A few thoughts on this mess:
- Jesse Jackson is a man of the cloth, right? Under what
circumcisioncircumstance should he be talking about cutting off anyone’s nuts? - Nick Fieldz is spot on.
- I dig Nas, but I would’ve rather he dropped Bushwick Bill over Young Jeezy as a voice of the people. Seriously.
UPDATE: More from Nas:
Not that Fox is responsible for Jackson’s stupidity, but Nas makes a good point — why does Jackson keep flocking to spots like Fox? Particularly in the age of self-broadcasting? I think it’s because he’s not even trying to speak to or represent the < 35 yr. old demographic, which supports Nas' take on "Messy Jesse" even more.
One point of contention with the last Nas video, though: nuts have nothing to do with prostate cancer. Where are the freestyle torture schoolings of Method Man when you need them?
(via Nah Right)
jesse jackson is becoming harder to love of late (terry schiavo, nut cutting, etc.). though for the sake of the election, i’m glad he didn’t say it about mccain’s nuts.
i guess now the big question is who makes the revamped protect your nuts tshirt featuring barack obama? i will if no one else volunteers.
dude, i rock your tripod t-shirt to this day. sure, it’s a little tight around the middle, but it’s still rocked.
do it. we’ll put that shit on blast over here.
ummmm, bushwick bill, really?
just because he says he rapping with a message doesn’t make him the “voice of the people”. he admitted to rapping about raping women and killing children.
the voice are those who are popular in the culture that a lot would follow.
young jezzy is very popular in rap.
message good or “bad”, unfortunately, it could be a not so great message.
but that’s your opinion for the voice of my culture, as nas was referring to.
obviously, there’s a faction in my culture. there’s one in every single culture. do people really think that all who identify themselves as black people will be voting for him?
i definitely will be and so will jesse jackson, he was just a bit uncomfortable with him being too honest.
again, it’s not about ethnicity; this will not effect him barely at all since most people are not voting for or against him because of the color of his skin.
why was jackson even on fox in the first place?
accident waiting to happen…
the bushwick bill comment was laced with irony, erica. that’s why it was emphasized with a “seriously.” heads that were your age in the early nineties would get that. remember, nas is from my generation.
just sayin’.
i agree this won’t affect obama, but jackson made a fool of himself… again. all his righteous banter — even the stuff he’s spot on about — looks tired when this type of thing becomes exposed. even his son is tired of him.
thank goodness. i was scared to death.
you’re right.
and he’s quite nutty.
yes, again he shouldn’t have been on there at all.
he’s not trying to, most people don’t try to speak to us because they feel we’re irrelevant like Nas was saying.
haha, “barack is good s***.”
i didn’t think of it that way.
