Did Nas catch heat when he released Black Girl Lost?

[Brolic]

I was only 2 when the song came out.
That song has many of the same talking points Kevin Samuels and the manosphere discuss.
Did Nas get called lame or get accused of hating black women when he made the song?

 

[Turbulent]

Not really.

The main shot was when jay said "is it oochie wally or is it one mic, is it black girl lost or shorty owe you for ice" basically calling him a hypocrite

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Nope

 

[315]

People didn't really stress shyt like that. I was only 12 though so I guess I wouldn't really know either

 

[xoxodede]

No.

"many of the same talking points Kevin Samuels" -- like what?

Black Girl Lost is just that -- about ONE Black Girl Lost. She was selling sex - and using men for material items - like they were using her for sex. She messes with drug dealers and men with money.

 

[saturn7]

Not really IIRC.

It was regarded as a good "cautionary tale"/conscious type track.

"many of the same talking points Kevin Samuels" -- like what?

Making poor decisions and choosing the wrong men.

Yeah, since online message boards havent evolved yet, brothas was out in the corners and barbershops giving nas heat about a song ramifying young sistas plights and the social constructs of their upbringing/questionable life choices.

Shahrazad Ali was the Kevin Samuels before Kevin Samuels


Shahrazad Ali was the Godmother of the Black Manosphere talking points

I'm sure Kevin Samuels was taking notes

Kinda.

i think the “is it oochie wally or one mic” line is saying oochie wally is like a dumb superficial song without any deeper meaning and one mic is trying to be like a profound and deep rap song. like hes saying nas is taking himself too seriously

 

[King Poetic]

No.. song didn’t even get attention


the album dropped middle of summer of 96

tupac hit ‘em up dropped a month earlier and it was a wrapped for other artist outside of pac and big that summer and then pac death a few months later and it was crazy here in LA at that time

 

[Coli Bot]
