Nas
Rocks "Nigger" T-Shirt At Grammy
Awards
(February 11th)
Nas
definitely isn't shying away from the
controversy surrounding the title of his
new album. The rapper walked the red carpet
in a black t-shirt that boldly said "Nigger"
on it. He was accompanied by his wife
Kelis and a crew of woman who were dressed
in similar garb.
Nas explained his fashion choice to a
reporter for CNN.
"Its all the experiences we go through
every day, of all ethnicities, Black,
White, indifferent. We've all at some
point felt discriminated on, whether its
in Dominican Republic, whether its in
China, whether its in Iraq with soldiers
getting their heads blown off for reasons
we don’t know why," he reasoned.
"The meaning of the word is supposed
to be ignorant."
"So no longer are Black people still
niggers, its also me and you," Nas
said to the White CNN correspondent. "I
want people to think about what I'm thinking
about today."
