Nas gets at Jesse Jackson

Nas goes hard on Brother Jesse

“I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater” -Nas

Oh yeah! He said it. I can’t help but instigate when people say stuff like that. It entertains me. We all heard what Brother Jesse said about Barack “Jesus’ lil brotha” Obama. Well, Nas had something to say about that.

“His time is up. All you old n—as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that sh– no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We’re the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain’t helping nobody in the ‘hood. That’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

His words are a little bit strong, but I agree with tha overall idea. Huey Newton said, “The revolution is in the young people.” I believe that is what Nas is trying to say, more or less. The only problem is too many of us rather be “ganstas” rather than leaders.

Is it a real reaction to a comment overheard or a well-timed publicity stunt a week before Nas’s already controversal album releases. In any event, Nas’s untitled album releases tommorrow July, 15th. Plus, he’ll be in Union Square tommorrow signing copies.
