kurt Says: November 12th, 2007 at 4:17 pm 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. |

Crystal Says: November 12th, 2007 at 4:44 pm 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. |

Dangerous Science Says: November 12th, 2007 at 4:47 pm “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. |
