LL Cool J and Jay Z have pretty different ideas about the title of Nas’ album. I’m a fan of all 3, but I have to say I agree with Jay Z’s words more than I do anyone else’s. There are 3 words that I wish would die and never come back: The N word, the B word – and most of all, the word that assumes God’s last name is damn. They won’t ever disappear, of course, but I’d love to see every human being with an IQ over 2 stop using them. Then when anyone spits out any of the 3 you’ll know right away their IQ registers a whopping 1.
Not that there’s really anything different about that…
My thinking on the subject of the album is this: If we’re, as a society, going to pistol whip everyone who ever says the N word – everyone else needs to quit keeping it alive! Music has a huge affect on our vocabulary – a lot of the phrases we use everday were lifted from a song. To keep putting the redneck , trashy, inflammatory, stupid little word in songs and titles just puts it more in the spotlight and more on people’s tongues.
Below are LL Cool J (the first one) and Jay Z’s thoughts:
