(I guess it's okay to say "balls" if I can say "nigger") People need to stop giving that word so much power by going ballistic every time someone says it. Let Nas put it in every American's face and on the shelves of retailers. That word would lose all of it's power really fast if he did that!

It seems the current hip hop audience and/or those pushing the music are more concerned with selling ringtones and creating club songs as opposed to putting out anything with substance. Some rappers are still trying to make statements. Check out this song "Coulda Been" by upcoming rapper K.Sparks speaking on abortion... http://www.hoodgrownonline.com/online/?p=1228 “there are plenty of rap artists that have much to say, they just get little coverage”
