Did he flip flop? His answer sounded pretty sure and straight forward to me, albeit layred. Just because he didn’t throw up a simple slogan as to the how’s and why’s of the album title doesn’t mean he was unclear. It’s a complicated and nuanced issue and his answers reflected that.

7. jarell Says:

yo riz man i respect you but this is just pure hate right there! he didnt flip flop he was on point 100% he answered the question intelligently although he said ” you know wha mean” quite a lot but he was on point! so please tell us why the hate?

8. Crystal Says:

atleast he’s “man” enough to claim the word. They are alot of people who act and think like N*** and they are the most affected when a white person uses the word.

9. Dangerous Science Says:

“Hopefully some people can get something out of it, if not, so what?”

That’s exactly the whole point…don’t hate on Nas…it didn’t sound like he wuz struggling, his explanation wuz simple and clear 4 me 2 understand. So either support the album and listen 2 what he gotta say, or just don’t buy it…it’s not like he’s forcin’ things down our throats.

11. Episode Says:

15. Kas Says:

@ Crystal Who Said:

“There are alot of people who act and think like Ni**as’ and they are the most affected when a white person uses the word.”

18. Clearly Says:

Just a word
The childhood monster in the closet.
Fear it,hide from it
