Giving his opinion on rappers such as Ludacris and Snoop Dogg, Mr. O’Reilly decided to give his two cents on one of the Hip Hop’s finest—Nas.
During a recent airing of his Fox News show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” the commentator blasted Nas’ free concert for the students of Virginia Tech as an “abomination” and “atrocity.” O’Reilly referred to Nas — or “Nazz,” as the TV host pronounced it — as a “gangsta rapper” and said his lyrics are as “violent as they come,” citing songs such as “Shoot ‘Em Up,” “One Mic,” Ether” and “Made U Look” as his musical history of violence. (The show also displayed some of Nas’ concert footage and videos, plus the scene where Jay-Z gets shot in the video for “99 Problems.”) O’Reilly called Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger “a villain” for allowing Nas to perform.
According to MTV News, Nas scoffed at Bill O’Reilly’s claim, labeling his comments “racist.”
“He doesn’t understand the younger generation. He deals with the past,” Nas continued. “The people he represents are Republican, older, a generation that has nothing to do with the reality of what’s happening now with my generation. ... He’s not really on my radar. People like him are supposed to be taught and people like me are supposed to let niggas like him know. I don’t take him serious. His show is all about getting ratings or whatever. I wouldn’t honor anything Bill O’Reilly has to say. It just shows you what bloodsuckers do: They abuse something like the Virginia Tech [tragedy] for show ratings. You can’t talk to a person like that.”Nas maintained that some of his harsher lyrics are no more rigid than the reality that inspired them.
University officials responded to the comments by saying the announcement of the concert has been getting overwhelmingly positive feedback and that the lineup would not be changed. Despite the controversy, Nas says he was asked by the school to perform and there are many people who would be disappointed if he did not come.
After the concert, which went without any major incident, Nas told reporters he would go on the O’Reilly show to discuss the comments he made.
“Whenever he wants a debate, I’ll go through it. I know Bill O’Reilly’s test scores. I know what he did, what he’s trying to be … I’m a psycho. I’m an American psycho. [Addressing O’Reilly:] “Come to Queensbridge, [record your show] out there. Come to Jamaica, Queens [New York]. Do a show in Red Hook [Brooklyn, New York].” ... I ain’t got no time to talk to a uncivilized savage. This man will go through all kinds of extremes for publicity. I will tell him I’m an American psycho, I’m his worst nightmare. “They Shootin’ ” is just the beginning.”
“I don’t downplay nothing, that’s who I am. When he wants to come holla at me, be ready for Hannibal Lecter. He don’t deserve an intelligent explanation. I’ll bite his nose off! He wants to talk to me like a animal? I will be — but only to him. With everybody else I’ll be a gentleman, including his wife. That’s right — I’m crazy. That’s how we should be to him. He isn’t here to help us, and we don’t need his help.
If Arnold Schwarzenegger comes to VA Tech, he’s gonna come dressed like the Terminator? [O’Reilly] would never say that about Arnold Schwarzenegger. But he’ll say that to me because he’s ignorant.”

Me personally, the first time I watched The O'reilly Factor, I always thought Bill O'reilly was a clown. I mean, common, u can't take that guy serious. Like Nas said, he talks all this trash to get ratings. And he always going against rappers. I also watched the one he interviewed Camron and Dame Dash. Fear was in his eyes that Cam was probably goin to slap the taste out his mouth. lol.
But seriously, Bill O'reilly is a clown. Nobody should take him seriously. Very soon, when people are tired of his hypocrisy, they will cancel the show!
Like everyone said...FUCK BILL O'REILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jokesta must be on my dick again.
He deleted my comment about how I saw HUNDREDS of people Soulja Boyin it this weekend and people's replies regarding it, and how I tied it into the article saying that maybe I'd been actin', blindly, like Bill O'Reilly, too...
But uh, you can tell when someone feels threatened... this dude NEVER deletes some of these stupid ass comments we read... Thus, I feel JUSTIFIED in saying,
"Jokesta is TRULY all over my nutsack."
Ha... Oh well... Banned in

You sound dumb as hell watch the show then form an opinion. IDon't just take Nas words for Gospel
co sign... to debo.
i watch the show every once and a while, and while o'reilly is sometimes rude and quick to cut people off, he does present both sides of the issue.
nas is only proving O'Reillys point by being so immature about this. saying he's a gentlemen with Bills wife?
there's no need for that. you know that if anyone said they were fucking around with Kelis, nas would have somethin up his ass.
Lmao i cosign but you know that faggot wont come to a predominantly Black city, "they shooting, naw mad u look thats just Bill oreily getting his ass kicked"
Yo Debo7, KILL URSELF, go fuck o'reilly in da ass u bich, ur a o'reilly dickryders, alot of dickryders out there, nas is da best (fuck da hataz out there, go listen to ur soulja boy "TELL 'EM" lmao).FINE GO TAKE O'REILLY'S SIDE U FAKE ASS BITCH
So I'm a fag because I think before I speak. The fact that you can type that without feeling stupid, makes you a dumbass. I'm taking O'rielly side I'm just using my brain,
You ARE A FAILURE BECAUSE YOU SPEAK BEFORE YOU THINK. Life is to hard for dumbassess like you to make it. Sorry to be the one to tell you
yea I'ma failure debo. thats why I moved out da hood ON MY OWN, makin $200,000/yr. released 9 mixtapes on datpiff and made ova 60,000 listens and ova 5,000 downloads on all my mixtapes (and dats real good for a DJ whos from Baltimore City, a city dat ain't on da map... yet) and I'ma a failure in life for that... LMAO, for not thinkin I'ma failure, ok dats cool.........DUMBASS
Nas you clearly don't watch the show if you think he's a racist. Nobody who watches the will think that unless you decide that before you watch it. Nas if you think he's wrong about you go on the show and talk to him. The difference between him and most old white people with shows is he'll invite anybody he disses onto the show.
I saw the show there are talking about and Bill actually had someone on the show try and defend Nas. Would a racist do that?
UR SUCH A FAGGIT
like wut snoop said hez a motha fukkin prick
Right or wrong (in this case, wrong) Bill is a piece of shit. You don't think he's racist?! Check Youtube for his interviews with Geraldo. He's garbage. It seems the dumbest people get the most airtime nowadays.
Don't check Youtube watch the damn show. You will see that he's not a racist. Can you imagine if some judged you on 5 minute clips picked out by people who didn't like you?
kill yo self deebo
debo get that dick outcha mouth and get the hell off this website now
K time 4 Supa Deuce 2 kick al da bullshit out da way. I've seen bill oreilly show. He is a racist he wil have a otha side on his show but he always cut them off 2 make ppl feel stupid. But im sorta wit debo on dis. Reel talk if somebody looked at u n a 5 min span ud seem like a drunk if u were at da bar a fat ass if ur eatin, or a illeterate asshole if ur own defsounds.lol Its reel asy 2 take a innocent commet out of context. But oreily is a dick + dats not jus cuz nas said it
very well put! honestly you can't argue with people like that, the only thing that would come out of it is publicity which Nas already said! He is more concerned with his tv rating, seems like the only way he can get His(republicans) people attention. way to go ignorant bastard!!!
Seriously, Bill O Reiley is the most retarded person I've ever heard speak. I rather listen to Terrance and Rocsi speak on Politics then his dumb ass.
lmao good 1
i wanna see nas debate oreilly and fuck his racist ass up
^^^COSIGN^^^
oreilly is a piece of shit im sick of the dude talkin shit about hip hop im white and someone needs to pop his CRACKER ASS. makin white people look real bad. hip hop forever.
LOL thank you
Fuck all you guys who talkin shit, you niggers are so quick to point a finger at someone for racism. This dude talkin about how his lyrics are violent...DO YOU GUYS EVEN LISTEN TO NAS CAUSE I DO and his lyrics ARE VIOLENT. Dont fuckin sayin hes bein racist cause of that, hes provin the point that all rappers do is make stupid money off "talkin" about fake shit that never happen and how they got money and hoes or whatever. You know why they "talk" about this FAKE shit? cause they make money...You know why they make money by "talkin"? Because there SO STUPID AND IGNORANT THEMSELVES they can't make money real ways such as actually working or going to college. Nope, instead they sell drugs and talk, and the best part is THERE NOT EVEN MUSICIANS HA, it cracks me up knowing that they think there musicians. Name a rapper that plays an instrument or that actually has a good voice (no homo) without lookin it up on the internet, cause there are VERY FEW. Those very few, people that know what real music is (like myself) respect them as an artist, not as a STUPID, IGNORANT, RACIST, DEGRADING TALKER...fuck yall gotta say
^^hypocrite, self-righteous, ignorant, bigot, faggot, poser, pussy, lacking self-esteem.^^
YEA AND ITS BOUT WHUT HAPPENS IN DA HOOD DUMBASS
dude why the fuck are u even checkin out this site if ur gona be on billoillys side.. if u ask me ur the IGNORANT one u shit head.. get the fuck outta here.. yea these guys rap about violent shit.. but watch sum tv u dummy.. it aint just rappers that r violent.. it aint jsut rappers that got hoes in the videos.. look at the old school rock videos b4 hiphop got big.. all it is is gurls halfnakid in them.. u know nothing about nothing other then bein a stupid dick. n by the way bill is racist man.. and if u cant she that then u got shit in ur eyes..
nockin rappers n sayin they aint musicain just cuzz they cant play base n sing about missin gurls like a faggot.. watch ur fuckin mouth man.. dont hate wut u cant understand.. little homos like u r the reason rapper get violent.
ha typical uneducated nigger response
o and fuckhead...what influences t.v.?...MUSIC it always has and always will...why are crime rates and everything else bad now in days? cause idiots like you listen to this shit music and go out and try to do what these "so called" musicians say and act like they do themselves...we all know none of these rappers carry guns (unless there drugged out), we all know there not hard (theyll get there ass beat and thats y they have bodyguards or they dont wanna admit they have bodyguards so they "roll" with like 20 people) and we all know there NOTHING BUT TALK AND HAVE NO TALENT
Who the fuck is this asdfg fag ? He's obviously some white guy from caged Pleasantville that has no direction in life. He probably plays the banjo or ukulele or some hillbilly shit like that. Dont get me wrong I have many white friends, but I just cant stand the ones that hate us because of our ability to make the best out of the worst situations. People of all races and creeds love hip hop to death and that's because there's so much variety. Many of you motherfuckers only know this commercial shit that these fucked up labels promote. As far Nas he's one of the few Black activists who're artists. Don't hate on our culture because everyone loves to emulate us (the hood kids who know the struggle) and not some privileged prick who thinks he's better than everyone because his parents buy him everything. We're taking over by any means. YOU OT THAT? !!!
@ asdfg
you think your so smart but really your not. I feel so sorry for people like you. You obviously have some sort of inferiority complex and come here to put people down to boost your own ego. I think you should go see a psychiatrist before you really lose it and go on a shooting rampage. Get help!!
asdfg what the fuck are you saying? if your so 'educated' why do you keep typing
there instead of they're? c'mon man we learned that shit kindergarden. if you hate
hip hop so much why are you even on this site reading this artice, and then taking
you time to create an account, posting a comment, and then coming back AGAIN four
hours later to post another one? can you say "loser"
Bill Oriely needs to get Georege Bush dick out out of his mouth, i cant stand that racist mothafucka lol
Like I said earlier, I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to the 2007 Stompin' the Yard National Step Show in Philly on Saturday night at the Liacouras Center. It was supposed 2 begin @ 7 but didn't actually start until 7:39. Between that time, the DJ was rockin' the crowd, the Greeks were doin' their party walks on the bottom floor aisles, and people (of course, Black) were still arriving late. All of a sudden, the DJ started playing that Soldier Boy.
WOW. That's all I can say.
I saw the entire PHILLY E-RUPT in a mass frenzy. I mean, I saw LITERALLY HUNDREDS of people get up and start Soldier Boyin' it the SECOND the beat dropped. It was incredible. Singlehandedly one of the MOST AMAZING THINGS I've ever seen in my life. I couldn't believe my eyes. A song I'd labeled as being wack as all heck turned out to be the most popular "dance" craze that's out right now. I'll admit, I stand corrected.
I guess there really IS a place for this THOUGHTLESS bubblegum/RINGTONE RAP/snap music. It rocks the clubs and the parties. As a matter of fact, about 20 mins. later, the DJ goes, "Let me bring this back one more time", and it happened all over again! The upper deck, the middle where I was sitting, the floor area where all the greeks were, the little kids, the old heads, ALL THE college kids, I mean EVERYBODY WAS Supermannin' it. It was FASCINATING.
Then, I read articles like this regarding Bill O'Reilly's comments on Nas. Nas IS FAR from a "gangsta rapper"... FAR FROM IT. Nas has MANY a positive song... Perhaps, way more than the average rapper, in his catalogue. I realized that when I call the South's music "garbage", as well as other areas, I'm behaving just like him. Instead of saying it's wack, I should probably just say it's not for me. 'Cause apparently, MAD PEOPLE were LOVIN' that Soldier Boy, a song and video which I had never even attempted to listen to or watch. It's a damn phenomenon... no wonder it's the #1 ringtone right now. WOW.
************************************
JOKESTA, DON'T DELETE MY DAMN POST.
yea even tho its trash that song is infectious its a damn shame too
WOW dats some reel shit str8 up jus wow im bout 2 co-sign wt u charismatic
ahahah tru enuff, i kno wut u mean, i always sed it was shit, bt dam most of these tracks like dat, i jus listen to n joke around aou dem wit my friends lol, ye its truly infectious, dat shit claims victims ahah XD
Can I repost my response to his post earleir that you erased? the one that I called black people dumb niggas and asked what else would he expect from the blakc community, and that the music summed black people up, cause like that kind of music, balck people are easy to figue out, non complex, simple, catchy, an uninspired.
I like his response, but understand that it's not meant for everyone to respond this way. We've known O'Reilly to be racist for some time now, but the people have to learn to control your feelings. Seems we are too emotional to out think people that come up with these kinds of shows.
"The hoods need us, but rappers just ain't the right leaders." - Talib Kweli
soldier boys song is not good at all.. i dont undertsnad why its doing well.. even if it has a dance n shit.. like u cant even understand wut hes sayin..
Nas you clearly don't watch the show if you think he's a racist. Nobody who watches the will think that unless you decide that before you watch it. Nas if you think he's wrong about you go on the show and talk to him. The difference between him and most old white people with shows is he'll invite anybody he disses onto the show.
I saw the show there are talking about and Bill actually had someone on the show try and defend Nas. Would a racist do that?
I'm reposting this so hopefully more people read it.
Don't base your opinions on other peoples opinions base them on your own experience. Watch the show for yourself then decide if he's racist not 5minute clips on youtube.
And for anyone who calls me a dick rider for seeing something before making my opinion. You're a dumbass who will fail in life.
^^^cosign^^^
UR AN ASSHOLE, GO FUCK HIM IN DA ASS, ALONG WIT JOEGREER3000
"Would a racist do that?"----
Yes, he'd just be approaching it a different way, I mean he's still a journalist. Another point to add is that he never meantions positive actions done by his targets. I remember him talking about Ludacris and any negativity he could come up with, but he'd never meantion something like Luda's community contributions to those schools in Florida (I forgot the area he was in) and so on.
If you seek to only deface a culture that a certain race is rather influential in (and influenced by), yes it's still a racist attack. You never see him going on a rant about heavy metal bands with explicit lyrics.
But he's said positive things about Common and even though he didn't bring up Ludas positive work. he brought some one on the show to stand up for Luda, which he didn't have to do.
Dj Mob this the last time I will address you ever you don't read you talk which makes you a dumbass and not worth my time. Just because I don't dickride NAS doesn't mean I dick ryde Oriley, it just means I'm a grown man with my own opinions.
don't worry bout debo7, he just 1 of dem dickryders, ur makin O'Reilly happy u lil bitch, if u think u all good and shit callin me a dumbass, u don't even need to read shit to know hes rasist, this is a faggit who also aimed at classic R&B/soul singers like Lionel Richie & James Brown along with Jazz artists like Miles Davis (rest in peace davis)and John Coltrane, it ain't just hip hop he aimed at in the past, DAMN NEAR EVERY PERSON HE DISSES IS A BLACK PERSON DEBO, UR OUT UR FUCKIN MIND BACKIN HIS SHIT UP. UR A FOOL, 10 TO 1, U IS O'REILLY U BITCH, u need to shut da fuck up and rewind sum of his episodes back a year or 2 u dumbass, I'm da dumbass, I used to watch da show, until the comments he made aimed at Richie saying "hes a no good father who has a whore for a daughter" and Nicole Richie wasen't da whore, IT WAS HER FRIERND PARIS HILTON!!! he didn't aimed at the Hilton's cuz THEY'RE WHITE, damn near 95% of the people in da Richie family r BLACK (counting Nicole in da %5), enough proof to show that debo is da REAL dumbass and needs to rewind back a lil to da past and I know what i'm talkin bout, fuck off debo til u get ur shit straight, co-sign wit my username on it on this if u down wit me
oh and by da way debo, there's more people against this, u 1 in like 12 people who is backin this up, everybody else is hatin on this shit
