I'm Calling Bullshit, Nas!!!

Editor's Note: Yesterday I lost the last TWO WEEKS worth of posts. I'll spare y'all the details but I wanted re-post this and a few of the other recent drops I posted. My bad...

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a big Nas fan and if you don't know me take my word for it--I am. But when it comes down to keeping my reputation as a keep-it-realist and maintaining my admiration for a favorite artist of mine, I'd rather call a spade a spade. I think we're giving Nas too much credit. I think at this point it's safe to say he's talking out his ass and that there's no profound statement to be made by an album called Nigger. I've talked shit all my life and I'll be damned if I don't know when someone's pulling some shit out their ass and dis nigga here is blowin' hotter steam than glory hole

When Nas dropped Hip Hop is Dead I like many others believed Nas in his heart of heart believed it. Otherwise, why would he say it. There's the obvious tailwind of media coverage he received from it and of course the dialogue that came from it which also in itself may have generated some scans, but Nas using a market scheme to sell records??? I couldn't go for that--not the one-time child prodigy who made Illmatic. To me, Nas represents the essence of Hip Hop but after viewing this video I'm starting feel like I/we got plizaid. Also, lol @ the reporter skirting around saying nigger. That's right white girl. That's a no no, just kidding white constituent or am I??? Don't try that shit out with me though; no telling how a nigga would react. But, viewing the video when she asked him about the statement he wanted to make last year with HHID he said "that's been done. I appreciate the response I got from that but this is a whole new chapter. That train has left the station," hardly the response of someone who actually believed in the statement Hip Hop is Dead, right. I never thought I'd go use slickback as an example but I'd be damned when I/we would see the day that Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson when given the chance to speak on an issue they championed in the past blow it off like eh, that's over, whatever.

Then, whenever someone asks him to explain the concept he can barely put together a cohesive thought. I mean what's good Nas??? Anytime someone calls bullshit on it, it's like naw it's Nas. I know he's going to have some deep shit to say but when asked who the dude was voting for he couldn't even just feign throwing up the O. Bullshit!!! And if you watch the video to the end Kelis makes reference to John Lennon's track "Woman is the Nigger of the World" but if you watch this you'll see that the same message Nas is communicating (niggers = the ig'nant and/or disenfranchised people of the world) is seconded by the chap his wife bass acwardsly threw a dagger at. Are we saying, him and wifey aren't on the same page or does dude not even know what statement he's making anymore? I'm hoping that there's some deep shit on the album but shit's looking bleaker than a Fat Joe song that's likeable. What do yall think?

Next Nas album title: Hip Hop is God's Nigger.

Update: Nas speaks more on the album title on Jamie Foxx's show.
