I say it as much as possible.

 

[Striving For Greatness]

Good for you nikka

 

[OVER]

There was a time when I tried to stop saying it but it was like being the only person to bother taking off their shoes to respect a carpet while everyone else was tracking dirt everywhere, the floor is dirty and ain't no changing it everyone else decided not to give a fukk. It didn't seem to matter or change things and it felt cathartic to say things the way I truly felt it.

I don't use it either , mostly because im not ADOS plus i dont be using slang in general.

Please don’t call us that

You got to expand your vocabulary as you get older. When you around certain people you reflect them and for some people they're bad habits stick with you till your not around them any more. Hell , I used to cuss bad in middle and high school even I got on my own damn nerves ; shyt I had to check myself.

It's like I did when I made an effort to lessen my profanity usage. I learned to control it in certain and important place and spaces. But let me get around my "day 1s" from back home, and all that goes out the window.

I don’t care how beautiful a woman is, if she refers to black men as n words she’s a bird to me.

“ See, nikka first was used back in the Deep South
Falling out between the dome of the white man's mouth
It means that we will never grow, you know the word dummy
Other nikkas in the community think it's crummy
But I don't, neither does the youth cause we
Em-brace adversity it goes right with the race
And being that we use it as a term of endearment
nikkas start to bug to the dome is where the fear went
Now the little shorties say it all of the time
And a whole bunch of nikkas throw the word in they rhyme
Yo I start to flinch, as I try not to say it
But my lips is like the oowop as I start to spray it
My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it
My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it .. “

I think people say it less when they get older because they aren't around their homies as much and more immersed in occupations and settings where it's not ok to say. Plus it's in all the songs and some people come from family that says it all the time. Its definitely something said in an informal setting like most profanity.
If you made this same thread in 2012 the response would be way different.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I never say it. It's a word that just never made it's way into my lexicon. I obviously don't want to hear other races use it, but, honestly, I don't enjoy hearing other black people use the word either. I wonder if the word will ever fall "out of style," and why it hasn't fallen out of style like "negro," or "colored." Maybe because it was popularized by rap music, but why that word. Something I think about from time to time.

Rap music really made it popular to the masses and made nonblacks think they were "down" or "cool" by saying it. That would is even being over used in R&B
