imagining serj imitating odb is making me snicker in the library

Haha "always"

J Lo got pulled up on calling Puffy her nigga by the media, and explained that Latins who live in the slums have always used the word the same way black people have

(to be honest, though 90% of this usage I hear in New York comes from Puerto Ricans or Dominicans, to the point where it occasionally gets weird: I overheard two guys complaining over the weekend about some guys they didn't like coming into the neighborhood from Harlem, and one of them was like "for real, nigga, we gotta do something about those ... umm ... we gotta do something about that")

^^^^^puerto rican dude i know says this ALL THE TIME and way more than black people i know. tho part of that might also be less self-censoring in front of whites

u know fat joe?

C: As a Puerto Rican rapper, have you ever been criticized for using the N Word?

Fat Joe: No absolutely not. Because blacks and Latinos anywhere you go in any hood, any ghetto, we’re right beside each other, and with each other all the time especially in New York City. They’ve been calling me “that nigga” my whole life. I go to Africa, and the Africans say “what’s up Fat Joe my nigga-ah?” So they don’t have a problem with it. It’s a term of endearment.

C: What about your response to people who don’t think like you or someone like Khaled who’s a Palestinian-American should be using the word?

Fat Joe: I guess Khaled is a sand-nigga. He’s a sand-nigga. (Laughs) Khaled that nigga, did you ask the 36 black rappers that are on his album with him if they have a problem with it?

sand-nigga

i think about the incomprehensibility of this phrase like once a week

j0 gettin his big word on

:D

who was it that clowned me for saying gza was very self-aware & articulate about his creative process (vs. romantic "it just comes out of me" notion of the artist) by saying "HE GOT HIS BIG WORDS ON, SON!"
