Who favorited?Nas Runs To The Aid Of Obama
by on July 13th, 2008
When Nas found out about these comments he was apparently upset by them, and during an interview, saying that Jesse Jackson's role in the black community was over, as was his space in the media spotlight. "I think Jesse Jackson, he's the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old n---as,
time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your
sermons. We don't wanna hear that sh- - no more. It's a new day. It's a
new voice. I'm here now. We don't need Jesse; I'm here. I got this. We
got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We're the voice now.
It's no more Jesse, Sorry, Goodbye. You ain't helping nobody in the
'hood. That's the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!" Nas also spoke about his album leaking, and explained what seemed to be an excited reaction from him when he initially addressed the leaking of it. "I think people get too caught up in the leak," he said. "The leak is
inevitable. Everybody leaks. Everybody knows that. You gonna get
leaked. It wasn't that I was just excited about the leak; I was excited
about the record finally being out of my hands. It's finally out of my
clutches. It's finally out in the world. You gotta embrace that. That's
just people hearing music."
With his controversial album just day's away, Queens Emcee Nasir Jones has decided to become to the alleged savior of Presidential candidate Barack Obama. This comes after Legendary civil rights activist, Reverend Jesse Jackson, was caught insulting Obama on TV. At the time Jackson thought that he was off the record when he made the comment, and soon apologized to Obama after the incident. Jackson was overheard accusing Obama of "talking down to the black community", and wanting to "cut Obama's nuts off." 
His album "Untitled" is slated to be released July 15th.

He thinks that he is the single voice of the entire black community, and thats just not how it is.
but nas need to shut up anybody can have their oponion about obama and juss cuz he dont like it all of a sudden he against dude even though ive always been against him, hes juss trynna get a look off of someones negative feedback. no government is gonna work anyway
What would Chappelle say?
JJ sounds like a hater for real. That nigga has green eyes. That means he’s envious/jealous of Barrack for going further in like 2 years than Jesse has in like 30.
He’s Tryna Make RAppers Have a Voice in Politics instead of These dumbass niggaz like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson

jesse put his work in many yrs ago i respect that, word…but all he do is go on air and run his mouth
we need people to walk the walk for our people, and not just celebs, but everyone…
don’t just trash my comment, answer my question
Nas makes music that affects people homie. That’s what he does. Instead of marching and saying something to the public in person, he does the same thing on his albums. What’s the difference? Both ways have the same outcome: delivering a message to the people. It’s about the message not the way it’s accomplished.
There’s also rappers that talk about killing, raping, gang-banging etc.. Then they do charities and shit for kids to get off the streets etc…right? Then the next day they go into the studio talking about slanging crack. WTF is that? A little hypocritical don’t you think? Nas’s gives you the same message other rappers are talking about at charities in his music.
who’s nas getting the message to tho? US, we already know what the fucks going on, you think politicians or anybody that can do anything listens? fuck know they don’t! organizing marchs and speeches is UNIGNORABLE
Reverend Nasir Jones: The next Black Leader of America
Nas is only saying what everyone else is thinking. Everyone except the niggas in Jesse’s party.

My true and only point was Jesse is black, Obama is black, we should not be tearing down each other and especially out in public like that where every camera that’s off ain’t off, you see how fast this was posted everywhere, people jack off to hoping incidents like this will happen because it shows just how dumb we are…support your brother not tear him down, and as for you, you’re gonna have to do a little better than trying to manipulate my opinions and then call me a “f**king clown” hell you took tha time out to bash me you could’ve at least spelled my name right, or simply clicked tha reply icon under my comment
2 of em to tha side
There was no reason for Jesse to say that but there is no fuckin way you can even think of replacing him with Nas.
Don’t he have a church to run? Nigga you a Rev. talking reckless…ok I’m sure some Rev do from time to time, I’m not that naive, but they do it in close doors, not like this dumb nigga infront on some FOX NEWS cameras & microphones…I’m sure Bill O’Reilly had a filed day with this shit.
And to think that there was I time when ‘messy’ Jesse was the King Of Zamoonda aka Leader of all Niggaz aka Emperor of all Blacks in this country. Listen, Jesse did it big back in the 80’s, and was Dr. Kings weed man back in lord knows when. We can’t take away from dukes accomplishments; son ran for the presidency twice & failed. But his time is up nigga, Its beyond me that he’d drink some Hater-orade to hate on Barak, after all he’s thru; hated on all those years, he should by cosigning Barack. Honestly, what did Obama say that was talking down on the Black community as Jesse claims? Ok he asked the youngins to fall back on their Rap dreams bc they ain’t the next Jay or Nas, and told them not all will be good enough to play professional sports…is that wrong? Hell nah, that the truth. Stay in school, get a fucking Degree, then call your shots b/c if nothing works you have a back up plan…
how bout you do sumin constructive and help the hood
As far as this whole thing goes let me enlighten you ignorant following ass niggaz..First of all any nigga them crackaz trust too much probably don’t have your best interest in mind..Keep in mind Barack’s skin is the only thing black about him..He was raised by his white mother in Hawaii and Guam or some other far east island with her husband not Barack’s father who is actually from Africa..He was raised as a white man until he was 21/22 when he decided to go to Chicago and work within the community after college..Jesse has always done things for our cause and lets not forget Jesse attempted to run as well..He’s the last of a dying breed and to tell you the truth what he said was real..Barack don’t take a stand for anything pertaining to us..When have he ever spoke out on our behalf..I can think of countless times with Jesse Jackson though..These white people know the only way to control you niggaz is by using the race card and y’all biting for it again the same way we did with Clinton and he was in cahoots with the Bush family the whole time..He was mixed up with them and that whole Iran Contran issue, which brought cocaine to our communities back in the 80’s..Now they are playing the race card again and we are so enthused and happy for this black President that until 20 years ago lived as a white man..On top of that this same guy happens to be cousins with the current President(Bush) and Vice President(Cheney)..Y’all better open up your eyes to what’s being done around you…All y’all wanna be players, pimps and hustlaz are getting played, pimped and hustled by some slick azz white boyz..They playing puppetmaster all around the world and will make the public believe whatever you want but just as they’ve always said as long as the information you hide is in books niggaz will never know it..Most of you niggaz don’t know your own history but I been you know the white man’s his-story…Pick up a book instead of a cd every now and then and seek truth..It’s a got damn shame we know more about everybody else but are so left in the dark about our own past..Wake up and realize it’s a reason they are hiding our past from us..
The Bush family are some of the wealthiest for a reason..They have been linked to some of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world for over a century from Hitler to Sadam to Osama…That’s not including the Rockerfellers and other powerful family here in the states..They have political, economical and judiciary power behind them..Add to the fact they have their own dept of law enforcement, which happens to be the CIA..It’s a reason Jr. was able to steal both Presidencies..Just like there’s a reason they’ve been tied to the Presidency the last 28 years…Let me break it down for y’all to help y’all realize how real this shit is..
Bush Sr… 8years Vice President(they tried to knock Reagan off his first term so that he could take the Presidency then) and 4 following years as President
Clinton… 8 years President( tied to the Bush family through Iran Contra and has been seen with Sr numerous times since he left office..
Bush Jr. President ( stole the election both times, orchestrated 9/11 to steal oil)
Obama (Bush and Dick Cheney’s cousin and gave Clinton’s rally speech, which suddenly rose him to fame)..
Bottom line is wake up and stop following..If you are going to open your mouth to give an opinion at least be intelligent enough to do your own research if not shut the fuck up..The only kind of nigga that don’t care to seek the truth is niggaz that like being told what to do and what to think..Sad thing is this is the majority of my people..We can’t like a rapper if everybody else don’t like them..We can’t like a line of clothing if everybody else don’t like it..As fickle as we are as fans of hip hop that just goes to show that we aren’t capable of thinking of our own..We can’t support a person because they have our best interest in mind..No, we have to vote or believe in a man bc he’s black and everybody else is..Don’t forget it was black men that led slaves to the ships so you sheep keep following another nigga off a cliff while me and the rest of the real niggaz seek truth and be Generals in this war of life..Nas is a soldier and will always be..There’s a reason his label never flourished and he’s never been able to put together any viable business deals…He couldn’t lead a fly to shit..Jesse Jackson is not our savior nor perfect in any way but he’s done more for black people than Nas and Barack could do in 10 of their lifetimes..
Thanks bruh…As far as what Jesse said he was on point and he meant good..He was looking out for the betterment of his people..While Barack places 100% of the blame on us the same as way a naive white man would, which he really is..I just don’t think it was appropriate to say it at Fox but lets be honest we can’t depend on Barack to do anything for us..He’s already proven he’ll do anything to get into that seat..As peaceful as MLK Jr. was he would’ve at least acknowledged the fact that the police in NY were wrong for what happened to Sean Bell..Barack swept it under the rug when asked about it..If we can’t have a black man in office who can speak his mind we might as well not have one at all..Because trust me it’s better to have no black President than a sellout..A sellout nigga will treat other blacks a hell of a lot worse than a prejudice cracka..
But you are right about the have’s and have not but you have to understand that the have’s will do anything to stay on that side of the coin..Murder has always been a means to keep their money and power..They’ve wiped out whole organizations and have killed innocent people before..Think about this…How much has the divide between have and have not’s grown since Bush got in office? Like I said the Bush family has shown that they are capable of gangster’ing the whole country …I’ll put any amount of money on this but I guaruntee the Bush family has always known about Barack and has secretly aided him in getting to this point..Like I said they’ve held the Presidency for 28 years straight and it’s suppose to be a coincidence that they’re half black relative is next in line..Thats why I wish we’d stop going for the hype and let his skills and what he say determine whether we vote for him..
@ second son
We do need new leadership but it don’t come in the form of a Barack or any of the as you called them politrixians…We need some real niggaz with real opinions who aren’t afraid to bite their tongues and stand up for what they believe in…Some that can’t be bought like the previous generation or controlled by negative things they’ve done..i.e. MLK Jr..
The fucked up thing is these white folks got us so fucked up and confused that niggaz still don’t know what they are..We are still letting these mufuckaz define who we are instead of doing it ourselves…Everything God gave us as a people we let man take away..We are the originators of all but most of us are dying everyday to be crackaz and the other half are dying to be niggaz..So half want to prove their not black and the other half dying to prove their masculinity when we should know who we are..We are a brainwashed people that can’t think for ourselves and see through the bullshit that’s being put out..We’ll throw our own folks under the bus just bc the white folks tell us to..We come from the ghettos and play sports to entertain them and as soon as we get in some trouble they bring these things up…But when we make them a lot of money and never have an opinion about the treatment of our people they’ll do anything in their power to protect us to keep making them rich i.e. Michael Jordan, Tiger, Kobe and a host of others..They live to get a pat on the head like a dog from their masters..Money and alliances shouldn’t determine whether we speak out on an issue that’s wrong but it does each and every day..Even these fuckbwoy rappers pick and choose what they want to say carefully because of their sponsors..The only reason Vick went to jail was he was still a nigga and not a negro…He wasn’t making too many people rich beside himself and those around him..He didn’t play the game right so when he needed them they didn’t protect him bc they didn’t have a reason to..
Correction: I meant with need real niggaz with real opinions who are not going to bite their tongue and stand for what they believe in..
Wow fam I ain’t know you knew about Hanson…wow, anyways I’m still caught at a stand still at tha moment because usually I’m tha one given gems away and cats being all up tight because my post are too long and they never seem to address anything I actually say but address how long it is, I must say that it is much appreciated to see another person who ain’t afraid to speak not real, but real facts and truth…I at times after all tha backlash just don’t feel like people are ready or even merited to know or even be able to appreciate real knowledge like understanding tha heads above us are just faces with lies spewing from they veins, and yes tha presidential spot ain’t nothing but a title, because Congress and people who sleep in houses bigger than small college universities sit around and make decisions and vote and use tha president as their stool pigeon…tha reason I might have came off sort of simple in my way early post is because this is as close as we’ll prolly get to having a black president because this country ain’t letting no MALCOM X type president in tha office; who people still don’t realize wasn’t for violence, he just wasn’t for getting tha hell beat outta him and saying things will change…lol’s But I feel you, give them cats that real info; people say it don’t help, but every little bit help, information is information and you can only run from knowledge for so long…so do you fam

Real talk I been saying that for years myself..But I just checked out a book that put all this shit in perspective damn near 50 years ago when we first started talking integration…Check out this book called “Nigger Bible” by Robert H. DeCoy…But yea, your grandmother was on point and she understood what it was really about..The niggaz that pushed integration pushed it because they knew white folks were growing fearful of us and they needed a buffer..Those buffers were the same people fighting for integration in the first place so in a sense they got us hyped up to scare them crackaz into using them to deal with us..So, really the crackaz got played and so did we as a people…But it’s a lot to it..Check out that book if you get a chance…
Your remarks about Jessie Jackson as an elder, even if he spoke out of turn indicate that you have abandoned the values that have been so entrenched in the Black community. First, I am from the authentic hood. I grew up in Bed Sty and went to public schools. I am a successful professional and I still love Black people. You on the other hand are one of those pathetic individuals that were our neighbors that were just broken people with nothing to offer the community but only to take. You have exploited our pain and now in your desperation since your fifteen minutes of fame are up chose to take a low blow at Jessie.
Jessie did not misspeak, he just got caught. Obama has been talking down to Black folks and it is inappropriate, particularly since his African Father had Ugly jungle fever and took the nasty “kuutee” and ran away and went to Harvard. That is the real example of a dead beat father and look—Obama is running for PResident. Right on Obama—but don’t talk down to Black folks about responsibility. We hear it everyday. And as for you Nazi—take some of that money and hire a damn tutor before you attempt to take the stage as a political commentator. WHite people and sensible Black people are laughing at you. Have you read these responses? You have silly ass white boys calling Jessie out of his name and it is because of your silly ass.
Eric Dyson and Cornell West have rendered you a real punk buy leading you on to think you are a voice for this generation. You are just another punked negro with nothing to fall back on but some rhymes that are now outdated.

Here are the two I was talking about:
1. How you were raised (usually labeled “black” and “white”).
2. Your awareness of your ethinicity/race/heritage/history
When you put those two together and fully understand them, I think that each race (particulary us Black people) can find identity and pride in themselves, rather than attacking another race. That’s the bottom line…
