I’m black. And I hate racist comments on TV. I don’t like Fox and I hate O’Reilly. But the more I listen to Nas, the more I see that there is a hypocrisy in his arguments.
• When asked about Fox news being racist his response was only about O’Reilly making me think this was more of a personal grudge therefore hurting his arguments credibility.
• He is essentially angry about racially irresponsible comments on TV right. But yet he wants to call his album nigger. And he believes because he is black and grew up around the word. Its OK for him to say? Uh Nas I think you are perpetuating stereotypes by deepening the divide. The whole point of not being racist is recognizing that we are all the same and deserve the same opportunities, no matter where we come from.
• He is counteracting the words of others by doing a formal petition. There are plenty of rap lyrics I disagree with and bother me greatly, how should I fight that. I doubt a petition would work.
• I don’t think you need to destroy to rebuild.
• If your scheduled program of songs were inappropriate during a sensitive time. I could understand why you were not chosen to perform at the event. I think your just mad cause you lost the gig and are now trying to save face.
• Complaining so publicly about Fox makes them more popular. Free publicity!
• Lastly the song you performed on Conan was wack. So rambly it sounded like a freestyle. I don’t think the bass line changed. No harmonic key changes. Sounded like an 8 measure loop I could make in 20 mins in garage band. Predictable phrases, I expected to hear. (Unplugged, think outside the box) As a piece of music…seriously lacking!
