| if i was black and someone called me a nicca every sentence if drop kick him in the face.. how do black people care soo much about a single word, yet they call each other it every chance they get.... am i wrong to say that the n word was given to black people by slave owners? so why is it accepted to but an a at the end of it and justify using it while talking to your friends... thats why i have no sympathy for this word or the people who get offended... BLACK PEOPLE CALL EACH OTHER THE N WORD ALL THE TIME I HEAR IT 500 TIMES A DAY WHERE I LIVE AND I JUST SHAKE MY HEAD BECAUSE OF ALL THE IGNORANCE.. when will people smarten up and put taht word to rest. | |

if you really have to interject and then reply using something that wasn't discussed then it's clear you don't know how to comprehend what was being brought up. Last edited by Cheeze; 12-27-2012 at 11:16 AM.. | |||

Peace to all, With all do respect to you all, Nas is NOBODY’s slave. This is not the 1800′s, respect me and I will respect you. I won’t even tap dance around in an email, I will get right into it. People connect to the Artist @ the end of the day, they don’t connect with the executives. Honestly, nobody even cares what label puts out a great record, they care about who recorded it. Yet time and time again its the executives who always stand in the way of a creative artist’s dream and aspirations. You don’t help draw the truth from my deepest and most inner soul, you don’t even do a great job @ selling it. The #1 problem with DEF JAM is pretty simple and obvious, the executives think they are the stars. You aren’t…. not even close.
Lupe on “The Show Goes On”: “I was specifically told” — Fiasco chuckled — “‘Don’t rap too deep on this record.’” He laughed some more. “That was a specific order from the top. do u need more proof? | ||||||||

niccas always wanna fight over this dumb !! (who can say "nicca" and who can't) But when it comes time to fight for some !! that really matter, suddenly everybody disappears. Or they waiting for somebody else to do it. Most old black folks that I know, the niccas who actually been through some racial !! in this country, don't even use that word. I saw an old black lady spazz on some young niccas in the gas station just last week over that !!. -- But to get back on topic. Art is art and the truer to life it is (in some cases), the better. So long as the word don't seem out of place, or forced, then there's no issue. Tarantino has a way of doing pulling it off realistically and tastefully in his films. The context is always right. I don't get upset with him, the same way I'm not upset about the use of the word in "The Godfather" films If you've ever met old Italian dudes, you know what they think of black people. So it wasn't out of place in those films and it worked. The thought of Tarantino telling a slave story without the use of the word would be more absurd than anything to me. | ||

I see my comments are affecting you cause you have to throw slick jabs at me like I'm not as intelligent as you but if you believe that society makes you buy expensive shoes and doesn't allow people to make progressive, uplifting, intelligent music then you're as brainwashed as your friends who buy shoes because "society" markets it to them and apparently they just can't help themselves. Quite sad honestly. Never did I say music creativity ISN'T hindered. I said both of you tried to act like the ONLY popular music made is that which is degrading your culture. It's not true. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Of course companies are going to want something that's going to SELL. That's the whole point of putting out a product. Why would you be in a business if not to make a profit? Your lack of comprehension is un-settlng at this point. I'm sure you'll pick and choose what to reply to [pic] Last edited by Cheeze; 12-27-2012 at 11:50 AM.. | ||

| The film takes places in the south during slavery; what would you suppose they called black people then? Wouldn't it be awkward if the word was avoided? I guess all the music I listen to has desensitized my reaction to the word. | |
