I am @ a lost for words..
will reply we I regroup my thoughts
WoW…
WOOOOW
honestly..i dont know what to say to this..
sooo strong..damn nas…just damn!
i must get this album..i didnt even listen to this song b4 until the video..and i..like the person b4 said..i will seriously have to come back to this after i gather my thoughts
Nice track, but damn, 8:30 min video and half that sh*t was credits.
Nas coming out so strong. Resuming his place on top of the game.
Nas is the truth, the truth a lot of people want to ignore but the truth no less.
This is beyond music, this is full on art.
This song is strong, looksl NaS put alot of thought into this
yeah man!
i cant even see it right now at work but im glad to see the positive feedback
told yall nas is no joke.
just listen to the words!
Yall buying into this hoopla nas is spitting, but as soon as you’re called a Nigger or if someone on TV has a slip of the tongue Motherfuckers want to riot and protest….You’re all Sheep and don’t know what movement you want to follow!!
Pure Genius!…This is what Hip Hop is about!..Nas you are the man!..Virgos Rule!
Fuck all these wack ass rappers…LIL Wayne, Jeezy!, Rick Ross!…..Leave the premises!..Hip Hop is Back for real!
Just a few months back everyone was in a uproar because black women were called “Nappy Headed Hoes” I guess if he had called them Niggers it would have been excepted????
Excellent!!!
People need to have the REAL truth spit to them as a reminder!!! Only when things go bad to people want a answer or solution. People need to be reminded of their history and struggle more often to make their progress achievable.
Can’t wait for the album. I am going to cop the bootleg and then the album when it drops. Just keeping it real.
man…Nasir Jones is the truth….the message is profound – can’t wait for the album to drop….hip hop has never seen anything like this before….and probably will never see anything like this again (hopefully no one tries to copy cat the format which will only marginalize the message).
nujerudevil are you white? if so does the video force you to face the truth of some of the harsh acts of your ancestors? you may have a hard time subjectively viewing the genius of this short film. Nas fan or not the message is strong and I see him attempting to help discriminated minorities to stop allowing the sting of the word to make us feel demeaned or to own its ignorance. Maybe you prefer rap that makes black people look and sound like ignorant niggers. Or maybe you are black with little sense of history. Or maybe I am just reaching but none the less this is an epic video.
^^^^^YOU’RE REACHING………………DONT WORRY…NAS WILL CONTRADICT HIMSELF SOON ,SOME HOW…………HE ALWAYS DOES
^^^^
Nas is human like everyone else, so yes, I’m sure he will contradict himself, we all do to some degree. Why would he be any different or held to different standards?
I don’t think too many of yall is really analyzing NAS words correctly. Well it dont matter.

1st and foremost let me just address this dude….. then i’ll add my thoughts….
my friend have you ever hear the saying…. do not hate what you do not understand…?
This is more then just a word being put out there it’s a calling on a cultural division of being contained with in a limit…!!!
Nas has taken the word from the beginning and the power of ownership it had to show class and power other a culture…..yes it will be hard to take in from any race as this is a powerful word and if you look at it as why are they making such a big deal over it and it’s just a word then you are truly uneducated to see the real message behind it…..!
sometimes i think why should i even bother replying to silly people who just want to write off something with a deeper meaning but if i don’t try and make those understand to open their mind wider and sit there and think about the words and images in front of you a little bit longer your have more then one answer to an issue then just fuck nas he’s being a wanker…. and this is so played out….
THINK a little more and you might get the message…!!!
Luv it !
NO
im a nigger nujerudevil a nigga and everybody else is a nigger cuz like he said we all started from africa man this song hits deep type of shit nas might get killed over
let me take that back cuz like lil wayne said when u great you dont get killed u get assassinated
