The N Word Pt.2
Oct 27, 2007
Well not really but I didn't hear anyone defend our stupidity with intelligence enough to say that if we made the word cool then why can't they. We all know it’s the fact that that white person could be a racist just waiting for the chance to show it in the sneakiest of ways. It’s the same reason we can get away with calling them crackers or why comedians can base their careers off of Black/White stereotypes and have either be the butt of the joke. It’s why George Jefferson can call Willis a honkey and why Chris Rock can say he hates niggas. We somehow feel like "the white man" owes us for slavery and segregation and racism. And now it’s ok to berate them publicly on their speech pattern, lack of rhythm, good credit, whatever. The N Word song just talks about all this shit in a clever way and is an attempt to get myself to stop using the word. Hoping that as I repeated the word in the hook that artistically it would irk me so much that I wouldn't want to do another take in the booth. I hoped that hearing the truth in the verses would spark me to make a change somehow. It didn't really work and it’s a shame I called out Jay-Z to help me out (see 3rd verse). But its real, Jay is a major trendsetter that waves his hand and makes throwbacks go away, has all of us checking the back of Range rovers and now Cristal isn't even in the clubs anymore. I don't know what Nas album is about but I got a verse for it. By the way the song he's on on Jay's album is crazy. Where was I? Oh yea nigga. I hear there are more nooses popping up and more racial inspired beatings on tape. We think we've come along way and then one day you realize people will always hate. This country was built on it. It just surprises us at times I guess. Like my boy TI, when I met him he was Tip. He had just got signed to Arista and we rhymed for each other in the VIP area at 112 because I was out in Atlanta rapping on the street for everyone and my name was getting around. My demo sucked so I had to rap for folks and when we shared bars that one time we kicked it for a month straight. I don't think success happened too fast for him but I do think someone may have been out to get him. Tip wasn't paranoid to be around his people and now the government is showing once again that we as entertainers are still just Black males. They infiltrated his camp and are trying to take him down for gun possession. I don't have an opinion about him being right or wrong I just wish he himself wasn't connected to the firearms. I'm sure there's a reason and I'm sure this is a wake up call to all entertainers. I pray I never have to have a gun fetish on purpose or by force but right now my prayers go out to him and his family. Its obvious this man is not about to go to war or is he in a position where the guns would be used by him for anything other than protection. In a court of law all they will see his skin color and all they will hear are his abrasive lyrics that may even get played as evidence. Chris rock would probably call Tip a nigga who got money and got guns. Rappers will use his name in punch lines and at the end of the day he'll be made an example of whether he serves time or not. My song made me remember why I love rap music. I can have a conversation about some shit, put it in a rhyme and it becomes entertainment. No other genre allows you to do reach so many topics, Country music may be the closest but there are just some things you can't croon about.
DJ Victorious and I are finished The Rehab so if you've been hating on me this is a chance to get it out of your system. I'm about to give away a slew of shit to get y’all prepared. The Rehab is just a treatment and a basic sketch for what I’m about to do. The Séance is my next CD and it’s a trailer with a piece of the plot and some scenes to pull you in to my independent film Cinderella Man. All of thes

The N Word Pt.1
Oct 27, 2007
I started to think maybe I don't like writing journals or I'm too busy to gather my thoughts to sit and write em down for the public. The truth is I was trying to time this entry with mixtape releases but I heard from a few people that I offer quite a bit of shameless plugs and not enough insight. And here I was trying to water down entries so I wouldn't sound like a geek or a journalist instead of an emcee. I guess I'll just see where this one takes me and y'all can judge the content as you see fit. I've been a little busy rehearsing for this independent film I'm in with Pain in Da Ass, Rock from Heltah Skeltah and my man Tah Born called “Gotta Get Mine.” We haven't started shooting yet but it’s going to be a good joint to check out and it’s already turning out to be fun as hell. I was supposed to have a bigger part in Terrence Howard's film Fighting but I got reduced because of some SAG issues. Being on the set for 3 days was crazy though. I connected with some real cool people (shout to Kaleber and my boy Floyd) and laughed at everybody else.
So I got this mixtape with my boy DJ Legend from Cali called “The Present and the Future” which is real hot. He put it together himself and I don't even know how he got some of the records he has. It feels good to know a DJ thinks you're worthy of his time to not just let you host his CD but do a whole mixtape of your joints. He did sneak on a song that I originally did for The Official Boondocks mixtape for the cartoon with DJ Wally Sparks. I didn't mean to leak that one until I got word from the show if they're going to use it somehow and of course I wanted Wally to have the exclusive. But due to powers beyond my control "The N Word Song" done over The Roots "It Don't Feel Right" is on the net. It’s sparked a lot of convo and I've gotten mad feedback from it. I hear the name of Nas' album is "Nigga" so I guess my joint was right on time. The idea of this song came when my homie Angie had me speak at a panel for racism at St. Vincent Youth services for young black males in foster care. I didn't have much to offer other than a story about my experience playing ball in junior college in Iowa for a year and growing up being a black male harassed by the police. Although the young dudes listened I felt like with a little more popularity I could’ve really touched a life or two. Anyway the N-word came up and I heard different ideas about the word. One kid said we took the offense and negative connotation out of the word. Sort of like "queen bitch" or "superho," we turned “nigger” into “nigga.” I get that one. And we really did. We made "nigga" a cool word that replaces "friend," "guy," "dude" etc. Another person said he uses it and when he's around other people of different ethnic backgrounds they use it and it’s ok. My Spanish nigga, my Chinese nigga. We're all minorities. I get that. Then another man said he didn't use the word at all because he grew up during the civil rights movement and the word still stings so there's no way to take the negativity out of it. He was there during segregation and Jim Crow. His parents cleaned houses for white folks. "Nigga" was always poisoning to his ears. I couldn't argue with that. Then there was a question that made me think of myself. I play ball with Caucasian dudes every week and when me and my boys toss around the N word I cringe a little because I know one day one of my Caucasoid boys may slip and use the word and of course we would all want to fight. Is that justifiable? Maybe but who's to say? I actually have some Blanco friends that admit to dropping the N-bomb as they like to call it, of course in jest which is where my line about Brad and Steve come in (listen to the song...shameless plug). So like I was saying the question arose would you be upset if a Caucasian used the word. Everyone said yes and it kind of amazed me.
