I’ve been sitting by watching how Nas has taken this whole anti-Fox News protest, spinning it into one of the biggest publicity moves of his career. Bravo! For that, I want to commend him, because in this horrible music sales climate, I have to say, that hip-hop is suffering so much, I support anyone who figures out a way to SELL RECORDS…watch here…BUTLet me digress… It’s starting to bother me how quickly people (mainly the media) jump on the bandwagon of a so-called “good cause.” For one, we’ve all known for years how conservative (whether or not it’s disguised racism is not for this discussion…for that one, my legal expertise would call for more research)…how conservative Fox News is. I have often gone on Fox News to defend hip-hop’s position when it has been attacked. I sat across from Bill O’Reilly when he tried to knock one of ours for giving back to the community. I went on the Big Story with Jon Gibson when they tried to call another artist…an R&B one…a gangster rapper and contributed to him losing a major endorsement. When they’ve attacked hip-hop in the past, I have, and so have many others, gone there to make sure hip-hop has a voice. Now, if some of our artists choose to never represent hip-hop to these audiences (the Fox News-es and the like) then I will say that is the choice they have. But when you take a stance, and you decide to take a stance for a cause like this, I am going to question your intentions, because it means that if this issue came up and you weren’t promoting your album, you’d be sitting on the sidelines not doing much. Now let me say that Nas isn’t wrong for this….he is for his own cause. Because he has an album to sell and promote. We are all ultimately doing things for our own cause? What is bothering me is how quickly the media (a lot of bloggers who just want to be down) jump on his bandwagon and start covering this story without giving it any...

I know this is old news but I had to post this Nas video and the clip of his protest of Fox News. First of all the record is sick! I haven't heard shyt like "Untitled " in years but it makes me wonder. Is Nas the only entertainer that is not afraid to address the issues of the world today? War on two fronts, the economy sucks, the election and race relations seem to be getting crazier by the day. Have we forgotten all the neuces found hanging in 07, Jena 6 and these wild illegal alien crack downs?  What the F^&*!, is Nas the only entertainer, actor or athlete that sees these problems or is he the only one willing to speak on them? It worries me and I would like to think otherwise but I'm really starting to believe this is true. So I pose this question where are the Ali's, the Public Enemies, the Gil Scott Heron's, the Jim Brown's, the Harry Belafonte's? Shyt the NWA's for that matter. And don't give me that it's a different time B.S.. Keep me off of my soap box, please stand up. Peace to my Ni@#a Nas! more about "Nas Fox News Protest", posted with vodpod
