Nas Protests @ Fox News
Nas showed up at the MoveOn.org/ColorOfChange.org protest of Fox News today at the network’s NY headquarters and gave a short speech. I expect footage of his remarks to be online shortly. After refusing to accept the groups’ petition demanding an end to Fox’s “racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans,” the network offered the following statement through a spokesperson.
“Fox News believes in all protesters exercising their right to free speech, including Nas, who has an album to promote.”
Zing!
Hit the jump for a short clip of Nas speaking on whether or not rap artists should boycott the News Corp owned Myspace because of their business ties to Fox.

FUCK FOX NEWS
They play Fox News on some of the TV’s at the gym, and even without sound that shit is obviously the most biased/racist/slanted source of information imaginable
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Let’s all be perfectly honest: who really cares that a bonafide fat ass like Rick Ross used to be a correctional officer when most of us were trying to decide which female high school classmate would give up the goods with the least amount of hesitation? I for one never liked any of his music – much less the very sight of him – to begin with. I’m pretty sure if it weren’t for the fame and fortune, duke would rock Cheetos-stained fingertips with all kinds of crust and dust mites underneath his left breast and smelling like rancid horchata, like most fat people I’ve been around in swap meets across the city.
Great. I just deaded my appetite with that disturbing visual.
Besides, if Lil Wayne can give mouth love to his surrogate pops and still push a brazillion copies of his overrated grape drink coaster, I see no reason why home slice can’t do the same, and he’s just as talented as duke, i.e. not really talented at all. That’s the great (worst?) thing about rap: the audience is fickle as shit and have insanely short attention spans. I’m pretty sure one of them would even say they enjoy the occasional pegging every now and then and not only would their faithful legionaries would give some ass-backward excuse like, “Oh, he just does that to expand his mind, and that’s what makes him so great” or some retarded bullshit, they’d likely turn a shy eye from that shit.
hahaha Meka went in on his blog today

I cosign Nas on the issue but true indeed he is doing it for exposure. Buey hey better someone doing than nobody.

Nas, lost. Next.

July 23rd, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Since niggas mentioned that ricky ross shit heres my take on it….Yes this rick ross shit looks bad because you know niggas are just looking for any reason to hate and yes he talks about him being a kingpin and all….but lets put this into perspective, just because he was a CO does that really mean he didn’t sell weight? Hell no i know niggas that are CO’s that sell drugs, also they say he was a CO from 95 to 97….from 19 to 21, that high school years…..your telling me that because he was a CO from 95 to 97 that he couldn’t of sold drugs from 98 until when ever? To be honest being a CO is probably what made him start selling drugs, for example CO’s bring niggas weed or yay and shit like that…..everyone knows CO’s are the niggas that bring in all the drugs…..so to keep it funky i don’t look at Ross differently, he lied because he knew it would look bad to the general public and niggas wouldnt buy it , theirs whote boys in my job who sell yay come onnn…..fans are fickle….anything to hate on the next nigga….Hate is the new love and it is a helluva drug!
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
The only weight Rick Ross is pushing around is his fat gut, end of story. And its still 187 on an undercover cop.
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:49 pm
if he is doin it for exposure then more power to him…i doubt he would be there if he didnt thoroughly support the cause. @ least he didnt engage in some pointless beef w/ a random rapper
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:49 pm
If niggas stop listening to ross and they didnt stop listening to wayne….welll then im at a lose for words….

July 23rd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
out from the weeks worth of lurking…..what up nah
nas aint loose. hell yea take the free promotion it aint like he dont have a song directed directly at them. how can the man loose when hes put something in the library of congress to be sold nationally and internationally throwing dirt at one of the biggest if not the biggest broadcasting company in the US. He had every right to be there, to speak, and hell he should have done a quick gurilla concert a la mos def with the Katrina clap. shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit he doin what no one else will do. i aint seen nobody on nahright reppin nahright speakin out against none of the bullshit thats goin on in this country but yall wanna sit back and point the finger and down size a man that had the balls (-) to do it.
Thanks Fox for the acknowledgement….yes Nas does have an album to promote just like the 40 fuckin commercials you run on a nightley basis that usually start off something like “coming on fox news at 10″ just so we stay tuned to fox instead turning to ABC…. i be on my BBC and CNBC shit as well as CSPAN so they already lost with me…
that is all

Streets disciple dissapointed me….and I thought it was trash…but I listened to it thoroughly on the strength that I paid for that album….The first disc was tight, the second disc, was aight….The songs were all over the place….But I liked because I made myself like it….But it was okay…
But untitled is bordering on okayness…..I don’t even know if its better than hip-hop is dead….
Nas flow is not crisp and slicing as it once was…..just like jay…..their nutz in your face lyrics when they were young have gone by the way side….He’s just shooting jumpers on tracks now.
