The Nutz In The Morning chop it up with Nas…Nas addresses the controversy over the new album’s title, the “n” word, if Hip Hop is still dead, and why America isn’t ready for a black President…
NaS is capable of drop such jewels at times that you need to listen to over and over. This is clearly one of em my Dukes.
So yesterday the net and phones went down in the whole building. I bounced went to the Apple store to get the 3G (no success) then headed to the Gansevoort for drinks on the rooftop. My night was good until some punk said the N-Word to me on Q train. I proceeded to threaten him with slapping the sh*t outta him then threw him off at Canal street. I was cut off from my peoples but I will bring everything up to speed that I missed today. Tracks from T.I., Rhymefest, Tyga, Styles P, Rick Ross and much more to come.

The Hip Hop Chronicle spoke exclusively to the legend Ice Cube about his thoughts Jesse Jackson’s comments on Barack Obama, Future Legends - says 50 Cent is on his way to being a legend. And Cube speaks to us about ‘Get Use To It’, which features The Game & W.C.
Spitting a spoken word for the award winning BBC radio program “World This Week” (on which he is a regular fixture), N.Y.OIL astutely breaks down the messages of fear implanted in Jesse Jackson’s comments, without failing to similarly put Obama on the hotseat regarding his promise of “new-paradigm” politics.
