Lest Nas forget, Bill O’Reilly will remember what to call the album and him too. I hope he remembers that it is never wise to give people an opportunity to call you out of your God-given name. The whole “we are taking it back” is such a tired argument. I feel sad for Nas.

^^^Ditto everything “Loudmouth Protestant” said.

This whole thing was so moronic. How do you take back a name you never created in the first place? Stupid!

He saved the life of some YT boy in this country by changing the name of that albulm.

Diotto loudmouth protestant and bronze.

The whole point of Nas’ argument for using the word nigger is not to simply “take it back.” Nas ultimate point is to hook “the masses” with the shock value of the name, then to show them how much more they are than this hateful word. It’s so sad that free speech in this country is not truly free. It’s also sad when the so-called “educated” are just as simple-minded as those who they look down upon.

Despite the fact that many of you may not think that Nas is capable of thinking this through to try to make an album to uplift his people, listen to his latest leak from this album “N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master)”. Remember that some people are really in the music biz to teach and not just to entertain. Hip hop was like this once, but hopefully some are willing to take the lead.

Word to ill Mami, I couldn’t have said it better. If it was anyone else, then it would be the taking it back argument, but Nas is not nearly that simple minded.

I agree with ill Mami and Eric T. I don’t think Nas is so simple minded. He may have not been successful with this effort but I understood what he was trying to do.

I personally would not have called the album the N-word, but I understood what he was trying to say. Hip-Hop has so much garbage now that its refreshing to see someone try to make it political again. Actually try to make us think instead of always trying to make some stripper drop it like its hot. I really want to hear the album and draw my own conclusions.

To Ill Mami,

I just heard the track N.I.G.G.E.R.(The Slave & The Master). I like it alot. Its about time we started syaing something again. I’m tired of them crappy booty songs.

“It’s also sad when the so-called “educated” are just as simple-minded as those who they look down upon”

Oh really!

How could we take something back which was never ours to begin with.
