04/21/08 - Nas Drops Controversial Song "Be A Ni**er Too" Calls Out All Races

Speak · 04-21-2008, 12:58 PM

Queensbridge rapper has just released a new song titled "Be A Ni**er Too," a track from his highly anticipated album, Ni**er.

The single "Be A Ni**er Too" is the first official release from Nas’ album, which has drawn intense scrutiny due to the album’s simple, yet controversial title.

The lyrics on "Be A Ni**er Too" gives listeners a glimpse into the direction Nas’ album may take.

On the track, which was produced by Salaam Remi and Big Jack, Nas makes his stance on the N-word clear through his lyrics and a slowed down delivery.

"The real Ni**ers are back on the radio," Nas says, before launching into his verse.

"Not mad cause Eminem said Ni**er/Cause he’s my Ni**er/Wigger/******* friend/We all black within/ We all African within/Some African’s don’t like us no way/A killin happened in Johannesburg yesterday.”

In a song that could be a lighting rod for controversy, Nas references the tragic murder of reggae star Lucky Dube in Johannesburg in October of 2007 and in the same line, name check’s the NAACP.

The hook for the song is a play on Dr. Pepper’s famous "Wouldn’t You Like to Be a Pepper Too" advertising slogan.

"I’m a Ni**er/He’s a Ni**er/she’s a Ni**er /we’s some Ni**ers/wouldn’t you like to be a Ni**er too," Nas raps.

On the rest of the chorus, Nas name check’s Jews (Kike Ni**ers), Hispanics (**** Ni**ers), Italians (Guinea Ni**ers) and Asians (Chink Ni**ers), by using their respective racial epitaphs and embraces them as his Ni**ers.

“They like to strangle Ni**ers/blame a Ni**ers/shoot a Ni**er/hang a Ni**er/still you wanna be a Ni**er too?/True.”

Nas' upcoming album Ni**er is due in stores this year on Island Def Jam, a unit of Universal Music Group.

black ice 07 · 04-21-2008, 03:33 PM

Damn he is fucking crazy. Pepsi going to sue him and he'll cathc some serious backlash for that shit but that's what America needs right now. America needs to be woken back up. Hopefully Nas stick to the concept so these young fucks can learn what Gangsta rap orginally was which was speaking about the environment you grew up in and bringing shit out the dark that the public doesn't want to acknowledge. This some PE NWA Ice cube shit right here. Watch the NAACP and the media throw shots at him and in turn promote him.
