Someone explain exactly what he is trying to achieve? Not your theory, what HE himself is trying to achieve.I don't want to hear sell as many albums as possible or get his name out there, because that is just waste. Allow selling yourself as a jester to stay in the king's presence. You will only forever remembered as a clown by those with sense, and praised by other jesters.

what he's aiming to achieve sems to be working to me.
I think that has already been acheived for quite some time by the debate that has been doing onHowever this will get MORE people talking, who otherwise wouldnt be..
Exactly..In addition to that, it's gonna be under even more scrutiny just for the blatent and flagrant use of it coming from a rapper of Nas' stature.

I don't see the problem in it tbh.Re-interpreting a word thats been associated with a race of people into something everyone can identify is a good thing in my eyes.I'm not to surprised about the execution because the bottom line is Nas is an American, so there's always gonna be a weef of self glorification in anything he does.I would wear that t-shirt.

You're a doughnut if you believe Nas is doing this from the bottom of his heart for reasons other than shock value to generate more profit from album sales.Shame on you thick f*cks.

You are a clown. You can never erase the history or re shape a word. You would be prepared to walk around and get called nigger by other ethnicities? If so, you are a donut.

LMAO.Sick guy.
Just out of interest, what is good about what he did?
I thnk that MAYBE apart from obviously getting publicity for his album, he's trying to bring more attention to the way we treat and use the word nigger.Because the conservative way of looking at it, is getting boring and tedious.Constantly moaning, saying 'coon', ''it's taking us 100 years back'' is about as productive as the people who use it in the 1st place...
Not being rude or nothing but there are some people in these current time that dont like the way the old things were working so decide to go to the opposite extreme and think "yeah this is what we need to do. The old way wasnt working so this is the new sh*t" and lose all morals in doing so 'cause its the 21st century and radical is whats in. The major flaw in this is it comes across as forced and because you tried so hard to be different, you disregarded what was working before therefore, you lose in most casesThen there are others that see whats wrong, tweak it a little but still maintain the moral side of things therefore achieving better results at the end of the day because it still maintains the old way so the old people are still on board but in updating it you have brought new people on board without alienating anyone that was previously down with your movement.Obviously you have ones that dont have an opinion and just swing with the majority.Guess which one best describes you?In answer to your other question, I never use that dreadful word and as you know I correct those that use it to me

d*ckhead comment that wasn't needed.Bar that, I'd agree with most of what you said, but you always need 2 extremes and a steady median...It's ALWAYS been like that.The Civil Rights Era is testament to that...

Maybe it wasnt needed but I didnt want you to miss my point. All I'm saying is try to be a bit more like the second person and things will move smoothly. Nas is the 1st person in this scenario. The only way is 'cause of the 3rd people. Civil Rights movement from how I understand it wasnt as extreme. You had MLK saying we're Black, we want rights and we'll turn the cheek if a man abuses us and you had Mr X saying I'm Black but I'll box you back. Neither were saying "f*ck being Black we are all people. If the White man is treating us like this, then so be it"

You don't realise the prominence that word has in society? How can you say you will wear a shirt saying the word which is so disrespectful. As soon as you wear that you are claiming you are inferior, and are an idiot. You may not tihnk it's an issue, but you are one more person acting the fool, and therefore making one more person that little more likely to perceive all blacks in the same way.

No, I am neither nor will be ANY of those people you mentioned. I am the guy who recognises that even though the term has it's negative history and that in SOME instances, should never be used by ANYONE, I UNDERSTAND the manner in which it's being used nowadays and how it is different.I ain't trying to bring about change because there things with FAR more importance which need to be looked at rather than people catching feelings over Nas wearing a t-shirt with the word Nigger on it. You REALLY wanna bring about change, then do something about it. Don't moan, don't bitch. Do something. Simple. Let's not get into complications. Because the reason I rate Nas about this, is the fact that people are talking about it right now. There's a debate going somewhere RIGHT now discussing it. That's not to say there wasn't before but these types of debates have become more frequent since this whole started.Now, if Nas were to NOT get ANY sort of reaction, THEN it would've been dumb because it was all in vain...
