    YOUR PIANO IS OUT OF TUNE SPADE! how do they get away with millions and call this music. DIAF and Kelis is a very ugly example of a black woman.

    i can understand where he's coming from but i still don't really enjoy hearing racial slurs every 3 seconds.

  22. 22

    Hmm first i will start by saying that I am a black female… Ok, all that PC shit out of the way.

    I only had to get 10 seconds in to disagree Perez…This is only powerful if you believe in all the conspiracy theory Nas was spitting. I am disappointed actually. Music is a powerful platform…but unfortunately he let me down. The mentality that he seems to have (as portrayed through his lyrics) that "holds our race down". Instead of making excuses for why our minority race is struggling, I wish these vocal black icons would discuss realistic ways to make changes while addressing that a lot of the shit we go through is our own fault…

    Oh well…let me know when a black icon's willing to except the repercussions of our own actions, regardless of the "white mans' instigation…

    PIANO IS OUT OF TUNE. stupid black guys., black men arent talented and they dont even know when theyre instrument is out of tune. we should boycott this racist. and make sure Kelis gets AIDS.

    It's sad that there are people still pushing the race card, instead of trying to push an agenda of success for their own people. How long will we have to listen to people blame slavery for everything in life. Worry about your education, worry about your family, make your own life your goals, be an example to other people, treat people like you want to be treated. . .and SUCCEED!

  30. 30

    He has a point and some of what he's saying is still true to this day…however, we're not living in the 1900's anymore. Times have changed and will continue to change…its not perfect, but its like it was.

    You usually post alot of BS we indulge on on a daily basis about who's wearing what and how many pounds and what a mess, d list… BLAH BLAH BLAH… BUT WHEN YOU POST REAL MUSIC, REAL PEOPLE, REAL NEWS, I REALIZE YOU'RE NOT JUST A GOSSIP BLOGGER… YOU'RE INNOVATIVE!!! Who else would post this video??? how else would I have seen it? NO television network would have posted it and nowhere would we have found it without being censored… SO YOU KNOW WHAT PEREZ… F*CK YOUR HATERS, SPOILED "STARS", UNTALENTED BITCHES (avril jijiji), AND KEEP ON SPILING THEIR MESS OF LIVES SO YOU CAN ENTERTAIN US ****AND**** THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTNING ME WITH THIS MUSIC… I WAS NEVER A FAN UNTIL TODAY!

    ARE YOU BEING A DELETE WHORE AGAIN PEE-REZ? IT'S REALLY NOT ATTRACTIVE!!!!

    I HAVE SPOKEN… AND HEED MY WARNING.. OTHER WISE IT'S NOT JUST THE HOT TOPIC LINE THAT WILL FAIL!!!

  44. 44

    Post Script:

    While not necessarily my views, this is proof that music is powerful. I bet this video never gets played, I bet this song never gets played, I bet it makes a lot of people think, I bet it pisses a lot of people off, and that is what music should do.
    Foot in mouth, I will say it's powerful…mainly because i'm already seeing the dumb borderline racist comments. For the few post above me…if you dont' like the song how about tell us why intelligently. It's a bit hypocritical to tell the "stupid black man" to stop making music while you nitpick over the piano pitches and wish AIDS upon him and his wife…(at least come up with a clever original racist comment)…

    wow. actually hate this. it glorifies everything wrong in the world today. personally i see at as the world taking a leap back, not a step forward. im kinda embarrased…. love you perez, but not lovin this in the least bit.

  51. teache says – reply to this
    51

    Honestly, I wanted to hate it but found myself listening to the end, yeah. So anyway I do like the music but not so the lyrics. I mean really we're suppose to teach our children to never use that word, and as long as it's being repeated in lyrics we're never going to move forward!

    I liked the 99 problems video by J better…but I respect NAS in general but not really connecting with the video/song…then the lynching scene…I could have done without but A for effort on the shock value. I just wanna bring back the "A Tribe Called Quest Days"…

    i am so tired of the slavery input. that did not happen in this lifetime and nobody in this lifetime is responsible. furthermore, how about just one time somebody acknowledging the fact that the almighty AFRICA is who SOLD the slaves to america (and several other countries) in the first freaking place.

    Perez you dumb shit, ah, really moving…. if it was 1950, maybe then it would have some relevance, now it's just a black rapper who is worth millions pretending it's 1950 to sell CD's and promote black grievances.

    I was 10 or 11 when I first heard the "N" word. my step brother (who was visiting and 22 yrs old) called me that after he saw my friend Malcolm and I playing in the back yard. I didnt know what he meant by it but Malcolm did and left to go home. When I asked my parents what that word meant I almost got hot mustard on my tongue. They asked me where I heard that word and I told them that my brother said I was one. He got told to leave and he did. My parents called Malcolm's parents and totally apologized, but Malcolm didnt tell his parents what had happened. He was was afraid that his parents wouldnt let us play together anymore. His parents had said numerous times that it is okay to be friends with me but white girls are not good enough to marry …. keep in mind we were like 10. Everything worked out. 19 years later … Malcolm and I are still friends!
    I love and respect Nas but I dislike that he is painting all caucasians with the same white brush. Not all think this way, not even most I hope! I am ashamed of those who do … all shades that do.

    I am white, and have many black friends, but this is not a step in a right direction.
    All it does is add more fuel to the fire, especially since black culture is already shunned upon by many.
    Yes a powerful song, agreed. But this just brings out racism more, he uses sexual slang.
    He did this song out of money, not of soul.

    Rappers like him DO NOT make it any easier for black people.

    come on. enough of this kind of crap. Step up to the plate people. There are plenty of us white folks that know your pain, and realize what you've gone through and will be here to back you up if you give us half a chance. But, you gotta stop defeating yourselves first, and this is not it. The past is gone, step up, you who have the courage.

    Great way to remain ignorant, and divide people. This isn't empowerment. This is more hate. I am so sick of this "holding a n*gga down" bullshit. If my son ever says this word to someone or about someone or himself, I will beat his ass. He is black btw. We don't 'slave talk' like that. We keep him educated and above this trash right here.
