PM

@ Brooklyn B:

That's the point I was getting at. A bitch is a bitch, a nigger is a nigger, a hoe is a hoe, but we let people using the term on some wannabe shit get us fired up...... and they talking in a general sense. I can walk up and point out a specific women out of a group and call her a hoe, and because I'm a nigGA, the response is, "Nigga, whatever....". When THEY call a group or a specific class of women a hoe, then it's a issue and everybody takes offense. I'm a firm believer than if you aint one and it don't apply to you, shut the fuck up and keep it moving. If Melyssa Ford wasn't sucking dick, getting fucked behind the scenes, etc. as a video girl, then why be offended when Game says "You wouldn't get far...." It's whites out there that refer to they manz as "redneck" if they from out in the country (I know a couple). it is what it is.

@RRR
yeah but you dont have the WORLD calling a group of people something.
even the gibson guy on fox news, he made a comment he knew the shooter in cleveland was WHITE cause he shot himself, the hip hoper would go out like that, the white kid blah blah blah but the GANGSTA dont and at the end of the day you can say he aint talking about me and mines and that maybe true but he's generalizing a race of people.
-
i believe its 3 types of blacks
1) your we all need to get along and work togeteher, MLK blacks
2)we need to stick together and separte our slef from whites, MALCOM X blacks
3)i dont care what happens to THEM blacks as long as I make it, JAMES JOHNSON blacks
-
so true you can say they aint talking about me, but eventually it will make rounds to you and yours. thats why the older blacks wanna stop the usage but the younger blacks dont know the HISTORY nor why they SHOULDNT call them self that. now ME i NEVER heard a mexican call them slef wet backs, u said u did and that you but i never heard it, i never hear a rican call them self spics....better yet i never heard them say these things as no "term of enderment" that shit is disrespectful no matter how u slice it.
-
on kanye's 1st album last song he have a part where he say "well one nigga that helped, well he wasnt a nigga..." me personally i think thats a problem, there was a time when we refered to our self as brotha, blackman, god, king etc thats endering, nigga thats embarrassing

Am I the only one that sees the idiocity attached to the word? Regardless of where it comes from, how it was used, how it is currently used, etc...this one word draws so much attention, people are not only almost ready to die for being called that word...it seems as if people are ready to die to defend that very word as well. It's stupid.
-
You got black folks on here defending the use of the word, you got children on here playin games reposting it thousands of times, you got people debating why some can say it why some cant, you can't people saying let it die, you got some saying "it's just a word."
-
And it's the same old circle of discussion, the same old people sayin the same old thing and nothing changing. I don't know man....just seems like a waste of time if you ask me. That's all I'ma say. Because that one word separates and divides. Just like in some's eyes I have no right to even say what I'm saying now, because I'm white.
-
It's not real often that I show up and necessarily stand up and say "this is my opinion as a white man" because I do not believe in the divisiveness. But since the very nature of this word forces anything I say to fall on that side of the fence anyway, well...then I guess here is what I have to say as a white man. Seeing people fight so fiercly over wanting to hang on to that word despite of the source of it's creation and use in the historical context, it doesn't make any sense to me. That's it, that's all I have on the topic.

What's goin on fam? What topic am I tryin to bait you into? Have I ever told you that you look like Beetlejuice? hahahaha

Naw, seriously though...what you talkin about. Get at me?

like it or not, pz is telling some truths, we as blacks need to stop letting that word define and divide us. if you act accordingly, u will be labeled as such. we need to learn how to stop giving power to the word, yea some of yall make some good points but there are more serious issues in the black community. yall worrying about what someone else got to say. who cares? all minorities are discriminated against but they seem to want more than our people... we settle for shit, no wonder others see us as the very "niggers" we dont want to be. that shit will never go away, someone will always hate, thats just life... i refuse to let some societal bullshit define me... its funny how some of u bitches griping and complaining listen to artists that blurt nigga every few bars...

i see you like making reference to selassie and him being a christian, but theres a looooong letter on my page by a man name willie lynch that i want u to read, and when u read the whole thing then i have ONE question for you and its NOT the question you think imma ask so dont try and guess. and as you read it keep your last post in mind so you can see why some fight agaisnt it and some fight for it

Yo word life I'm gonna keep it real with ya. This kid PZ is the biggest nigga here! Just one ignorant dude that's always bringing up God.... Come on dude there's no God in hip hop like there's no crying in baseball. It's a damn shame that it takes me to school an Anglo Saxon, Pre-Historic fuck like yourself. You are what's wrong with white people and just people overall. Always trying to push their idiotic ideals and rhetoric on everyone..Fall Back!

@Brooklyn B

I can't get to myspace from here.
-
I'll step ahead of you a minute and tell you that the Willie Lynch letter does NOT come from Christ, it is NOT supported by JESUS and is from a man misusing the name of God to further ignorant evil beliefs. Just like the Crusades, the Inquisitions, the Catholic church supporting Nazi Germany, etc.
-
From what I've studied and read up on, Selassie symbolized Christ better than any of the previously mentioned idiots.
-
But let's talk. I can't say "debate" because you always try and tell me about them past fools who misused Christs name. If you wanna debate Christianity, you gotta get a get grounding of Christianity to be able to tell me the areas of contention. Don't tell me what others did "claiming" Christianity...nope, you find out what Christ teaches and then lets discuss that. That is what I've done regarding ya'lls belief. I don't point at the actions of people who claimed that belief, I look at the belief itself. You are not putting me on the side of them clowns, cuz we are not the same.
-
So let's roll with whatever you wanna discuss. I ain't got no goons with me though, just me and the holy spirit.
-
CHRIST BLESS!

Am I the only one that sees the idiocity attached to the word? Regardless of where it comes from, how it was used, how it is currently used, etc...this one word draws so much attention, people are not only almost ready to die for being called that word...it seems as if people are ready to die to defend that very word as well. It's stupid.
-
You got black folks on here defending the use of the word, you got children on here playin games reposting it thousands of times, you got people debating why some can say it why some cant, you can't people saying let it die, you got some saying "it's just a word."
-
And it's the same old circle of discussion, the same old people sayin the same old thing and nothing changing. I don't know man....just seems like a waste of time if you ask me. That's all I'ma say. Because that one word separates and divides. Just like in some's eyes I have no right to even say what I'm saying now, because I'm white.
-
It's not real often that I show up and necessarily stand up and say "this is my opinion as a white man" because I do not believe in the divisiveness. But since the very nature of this word forces anything I say to fall on that side of the fence anyway, well...then I guess here is what I have to say as a white man. Seeing people fight so fiercly over wanting to hang on to that word despite of the source of it's creation and use in the historical context, it doesn't make any sense to me. That's it, that's all I have on the topic.

I hate to say it but Whitey is right on this issue.


If you are tired of that word being used, I have some news for you:


That horrible word is going nowhere in this lifetime.


The main agenda of the Black Cracker Movement is to destroy white supremacy by impregnating as many white women as possible. Once we accomplish this goal, generations from now everyone in the world will be one color, thus making that God-awful word extinct.


Therefore, I urge all you black brother to join our organization. Even if you do not want to join your organization, please go out and fuck as many white bitches as possible. Please go out and sell drugs in the white community. Please go out and ruin the finances of white females. This is what white people have been doing to black people for hundreds of years. Straight up exploiting up!!!!!


Even the bible agrees with this.

"And eye for and eye, tooth for a tooth"


"Do un to others like they do to you"


"Pay Caesar (aka the white man) what Caesar is due"


As black men in America it is your duty to fuck the white man over with no Vaseline (no homo)

@Brooklyn B

Dog...I've asked Saul Paul to come on. Apparently he ain't on here like we on here everyday. He'll be here this weekend, I'll have him address it on camera and that is that. Please believe it's nothing to do with fearing discussion...we do this all day everyday homey, this is our life. I'm here for a reason, everybody ain't got the same purpose. I don't control no other man...so you headed no where with the "well if not that's cool." I'm here. So if you have a question that you would like my black christian brothers to answer, send it in an email, post it on here...and I'll get their response for you.
-
If you want to discuss this thing, then link me up to somewhere I can go read it and let's do the dang thang.
-
The whole Willie Lynch letter is straight stupidity. What you expect me to say about it? I don't understand what the discussion could really be...it's ignorance. The whole thing was ignorant. You gonna try and tell me that the whole idea of "divide and turn them against each other"...you gonna try and get me to discuss how that isn't happening, or that there is no racism? Post the thing...link me up and let's do this today. I'ma be busy this weekend. Got the event tomorrow "Live Ur Life- Celebrating Drug and Alcohol Awareness- Red Ribbon Week" (expecting 800+), it's my anniversary then me and my mixed family and our black white and mexican friends are all going to Six Flags. Wifey tryin to get me to climb in the "coffin of fear" and get bugs crawlin all on me, but I ain't havin it. So I ain't gonna be thinking about this same circle of divisive discussion. I'm busy in them streets and in the community and my circle of influence breaking down the divides and all stereotypes and living a happy life in love.
-
So post it up man...cuz you got me ready to squish all the nonsense. Monday I need to do some work too...I been slackcin hard this week.

Just imagine if we were together as a black people.. We would do a lot better then we are but that will never happen... And it's all Nas' fault!!!!!!

@pz
its on my page, all im saying is read all of it not portions or verses read the whole thing then i will ask you a question, you keep guessing what imma ask you, just like when i said read about black wall st, read about black panther party, read about garvey, thats all im saying you reading and reciting about stuff that happen in BC and AD but not what happen in the 60s or 1800s.
-
and i give a shit if any of you christian goons come on i just ASKED so it dont seem like people is ganging on you, i dont care if it was a black christian goon, a white christian goon, i just aint want it to seem like people be ganging on you on here.

@Brooklyn B
-
I got a strong back homey, I can carry my cross on the blog by myself. This is spiritual exercise for me...I ain't bowed or buckled yet and I been doin this for goin on two years now. Dang...it's been that long? But straight up ....I consider you and Huey Freeman friends of mine and for real though, maybe if I get out ya'lls way we can meet up and just connect. Not on no ministry tip, or save the world, or debate...but just to slap dap and show me ya'lls city or something like that. And if ya'll come out this way, I'll do the same.
-
But send me a comment or somethin on myspace and then I'll click on the page and go there to read it. If not, I'm honestly afraid I will forget. I am gonna busy for real this weekend.
-
I'm out! Gonna try and kill these last two hours by actually being productive.

I think i sent u a comment but if not i'll sent it again, but you cant miss it, its on the right hand side

The only reason is that, since there trying to ban the word and he wants to name his album that, so they wanna crucify him.

Ok yall gettin bent about Nas naming his album N!gger. But hasnt he used the word in all his albums. What are you gonna top listening to Illmatic cause he says n!gga. I guess your not going to listen to rap no more cause n!gga is everywhere. U and i have used it in our daily lives because it is in our culture. The use of the word didnt start with rap and wont end with it. AMERICA will always see you as a N!gga face it people. It dont matter how high up the corporate ladder u go. This country was built on racism.

I like nas and respect him but this is not right. I really hope he reconsider, I mean why would he do this with all the racist stuff that is happen today. Why would he give other people a right to say that word ?

Nas might just bring his whole career back bigger and better than he did with ETHER

nas must be the smartest nigga alive

Nas might just bring his whole career back bigger and better than he did with ETHER

nas must be the smartest nigga alive

Nas is D smartest nigger in the entire game he just got a chance of his lifetime to have biggest album of his career i think cause every niggas gonna cop that shit just to show whitemen what a nigger can do


this must be the best move Nas ever mad in his life

it really aint that serious.mostly just to white people who want to ride in our world cause they got small infant penises.real niggas dont fade.it would be nice if we had a larger representation of educated,successful,intelligentniggas within our communities,but due to the jealousy factor,and mankinds own envious nature,those brothas (aka niggas) got to git.Lest they become statistics.some of my real niggas need to put down your guns.everybody cant play the gangsta role.y'all been played it out.somebody's got to rep the black attorney..to save niggas...or the black c.e.o that aint uncle tom...so he can uplift niggas...damn niggas!!! just switch up a lil bit.fuck the nba dreams and d-boy life.move something new.innovate "ignant" ass niggas!! be a gangsta of a different game.it starts with knowledge (education).then proceed by staying out of the system (jail).....then get a career going (job)....after that.....all y'all niggas will bubble. good luck my niggas. and all you youngsta's.......peep game.

what the fuck homie?? thats why you will never have money dummy.....child support costs money nigga! you cant pay it with food stamps. dont corrupt whats left of the black men outside of the pen. elevate a brotha. leave them white gurls alone and find one of our sisters. uplift a black family nigga!! damn!! some of you are about as stupid as fuck.nothing intelligent to say.....ever.im tired of seeing 14 year old boys (niggas) set up for life for following the footsteps of a fucking clown.

Immortal Tech is the realest there is. Dude spits truth. Hope the G-Unit album was as good as Beg for Mercy, unlikely so almost all of G-Unit is wack. Nas trying to make a movement out of the N word is gonna fail, but hopefully the album will be good.

just wondering, what exactly is nas album going to change? nigger defines racism at its finest. never cracker or honkey. its up here, new york city, not in the south, now, that nooses are popping up everywhere and where you can still get your ass whupped for being black in the wrong neighborhood at night. his statements are counterrevolutionary. he claims intellect but from what? what books nas has ever read, that he ever pressed for someone to educate themselves with? what book did he ever write? this dude is lame, he just looking for attention. and if they Def jam, co-signs this failure, so be it. he aint getting alot of soundscans just on the strenght of that title. and Def jam aint koch, if he flops this he is the new joe buddens there. bet that.

I aggree wit Peter Griffin!!! we gotta bone dem white girlz!!!!!! Jeezy part of the movement!! he did dat "white girl" song! Polow the Don calls himself King of White Women! Kanye supports us too!!!!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the Best Rapper Alive


DROUGHT 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm in love white Birdman!Crackrocks!Elmer's Glue!
Thank God for Whiteout!!!! And every morning I have two HighLighters for breakfast

@ Moneymack

Never will no racist shit like that go down in LA, we intimidate white folks out here, and all the other races wanna be us. Its lames from the other parts of the country making blacks look bad. Take a lesson from LA, we smash on other races for coming through OUR hoods. Take a stand, if you dont wanna hear the word nigga, beat a chink, cracker, beaner, towel head up for saying it. You cant control what people say and do in their own time, but you can control what occurs in front of you.


@ cliffstone

My brotha. We at the Black Cracker Asscociation advocate the end of white supremacy by impregnating white women and getting money. Child support will NEVER have to get paid, because once the white girl has your baby, you take CUSTODY and get you a new bitch. If anything, YOU getting checks for being a single dad. All brothas are welcome to join, even if you only feeling the sistas.

@ Weezy F babbiee

We also do not advocate the use of hard drugs, although it is encouraged to get money from the white population, which not only strengthens the black community with funds, but destroys the white community because they are all on drugs.


If you are ready for the millenium version of Civil Rights, join us in our movement to end white supremacy.

Nas has a freedom of speech. He can name his album whatever he wants. If you make an album, then don't name it Nigger. Jesus, I don't know why it's such a big deal. If you want to learn a little more about his message, then why don't you just wait and listen to him, and see how he explains it? I don't know why we're all arguing about something hypothetical. That's a female trait. Bitches.

yo, niggas keep saying, "Nas giving people a pass to say Nigger"... son, if niggas were gonna say that shit regardless of this albums title. if you think no one in the world right now is saying that shit in a conversation, you're a fucking idiot. the word existed before this album, and its going to exist afterward, i cant see how dudes think this shit is going to start being spewed everywhere once the album comes out because dudes who are saying it now arent waiting for the album to come out to say it.

the only thing i'm worried about is some of the dumb audience he has not comprehending the message. people have to be smart enough to understand the dialogue in order to digest the knowledge from the album.

ALL YOU BLACK CRACKER MOVEMENT DIPSHITS:

YOU REALLY ARE FUCKING CLOWNS. THE ONLY THING YOU GONNA BE SPREADING IS THAT AIDS VIRUS. WHY DONT YOU START A MOVEMENT FOR STAYING IN SCHOOL ETC?? FUCKING CLOWNS

i see my people on dey shit that word dont mean shit to me dont get it twisted i understand that pain my peoples were slaves n all dat but feel me im not gonna let dat ish bond me like dey did my peoples were better than that word up nas ima fucks wit u beleive dat real black men stand up one NIGGA

its jus an album name peeps! there are some wack ass/immature racist motherwhats on here tho!!

I really wasn't sure what everyone was making such a big thing about before I saw the Nas Clip on CLMNEWS. I am a big Nas fan and have been for years. So many rappers use that word including Nas that I don't think it has much meaning in it's Nigga form. But I do see it as a little nasty to use a pun in it's Niger form. I think he's going to have a hard time selling it at major retailers like Wal-Mart or Target with that tittle. Even ODB cencored out his Nigga Please Album. But the clip I saw made sense and a lot of it. I think Nas is trying to generate some good buzz but ultimately if you're not a hardcore Nas he's only shooting himself in the foot. Check out the clip before anyone blasts me for being all types of stuff:
http://www.clmnews.com/Entertainment_Sub_Pages/Music/Music.html

I don't know who wrote this blog, but you seriously need to shut the fuck up and quit talking shit about Nas. It's HIS album and if he wants to call it NIGGER then he is perfectly entitled. Nas has always thought outside the box, and this controversy he's stirring up will only guarantee an at least triple-platinum album soon from Mr. Jones.

So call Nas an "arrogant dick" if you want, but at the end of this year he'll be a wealthy arrogant dick and you'll be a broke ass pussy.

Realest of talk.
