Nas To CNN Reporter: ‘Me and You Are N*ggers’

Nas is no stranger to controversy, turning the Hip Hop world upside down with the name of his last album, Hip Hop Is Dead. Well that should pale in comparison to his new N*gger album—despite Def Jam’s claim to the contrary. Over a week ago (and about a thousand blog posts later), Esco hit the red carpet at the Grammys rocking a red fitted ‘Queens’ cap and t-shirt bearing the controversial title. CNN’s entertainment reporter Brooke Anderson did her best to avoid any uncomfortableness, that was until around 01:01 when Nas explained quite frankly, that “No longer are black people just n*ggers today, it’s also me and you.” After a brief awkward pause, she regained her composure and continued along her line of questioning about the album.
