Video: Nas - "Be a N*gger Too"
Monday June 9, 2008
It took a while, but I'm finally convinced that Nas' new album will arrive on July 15th, as scheduled. He's changed the offensive title, dropped an official single, and now he has unveiled a music video to complete the cipher.
The music video for "Be a N*gger Too" finds Nas teaming up with hip-hop go-to-guy Rik Cordero for some grimy black-and-white visuals. I have to say: If he had released this earlier, I might have changed my mind on "Be a N*gger Too." I still like "Hero" and "Black President" better.
Watch the video and let me know what you think.

I like it a lot. Not only does it justify his reasoning behind the manufacturing of that track with the old plantation scenes and the opposition being the white man, but he also raises some key issues…
…issues that no other rap artist would touch on. Nasir Jones is Back.
But how can you not like this song, and the title..if Def Jam would’ve dropped the album as is, it would’ve been the biggest album of this decade…I understand Hero and President..but this song is equally as big, or even bigger than those two songs combined
This has to be thee stupidest song ever.
