thesynthesis;3050170 said:just listened to the Nas song and that is a big reach, Nas was basically saying that everyones roots go back to Africa, so all the white folk that called him a "N" are themselves the same
anyways lets get back Uncle Jay...his stans have tried to gets slick, so i went back to his interview with Oprah and the issue of white people using nigga came up
Oprah: I was once at a Jay-Z concert, and there was a moment when everybody—including white people—was screaming the N word. I gotta tell you, it didn't make me feel good.
Jay-Z: That's understandable.
Oprah: But it didn't seem to affect you. You were having a good time up there onstage.
Jay-Z: I believe that a speaker's intention is what gives a word its power. And if we eliminate the N word, other words would just take its place.
The "speaker" being white, black, chinese , arab, so yes Jay is condoning the use of the word NIGGA as alog as it's not said with malice...
Boy u tryin to hard.......He's sayin to Oprah that okay i understand why a black person would be offended, BUT THE POWER IS NOT IN THE WORD BUT THE PERSON WHO SPEAKS IT!!!! So white people.......at HIS concert repeating NIGGA from his rhymes doesn't bother him. Nice try Syn
