So says Nas draped in his fresh, new “N-word” tee at the Grammys. In celebration of his forthcoming album, originally titled “N-Word”. Peeps are making all sort of serious statements ‘n shit deez days. NSFW (not safe for whitey)

It’s all experiences we go through everyday of all ethnicities. White, black, indifferent.”

We’ve all at some point felt discriminated on whether it’s in the Dominican Republic, whether it’s in China whether it’s in Iraq wit soldiers gettin’ dey heads blown off for reasons we don’t know why. And you know the meaning of the word is supposed to be “ignorant”.

Word is bond. No argument there.

So there’s money being made off us “poor”, “innocent, so-called “ignorant” people so no longer are just black people n****as today. It’s also me and you.

But making money off us poor, innocent, and ignorant people is what makes the rims go ’round. It’s what Street Dreams is made of. Who am I to disagree?

This is a whole new channel. That train has left the station…what I’m thinking about is a more current issue….

It’s time for a new President to come in office and abolish this thing that only allows black people to vote for another 23 years. Whoever can abolish this thing that doesn’t allow black people to vote after 23 years from now.

???

Anybody feel free to clue me in to that one. Anybody at all. All I know is that since I am also an n-word now that my vote is in jeopardy too. So whatever this thing is that keeps me from voting in 23 years, I’m down with abolishing it too.

It’s probably the same thing that’s keeping me from voting this year – the Republican Party.

I like the non sequitur at the end where his beotch grabs the mic to drop some serious unrelated knowledge about John Lennon writing “Woman Is The N-Word of the World”. That was 1972.

So much for Instant KKKarma.

What’s old (school) is new (school) again UPDATE: I’d almost forgotten about N.W.A. releasing ‘Niggaz4Life’ wayback in 1989 1991. I should have since I worked at Sam Goody for about 2 months at the time.

Back then, N.W.A.’s album was originally released as “Efil4zaggin” out of fear of being censored by Al and Tipper Gore. Still, it debuted at Number #2 on the Billboard Charts. Now, almost 20 years later, Nas is stealing the creative Alpine stereo out of N.W.A.’s racebaiting ’64 Impala.

Congrats Nas, you are truly standing on the shoulders of n-words. A pioneer - just like them. Twenty years ago. Doing the exact same stunt.
