AllHipHop.com Talks To Al Sharpton About Nas

[TheJTeazy]

lmao he just doesnt understand.....

[BalticRedBP]

A little ironic that he's at a premiere of american gangster

[bootylicification]

Obama stated that the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the Supreme Court didn’t bring about redistributive change. watch?v=Sj4yIE9Dd90 He told Joe the Plumber in 2008, that he wanted to spread the wealth around. watch?v=PUvwKVvp3-o

.

Obama is a socialist. He took over the automobile, mortgage, banking, and health care industries via legislation and regulation. Govt is expected to own 70% up from 19% in 2008.

..

[bootylicification]

Al Sharpton believes that a vote for Obama was a vote for socialism. watch?v=KCpINI5aVy0 Al Sharpton wants to share the wealth. “Al Sharpton: We Won't Have True Social Justice Until Everything is Equal in Everybody's House” watch?v=95bcEb1rV18

.

Sharpton should start by giving up his $5 million (from celebrity net worth com) It’s also worth noting Hilter was a socialist that seemed to follow the Communist Manifesto.

.

[aaronite03]

How about ppl listen to the album before casting judgment on what nas means or what he hopes to do with an album title nigga.

IF u listen to the album u can see an accurate and thorough evaluation of the word and of the state of being black in america. i feel as tho it was no ploy because listening to the album i see the purpose and see the direction.

[iEmGhost]

Al Sharpton is righit , even though most ignorants wouldn't wanna admit it .

[MrXplizit22]

well said @RobertsDigital!

[djmmcee]

Shut up, Mr. Brawley.

[kwood691]

First of all. Why is it that no other race of people are disrespecting themselves with negative slang words used to degrade humiliate a race of people. I find very disturbing when my young black people believe its ok to use this word in public when there parents and grandparents have fought and died to not be associated with that hurtfull and violent word. Young peeps have the luxury of not running for their life by a group of white men using that word. Never forget. Period.

[101jesus]

al sharpton is fony and nas is the best ! even we know that in ethiopia:)

[FroggieFreshChannel]

yea...i gotta back door on wat ol dude said about white boys and racial slurrs...i went to an all white high skool and the only rascist white boys were the lil punk ass one's with no life and low self esteem, jealous because black men are takin all there girls HAHAAA..

[juline91]

im tired of this "N" word bullshit. he just need to except the fact that ppl are goin 2 say it. i belive if u a grown ass women or man u can say what you want and he cant stop everybody from sayin it cuz even if he does all these old niggas gonna find somethin else to complain about... uhh baggy pants violence in music etc.

[RobertsDigital]

@juline91 most white boys can use the word nigger behind their computers because they are all pussies. You know when a little mouse is hiding across a river with a cat on the opposite side the mouse can shout all kinds of insults to the cat. Thats exactly what white boys always do behind their coputers. The attitude of white boys these days portray depression and jealously on their part, thats why they do that. Sad an depressed people enerally use racial slurs to cheer them up.

[RobertsDigital]

I dont ever bother to go into arguements with these sad white boys.

A normal white guy wouldn't be racist! He has other important and creative things think about.

A depressed white boy will always use the N word thinking thats a way in which he can get satisfaction and yes he is quite certain he is well hidden behind his computer.

[TeachingsofEvil]

@RobertsDigital you could probably back up your point if your nigger ass could spell right

[mysterymediacorp]

@TeachingsofEvil tell 'em honkey !

[Kali4nia92]

shut up al please blow it out your assits just an album name

[Pusher786]

@Kali4nia92 Its not just a name. Sharpton is absolutely right. @Pusher786

It's NOT a freedom of speech issue! 'Freedom of speech' is a red herring! People like Nas etc may call his album for political or pr reasons, regardless it's a bastard of a word and it's used to add negative connotations to people of colour.Don't f***ing accept it!

[1Weltschmerz]

Talking animals, useless apes, walkin talkin tootsi roll

is better than then being called nigga.

[ElLoca69]

wats the point of calling an album a derogatory slave term

[thriller79]

cause he can

[ElLoca69]

but that doesnt make it right... I love Nas I do he is like one of the best original rappers out there but calling an Album Nigga ... not called for but this is just my view

[thriller79]

what is the reason behind naming the album that? I read a book by Randal canady i think and it was titled "nigger" it was about the history of the word. perhaps this is the same thing nas was trying to do. I'm very hesitant when it comes to celebs and their political veiws though, to many fake ones that have been a disapointment over the years! Not saying nas is, i don't really know anything about him but now i'm curious.

[juline91]

@ElLoca69 i can see that u dont understand the would nigga negro or nigger

[ElLoca69]

I understand it but it doesnt mean i have to agree with it. I just feel personally that we should live in a world without labels but this is just my view obviously we cannot ignore where the word nigger derived from but i dont think it should still be in use the word should just become archaic

[juline91]

yea who would wanna be labeled. i feel where your coming from but @ the same time n america its always gonna be that way if everybody in the world was all white or all black etc. ppl would still find a way to discriminate against the next man/women

[ElLoca69]

i feel you btw it was sick album in the end

[mcnabj]

al dumbfuck sharpton is a racist white hatting donkey. He's fucking rich as hell b/c of Amerikkka. stupid fuck should be careful he doesn't keep biting the hand that feeds him. Fuck Al " i hate whitey" Sharpton. Fucking coward. Burn in hell.

[juline91]

yea al sharpton is a dumbass everytime he talks im like shut the hell up

[Velvetgoldmine92]

NOBODY LIKES YOU, AL SHARPTON

[CowboyKilla89]

NASTY NAS!!! FUCK AL

[ckondiah]

If it was not for the word NIGGA Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would not have Jobs, hey Al, that perm is mighty WHITE of ya. What is the difference between Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson,and David Duke, nothing they all racist. Revolution is needed for the powers that be

[mcmike1989]

Personally, I am glad this N----- CD was never released. The only people who would have been happy with this (if this were to be released) would be racists who hate black people. I would like to know what the hell is so positive about using a slur like that on anything or anyone. Seems like no one who was in support of this dumb and desperate move Nas tried to do either don't want or simply don't have an answer to. And Sharpton, personally aside, is all about equal rights, unlike Nas is.

[mkrulz77]

what does this nigga do?

[BarFAN21]

be a nigga, hes a a fool

[babsjnr]

shut up, be a nigga is fucking nice

[BarFAN21]

i want to be just black, not a nigga, nigga is degrading

[bentinho]

"al sharpton and jessie jackson are not the presidents of black people"

[hetnhdf]

ok guy when are you going to do what you said about the black rappers useing these bad words let get going you can just talk to them and hope they will listen to you you have to get them banned from singing

[mightyblack1]

This motherfucker was on a National black radio show saying that the Jena 6 situation wasn't about black or white and this perm wearing pot belly fool knew he was lying from out of the side his neck when he said that and the host let him slide with it.

[macetube17]

all the people who say they wont buy nas album were clearly never real nas fans to begin with cause if youve been really listening to nas you know he aint jus gonna name his album nigger and talk about some ignorant shit. WHAT NAS STANDS FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF they dont understand

[patrickbad]

I love nads. I think nads are great.

[finleytravon]

who the fuck are u to complain about nas cd, no he dont changed it because of old black ignorant people like u, who is this guy, hangin up nooses, this is 2008, i never seen a blck man hung before n niether did u, its time for us 2 put the past behind us n change people, thers nothing we can do to get our 4o onces and a pitbull, obamba 4 president, change is near sharpton so stopp actin like a bitch, thats why people like jesse jackson, lil wayne quote " u are no jesse jackson" fuck al sharpton.

[dnc1087]

true lil wayne also stated " you the kinda person who gets off on gettin on other people. youre just like don king with a perm. your less human than us humans.now let me be human is sayin fuck Al Sharpton."

[finleytravon]

al sharpton u need 2 sit yo old black ass down, u need 2 go count something, so why wont u take yo faget ass n stop emberrassing your self, hip hop is dying because of u, u tryin 2 kill it, u the one who bastardized hip hop, u wasnt sayin dat shit in da 90's bitch, my man point of this comment is to say that ur a fake bastard who lingers for media n tries to do something good, thats really bad, you had yo times when u were young let us have ours, "FUCK AL SHARPTON"

[yaboytreyy]

Al Sharpton needs to go somewhere.

[GoreFisher08]

Hello Rev.

Come to Philly please blessed be.

Google Jeff Fisher Jesus Christ Al Sharpton Jennifer Lynn Masaryk Ellis World Peace

[triniweezy]

al sharpton eat a dick.

[mrhapa]

FFFFFFFUCK AL Sharpton. He's the nigger nas is talking about.

[reak7835]

how do you figure?

[deltax1982]

foreal

[buickbrat]

this is the reason our values have gone down...this is why affirmative action was reveresed...this is a similar reason is to how rome fell in 400 ad....

[texasturners3]

Al Sharpton is one of the most racist people alive.

[infstar]

Negro is latin word that means black i.e Negro beans. Al Sharpton also didn't mention the white boy in Jena L.A who brought the shotgun to school and threatened 3 black students and nothing happened to him, I guess when your white it's ok to take guns to school i.e Columbine.

[whitemanisthedevil]

Nigga is a latin word meaning black.

[alfathree]

no its not, there is no such word, it is a slang expression derived from the abolished word Nigger, contexted as a derogatory term used to identify African or black american people.

[lsd713]

Just a note about the Louisiana reference... I noticed MINISTER Sharpton had nothing to say about the white youth who got beat down by the 6 young men in Louisiana... but I guess hate crimes only work one way right????

[alfathree]

why would he have to comment on that? he wasnt asked about it at all. drop it.

[free140]

He should have some reason for the name title. Lets just hope that the message is clear that Nas is going to give to us, AND PRAY THAT IT'LL BE WORTH IT, there's contreversy now, who knows what to expect. But I hope he'll do well.

[TheDocta27]

To anyone who thinks Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson are leaders for the black community

THEY'RE NOT?

Unfortunately the real black leaders died

and I'm talking about Malcolm X, M.L.K. Jr. and his wife

R.I.P. to them

[alfathree]

Ok Docta, what leaders in the hip hop community or anywhere, stood in front of the justice dept. in DC to demand equal protection and justice for Megan Williams, Sean Bell, Shaquonda Cotton, Genarlo Wilson, Mycal Bell, victims of Katrina and even you? Who else called for and testified in senate hearrings for the jena 6 when white people would have just dismissed it all? Say what you want about Sharpton but at least hes out there fighting. people who criticize the most always do the least.

[qsmith007]

Al Sharpton did all of that fussing about the "N" word, but does nothing to boycott Nas' album! Al is of the devil.

[alfathree]

thats a damned lie, do you listen to his show everyday? he came out a month ago and dedicated a segment on his show to condemned the title of Nas's Album. I can't stand when people comment on things they dont bother to learn about for themselves and youtube is full 'em

[qsmith007]

Dude, listen, doing something on the radio and doing it in public is something totally different. It like my telling my wife at home that I love her, then in public I just walk next to her like we're friends. Sharpton is crooked like Jesse Jackson. AAAAAAAAAAA Phi!!!!!!!

[alfathree]

where were you when he and Cynthia Deloris Tucker actively boycotted TuPac in an effort to cut out detrimental language in Hip Hop culture, not only that but last year Sharpton petitioned Viacom, and other networks that show filth to our children. you would know that if you were down with that movement. dont preach what you dont. by the way Alfathree is an old password not a line number, I was never insecure enough to join a fraternity because I know the true crooked history behind them.

[qsmith007]

Nope. I'm not down with the movement of villians. As far as the Alpha thing. You're right, my bad, I should've known better by your dense comments. However I wonder how you found out about the crooked history behind fraternities? I wonder what made you look? Sounds like you are a reject to me. Bitter huh? LOL!!!!!!! You have a nice day. AAAAAAA Phi!!!!!!!

[alfathree]

reject, I dont think so. I looked because I was curious about what you humpnuts called service to the community when out of your vast numbers only a handful of you ever really show up for any subsitive issues regarding black people but instead remain candidates for the Haywood Jeffreys Award. Maybe I can find you in the Certified Directory of Uncle Toms. have a nice day Uncle Ruckus

[qsmith007]

Uh huh. Let me get this straight, you were curious about community service. I guess if I was curious why men chose to have sex with other men...I'll just watch a porno! LOL! Dude, you crack me up. I guess you are down with "THe Black Movement" but you listen to Nas and Jay-Z behind closed doors. Million man march type of guy huh? Well brotha', March On!!!!!!!

[alfathree]

LOL, Lame assed comebacks and ad-homenem is an indication of what a backward ass you prove yourself to be. Keep smiling for your master its the only thing keeping your punk ass alive cause you're too pitiful to stand up you servile, fag flick watchin, flat footed, corn walking, cross eyed, snaggle toothed, mothafucka..... now, you can go straight to hell no stops in between.

[qsmith007]

Oh. you must be gay to. Got offended quite swiftly didn't you. Backdoor burner huh. LOL.  You're namecalling like a 1st grader. Dude, you crack me up!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH Ha!!!

[MOBROOKS]

great comment. I agree with you alfathree, a lot of these people that are dissing al and taking nas' side would be the first ones crying for help if they were ever racially assaulted. here's an idea for all those who are dissing al; go get jumped by a bunch of whites the way that kid did in that high school lunch room. then call al sharpton and then call nas. see wich one shows up first if at all. lmao. dap in school daze said it best. waaaaaaaaaaaakkeee uuuuuuuuuuuuup!!!!!

[AvonBarksdaleDC]

its funny how some "black" people go out of their way to say "Al Sharpton doesnt speak for me!!!!"

when the fuck did he ever say he spoke for all black people?

why cant he speak against what he feels are acts of injustice?

if you like being discriminated against, then good for you. hopefully you'll get shot by some racist cops for picking up your fucking wallet.

[alfathree]

My man! you tell 'em AvonbarksdaleDC, that one gets a thumbs up.

[MOBROOKS]

great comment. I agree with you avonbarksdaledc, a lot of these people that are dissing al and taking nas' side would be the first ones crying for help if they were ever racially assaulted. here's an idea for all those who are dissing al; go get jumped by a bunch of whites the way that kid did in that high school lunch room. then call al sharpton and then call nas. see wich one shows up first if at all. lmao. dap in school daze said it best. waaaaaaaaaaaakkeee uuuuuuuuuuuuup!!!!!

[DutchSchultz87]

whats he talking about i love being called nigger...

[emurami]

Al Sharpton is a militant loser...i hate when people like him talk for me and all black people in general...i hope people don't take what he says seriously...because most black people don't agree with what he says..

How does he know ALL black people don't like being called NIGGER?

Black people say it every fucking day....

I'm black..its just a fucking word...i really don't give a shit who uses it...

[trublueone]

dont be an idiot and stop generalizing. Matter of fact, stop listening to rap. We all don't say the n-word and I'm black.

[JDMCIVICSiR12]

lol im black too from trinidad but yo ur tellin me if some radom white guy got mad at u cuzz u stepped on his shoe and he called u a fuckin nigger u wouldnt get mad?

[ReIentIess]

Al Sharpton is a fucking retard.

[THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

nooses up then 6 to whip a white kid...they need some prison time for gang rushin a highschooler......some badasses they were.woulda made a statement if they had the balls to walk up and cut down the nooses in broad daylight, but no..same old shit.lurk in the dark and creep up ona kid and think thats being a man.losers all of'em

and shriptin needs to just go away.biggest pimp of all.wake up people

[JDMCIVICSiR12]

fuck u bro

[mpa420]

Al Sharpton is just pissed off that he can't figure out how to swindle a few bucks off of Nas calling his album Nigger.

[ThatVideoGuy001]

LOL

[ThePathOfALegend]

I'm going to say this once. If you are black and are offended by the word Nigger. It's clear to me that u see yourself as a Nigger. Same thing goes for all racial slurs. People are way to soft for this planet

[trublueone]

that is the dumbest attempt of logic I've ever read. Stick to jacking off to porn and Bill O'Reilly

[naydine24]

Where is the logic in that statement?

[KnowMOORFilms]

Nas knows what hes doing........

[barkanator]

trying to eliminate a word is giving it altimate power. and if that is our major concern now, we really have problems. how many kids gon drop out this semester, how many fatherless kids, how many black on black victims? NIGGER WILL HIT STORES OR BE SOLD OUTTA TRUNKS, NOTHING U CAN DO. IF U DONT THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA, FOCUS URE ENERGY ELSEWHERE. I PERSONALLY CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP.

[roondogg6]

appreciate that comment brotha

[ThatVideoGuy001]

Damn straight!

[andrewsepulveda]

if you dont get it by now you are a lost soul

[brownsugar976]

We should banned the f*word since so many black homes have no fathers and black fathers abandon so many of their seeds. thats all I got 2 say on this comical word distractin us from biga pictures,9outof10 parents would agree they would like 2 have their kids close to home(instead of fightin 4a fight that neva gonna end since war is a game being callled the nword instead of getting flag deliva to the home ppl can bounce back from a word but death I don't see much bouncing back from that.

[goright23]

Do yourself a favor and learn how to communicate.

[brownsugar976]

To get over something we gots to deal with it out in the opening, the word should be the least of our problems as a community why aren't we more so worried about fatherless homes and women/men self esteem going to college,work after prison or,crackera, I think it is easier to break down a meaning of a word which we are making poweful or powerless than to break down and explain to a child why his/her father didn't want to watch him/her grow and or give love to.maybe I'm in the wrong mentally.

[brownsugar976]

go2 DefPoetryJam A Peculiar Evolution but dig we cant shy away from a word like yo Im truly loss again that word didn't appear out of thin air isthats y is so manyoutofwedlock ma bcause a word go in depth with the word wh did it began peep history andor would th start havin furneral for word like bitch everything can still be the same they can just use these words in moderation nobody uses the word nigga but we can still use hoes if that aint someclevershit it all got to do with selfesteem.

[barkanator]

I need this cleared pls; we say 'nigger' all day, an average rap verse has enough niggers to go around the block, it is our term of endurement for those that choose, for those that dont, we respect, how do u go from that to being wussies about nas album? have u heard the content? wow, then u stand a bigger chance of looking like fool when it drops. if an artist says 'this is whats on my mind" and we cant relate, why hate, why?

[goright23]

Honestly people don't care what Nas or anyone else says....I think people are just sick of Al Sharpton calling everyone else racists and they enjoy watching him squirm.

[naydine24]

If you want to call your brother brother say brother. Why do we not demand the same respect that other races do. Do you hear jews calling themselves, christ killers, spanish people, spic. BTW there is a hispanic artist called Nigga. South africans were called kaffir, an equivalent of nigger yet they don't use it because they see it as idiotic and self-deprecating and disrespectful to the memory of freedom fighters. What about our freedom fighters? Let's try to honor their memories. Please

[r4tmfan]

Thank you naydine24. I wish more people would see that.

Its a shame. I love Nas but I just don't agree with him on this. I think as a protest, I'm gonna not buy his album. It probably won't do anything because for every 1 person that won't buy is album, 10 people will. But hey, at least I'm doing something right?

[vypa316]

Do you know the reason behind the album title? I think u should do sum research b4 making any conclusions "doing something right" please.

[r4tmfan]

Yes I do know the reason behind the title. Nas wants everybody to use the word so that it takes the negativity away from it. But a racist word will always be negative, no matter how many times you say it. We need to let the word die. You dont see other races slurring themselves

And when I said doing something right I meant "right" as in confirmation, not correctness.

It should have read "at least I'm doing something, right?"

I'm sorry if my punctuation error misled you. I'm not judging anybody.

[AbdulJalil88]

Wrong, Just buy the album

[r4tmfan]

And AbdulJAlil88, I am not wrong. I have the right to choose what I do with my own money. If I decide not to waste it on something that conflicts with what I believe, then thats my choice, and it is in no way "wrong".

[AbdulJalil88]

I was just sayin if you like Nas then pick up the album, But I understand it may conflict wit your beliefs. So If I offened u I apologize. Peace

[SocietysNitemare]

Nas is like a confused little child who needs to get smacked in the head. why are u airing out our issue to the world to make money off it? Nas is now officially an empty-headed idiot. rebel WITHOUT a cause.

[brebrepi]

hey guess im black but im not offended by dis shit

i use the word nigga all the time

nas has a right to name his album wat he wants

cus hes tha one makin the money

[djtruth9]

first of all nas never said that he was calling us niggers alisha keys is right nas has a reason for doing this nas isn't ignorant he knows what he's doing made this is his way of getting the people to listen

[juliansito1991]

NIGGER..........who's offended seriously? Tell me african americans

[MOBROOKS]

african americans that know their black history are the ones that are offended, not only their history but the present as well. blacks who realize that racism and disrimination STILL exists are the ones who are offended. igorant blacks who think that its all in the past and everything is honky dory now are the ones who don't care.

[naydine24]

Right on.

[sosouthernsofreaky]

Im offended...Imma tell my mommie on you

[jjarchibald]

Al Sharpton needs to hush. He only speaks when he wants publicity! Shut the hell up Sharpton! He's not saying we are Niggers. If you Al Sharpton is so Pro- Black why you got your hair permed??? Get over yourself with your damn perm head ass!

[flatbkush6]

fuc al sharpton niggaz!!lmfao niggaz

[johnsmith3210]

Nooses in Jena, beat down, raped by Duke lacrosse team... Wait?

[RevolutionaryINK]

The title is "N-word". Not "Use the N-word" or "I love the N-WORD". So these idiots have no Idea where he is gonna take the TOPIC. He is one of the most socially responsible and consious emcee's ever. I amsure they won't listen to the lyrics so he can enlighten them. and at the end of the day I bet that the real N-word he is referring to is "NAS",...duh!!!

[DeaDPooL522]

imo nas better have a positive spin or rationale on his album title, but knowing nas, he probably does

[naydine24]

I was hoping the same thing cuz I thought Nas was pretty conscious. I thought he was trying to make the point that the N word had become so over used and its history lost.but in his interview his rationale was that we all are Niggers. Black, white, chinese. so i guess he's not going that route

[r9sierra]

I feel nas is going to do something creative with the n. He's a very imaginative person, and very contriversal.

[glawz]

Al Sharpton hasn't even bashed Bill Oreilly for his racist comments, but Nas is a problem? Then he goes off talking about how blacks are beating each other down.

[Anniebear561]

Nas wasn't on hip hop vs. America.Whats he talkin about????

~Anne

[Tobascorascal]

I can't stand Al but the man has a really good point.

[ElderxMisanthropy]

Nas > Sharpton. Enough said.

[xxmiggsxx]

lol i love it just like black on black crime.. hey anyone want to shot some hoops?

[eastwood13]

Sharpton is the biggest racist in America!

[lawrence913]

I love Nas and free expression but he has a point.

[frankeinstein1]

Like Rev Al said I respect him..Nuff Said!!
