By now you've probably heard that Nas is recording an album entitled
Nigger. If the record's title makes you feel a little awkward, the first single 'Be a Nigger Too' might have you cowering in the corner.
You'll hear that the lyrics are actually thoughtful, interesting, and confrontational, if you pay attention beyond Nas dropping the N-word like bombs over Baghdad. Nas calls out to all races by using their respective derogatory names (like 'Kike' and 'Spic') and embraces all non-whites as his family by reclaiming and using the racist slurs that were (and are) thrown at them.
So whether you feel confronted, empowered, or awkward, this is an album that won't disappear quietly.
