Thoughts on white rappers using the n-word
Each had various opinions, from expressing being bothered by the usage of the word to others have no problem with it.
Rapper V-Nasty defended the usage of the n-word:
“On some real n–ga sh*t — how I really feel about these motherf—ers talking about, ‘Why is V-Nasty saying the N-word?’ you motherf—ers have never walked in my shoes, bruh … Is it a f—ing race? — Am I offending people or using it in a disrespectful type of way? Y’all mad at that? Y’all need to be mad at this album I’m about to drop on y’all a**. You f–kin’ haters — don’t be mad at me just because I’m doing me.” (Visual Poetry)
Thanks for subscribing!“I just wanna say some sh*t to everybody that’s talking about why is Kreayshawn and V-Nasty, the White Girl Mob, saying the word n–ga and all that sh-t,” Mistah F.A.B. said in an interview. “First of all, you motherf—ers need to wake up. It’s 2011. Nobody gives a f*ck about that sh*t no more. We grew up in the same communities, same neighborhoods. It’s not the same as how people once looked at it. You want to stand up for a cause like that? You’ll let somebody from your own race disrespect you all day, then soon as someone from outside your race — you want to turn into Malcolm X or Martin Luther King.” (We The West)
My opinion: I think many people have lost sight behind the real meaning of the n-word. It shouldn’t be glorified AT ALL. No matter what shade of color you are. What are your thoughts?
