“No Slacking, No Begging, No Asking”

I first saw Nas’ new “Artwork” For the now untitled but classically named Nigger album last night and I was shocked, astonished, and amazed all at once! We (the educated) knew they (the cracker controlled music business) were gonna threaten to pull Nas’ new album from the big chains (read white stores) if he didn’t change the album title.

Once again.. the big homey may have just had a “genius moment” and sent a big fuck you to Wal-Mart, K-mart and the entire music industry.

I have always been shocked at how people who have not been ancestors of slaves, slaves themselves, or are associated in anyway always seem to been “offended” and “appalled” at blacks usage of the word “Nigger”. They’d rather we dress it up with an “a” as in nigga and say that its our term of endearment and say dumb shit like “if you say it, then why can’t we?”.

Maybe this new album will help you to understand the oppression, that black people have been through and clearly show you that if cannot share in our experiences then you are not welcome to use the word in any shape form or fashion.

Maybe the record labels will now see that we do not accept shit like Jimmy Iovine’s blatant Rock and Roll “Nigger” as a song title and their stand offish attitude to Nasir’s use of “Kike Nigger”, Spic Nigger”, Guinea Nigger” “Chink Nigger”. Why is it when they do it, it is to be considered art but when we do it is it “Blackxpoitation“….

It’s wonderful to see how uncomfortable white Amerikkka is when their chickens come home to roost. You who created the word “Nigger” will now have to look not at the words, but the history of slavery everytime you hear any of Nas’ new songs coming from your children’s cracker ass speakers or any of the lyrics coming from their mouths.. Does that make you uncomfortable???  I wonder why….

Food For Thought:

I believe the artwork is more than just a metaphor for the actual word that the music industry wont allow to be printed. Could it be more symbolic than when Prince wrote “Slave” on his face?? Could this be a call to examine why “WE” (the artists) who clearly have the talent continue to slave away for the “Master” (the major labels) only to be clearly robbed of our aspirations, our desires, visions, and benefits and above all unless you are the good house “nigger”, to never own what is rightfully your art, your “masters” ???

I leave you with this question: “They like to blame the Nigger, Strangle Niggers, Shooting Niggers, Hanging Niggers, Still you wanna be a Nigger too?”

Congrats on the ‘coup Nasir… tre’ magnifique!

What I’m Listening To…

“Do You Have Some Black In You? Would You Like Some?”- Kanye

I don’t mess with too much alternative/hipster/retro/electro/miscellaneous Hip Hop but this I can live with!

I couldn’t stand the original but the “Everybody Nose” remix features CRS (Kanye & Lupe) and a major look from the Clipse’s own Pusha T who absolutely murders the verse!!!

Who would’ve thunk Pharrell likes songs about coke???
