    Did he flip flop? His answer sounded pretty sure and straight forward to me, albeit layred. Just because he didn’t throw up a simple slogan as to the how’s and why’s of the album title doesn’t mean he was unclear. It’s a complicated and nuanced issue and his answers reflected that.

    atleast he’s “man” enough to claim the word. They are alot of people who act and think like N*** and they are the most affected when a white person uses the word.

    “Hopefully some people can get something out of it, if not, so what?”

    That’s exactly the whole point…don’t hate on Nas…it didn’t sound like he wuz struggling, his explanation wuz simple and clear 4 me 2 understand. So either support the album and listen 2 what he gotta say, or just don’t buy it…it’s not like he’s forcin’ things down our throats.

  • what?

    Are you people retarded? Nas clearly sounds like a complete moron and it is hilarious that this subhuman thinks he can call those that are racist unintelligent. Well it would be hilarious if blacks were not worthless ruining western culture and raping and murdering White people.

    Back to Africa you should all go, the land where your ‘peeps’ cannot even built a proper hut.
