haven't cared about this stupid issue at all, but it's always amusing to hear Nas' incense stand intellectual ass make a mind-numbingly stupid comment.

well hundreds of years ago white people would spit in black faces yelling ******.

now white people want to say nikka just to fit in.

black people definitely arent losing lol

Are you this pitifully naive and ignorant? Are you even black?

With all that said, as usual, stuff like this gets too much traction. Meanwhile, the injustices that do occur and are extremely detrimental don't get the proper attention. She should not have tweeted that because everyday living is not Hollywood. It's not their circle of friends where the sting of that word is removed because they're all on the same playing field. Quite frankly, whatever "pass" she has is not extended to the entirety of the black community where there are significant segments of the population that dislike the usage of the word period.

I barely say it anymore so I'll be damned if every white person that walks past me feels they can say it. Out of respect for people who are not cool with the word being used she should not have said it. With that said, I have friends that have used the word around me before who are white (they don't do it frequently) and I don't get upset or think much of it because I know those guys would go to war with me before most people would. So I can understand what Ye, Hov and Nas are saying.

But they would never even dream of rapping along those lyrics or saying those things outside of our circle or in front of my parents, etc. She was wrong for not recognizing that we still haven't figured just what we want that word to mean and how we want it to exist in our society, in any of its forms. I'm sure Em, Paul Wall and others use it around their friends but they would not do it in a public forum. There's nothing more public than the internet these days. That's my two cents.

It should not be getting this much traction. But she was still wrong to an extent.

I'm pretty sure she didn't mean any harm by this, but it doesn't change the fact that her comments were incredibly stupid, insensitive, and disrespectful. And its not hard to see why some would be offended.

I personally don't care about what she said, but people in here trying to justify it make me sick.

People making this issue more than what it should. These cats should have just pulled her aside and tell her to not tweet that or say that because its a bad look and theres a high chance you may get hurt. You don't have to disown her, you don't have to start dissing her or punch her in the face, Just a simple check and she most likely would have followed.

He gave Eminem a pass, too.

But, I didn't know this:

A fan wrote to the artist, "Uhhh.You know you are not supposed to use that word right?" and The-Dream responded:

"Fyi Sorry for the Confu I typed Ni**as in paris for real from Gwens Phone my bad I was Fkd up please excuse it! We were lit!"

He continued on to make several comments about the usage of the n-word.

"Context is everything. Meaning it in the context as a Song which is how we Sold it to the world!!!!!! it is what it is."

"I've seen people not use the Word at all and have been the most racist people rather than use it in the context as the song it self."

So let me get this right. Camron said he would R.Kelly his daughter and he did nothing, Pac came to Central Park 15 deep and he wanted a handshake, 50 said he was sucker simp for love and he did nothing, Jim Jones said he was gonna smack kufi's off his head and he did nothing but he's willing the buck up and hit someone over some white chick for saying nikka?
