Nas's "Be A Nigger Too" uses the N-word a bit
Hip-Hop Isn't Dead, Music News, Video
After all that fuss over his plan to name his new album Nigga, Nas’s new track isn’t exactly shying away from using the N-word. Indeed what he’s saying, basically, is that black people are his niggers.
But it’s not just black people who are his niggers. Other people who are Nas’s niggers include:
- “KIKES”
- “CHINKS”
- “SPICS”
- “GUINEAS”
They’re all niggers together, see?
Is Nas breaking ground by using the N-word in such a blatant yet inclusive manner? Not sure. It sure gets a lot of attention though. And the track is pretty tight.
Rik Cordero directs the video, which is eight minutes long and has two minutes worth of credits over black and white imagery. Lest you be in any doubt as to how serious the point being made is, like.
