Nas Sparks Controversy w/ 'Coon Picnic' Song

[Jimmy Cash2120]

the reason so many black men are with white woman is b/c it dont get much easier than picking up a white broad.

where the white women at?lol

[Juronimo]

Those of yall calling Nas "racist" are obviously missing the point and are completely unfamiliar with issues affecting the black community. I think Lost Angel is on point, you articulated the issue well. Trauma, have you actually heard the song? Where did he actually say that a black man and a white woman hooking up is wrong? If anything, Nas talking about Kobe's situation is bringing to light an issue that is still taboo in today's society. Personally, being a black male, I knew Kobe was in some serious shit when Kobe was accused of rape by a white woman. These are issues that are real and have to be dealt with on a daily basis. For you to dismiss his song as "racist" shows a complete lack of understanding behind the real issues here.

He's not mad at blacks for acting "white" since really there is not such thing as acting "white" or acting "black". He's talking about those that make fools out of themselves, playing stereotypes for cheddar and those that forget where they come from. That's what he's addressing and that is a ligitimate issue in the black community. After all, he gave props to articulate brothas like Tavis Smiley and Michael Eric Dyson

trauma u truely are a fuckin moron and analyze to far into the track. Just think bout the people he calls out and what hes implying. your taking it way to far. dont get mad, its hip hop. not that rap shit. its got truth you just dont see it probly cuz in society some things are becoming ok to you. like Homosexuals. black men usually only wit white girlz cuz they r easy and white girls wanna eb accepted into the hip hop culture, so they think sleepin wit a black man will get them there. thats why those white girls are all whores and junkies anyways. hes not even close to being racist anyway.

[davida.b.]

its hip hop. not that rap shit.

Keep in mind that Trauma doesn't like hip hop or rap much. He likes Country

i agree, nas is back to his 'i'm gonna be a bitch' stage.

he sounds like that motherfucker 'infinite' (hip hop is dead...) on this board. thinkin he and only he knows what's right for everybody else.

he's acting like god again. can't stand that shit.

 

[Trauma-san]

He doesn't say it in the song, but I guess I'm the only one here intelligent enough to recognize nearly everyone he calls out is a black man with a white wife?  Nas:Bitch.  That ought to be the name of his new album.

I would never say Em is a better rapper than Nas. As of right now Nas is greater. Em may get better, but probably not, who knows?

As for "I Can"; it's false facts spread to create a movement. This is called propaganda. If you can't see through it then you're a moron.

Is that for me?

I would never deny that this is an isue in the black community (and latino communities), but I don't care for Nas's stance on it. If he really is Jesus like the cover of his album, and various lines in his songs, want you to see him as, then he would be against the hatred towards interrcial couples and not antagonzing those with in interracial relationships.

What did Eminem say that was ever condoned? If Nas wants to be an ignorant racist than that's fine, but tell him he can't be an ignorant racist and Jesus at the same time. Ignorant racist Jesus is an oxymoron.
