NYOIL Says Nas Pretends To Know About The Social Problems Of Black People

[Cam'run Miles]

http://www.unkut.com/2008/04/nas-sharks-nyoil/

If you caught NYOIL’s “What Up My Wigger Wigga” last year you might catch some major deja vu when you heard the hook of Nas‘ new song yesterday. A case of straight chomping or great minds thinking alike? Unkut Dot Com asked NYOIL to speak his piece on the topic:

Nas is that *****!

Yeah y’all Nas is that ***** with his title screen printed on a black tee repping for *****s world wide!

I’ve always said that from time to time in the creative stream of things there comes an artist that breaks the mold. That steps to the status quo and smashes it’s protective walls as if they were building blocks. That artist like this create the atmosphere for change in whatever industry they occupy. Artist like these establish a foundation that inspires other artist to free themselves of the yoke that was the stat quo. They in their own way speak Truth to power and shine a searing light on the lies and mediocrity that blind us.

But let me be clear Nas is not that *****.

When an artist like this comes along he strikes fear into the hearts of the gatekeepers. In layman’s terms Record execs **** bricks because their cookie cutter artist wont cut it any longer. They may actually be required to do what they’re paid to and develop talent. Search for talent and ultimately, GOD FORBID, give the PEOPLE what they want. This has happened before people. The upheaval an artist like this causes is unacceptable to the gatekeepers of the status quo. You see, there’s a lot of money in keeping your kids dumb at stake. So labels have devised a nefarious technique to counteract the effect of these types of artist.

But before I go on I must stress that Nas is NOT that *****.

The technique for counteracting these artist is as follows. They will never sign, do business with, or even acknowledge the Artist of Change. If pressed they will admit to having “been up on” this Artist in a hallow attempt at affirming their hipness. When asked if they plan on working with this artist they will give a random list of excuses not limited to “He’s hot but…that kind of music doesn’t sell”, “She’s the ****…but people ain’t ready for that”, “I wish I could bring them here but right now ‘insert corporate higher ups name here’ is on some other ****” All the while they are changing pace, making adjustments, having conference calls, and restructuring. making the final preparations to counteract this Artist of Change. The end game plays like this: they find an artist on their current roster that they can refashion to fit the basic mold of the Artist of Change. If they dress him up like, or give him a similar message to the Artist of Change and put hundreds of thousands in promotional dollars behind the Stat Quo Artist they can undermine and even usurper the Artist of Change. You can always identify the Stat Quo Artist from the Artist of Change because when asked about his “New image” or “New Direction” he is hard pressed to answer sincerely or intelligibly. In fact the Stat Quo Artist will blather on in circles clumsily during interviews stumbling over his own ignorance of what his “New Direction” is.

And after hearing your interviews, seeing the title of your upcoming LP, and hearing your “leaked” song “Be A ****** Too” I can say without doubt….

Nas you are THAT *****!

Nas you’re that ***** that pretends to have a grasp on the social quagmire that our people are stuck in and yet cannot for the life of you articulate or justify your position on this obvious plea for controversy. Does this brother realize that his attempts at diffusing the word “******” by making it some all inclusive colloquialism to represent all races is as weak as the beat he spit it too? Does he realize that when Robert Schwartz decides to stop being a ****** all he has to do is change his look. maybe trade in the bapes and backpack put on a suit and he’s right and exact. When Robert Yung decides he’s no longer a ***** he can be whatever an person of Asian decent can be in the country stereo types not withstanding. When Robert Rodriguez decides to stop being a ****** he can become a proud man of Latin descent. However for Robert Jenkins who’s grandparents where ******S, blown over by fire hoses and beat within an inch of their lives, when the term meant what it will always mean despite his attempts to make it a term of endearment. Whom despite his affluence or allegiance has to be as scared as a runaway slave when pulled over for driving black or shopping black, or standing in a group of more than 3 in his own neighborhood while black or any of the number of things blacks can do innocently while being black and end up dead because the cop who shot him 50 times like Shawn Bell or 42 like Amadou Diallo didn’t consider himself a ******…We’re the only race that embraces our disgrace, and now you would have everyone else sing along with us in our shame.

My ***** Nas.

You’ve been everything they ever told you to be. Nasty Nas, Nastradamas, Nas Escobar. And now you’re their *****.

At what point are you going to be a man?

Last year I put out a song called “What up my Wigger Wigga!” It spoke to people of all races that have used the term ***** so cavalier by using the racist terms that are assigned to their respective races. I was blown away at how similar our two songs were. However yours held the exact opposite message. It was at that moment I realized who Nas was, and who I was.

Sam Cooke sang it best…”A change gone come”.

You would do well to heed those words.

Come back brother…

wow....he speaks the truth, no matter what NAS can never take the sting outta that word:

nas got sonned again as usual

[Endiphrint]

Nas you’re that ***** that pretends to have a grasp on the social quagmire that our people are stuck in and yet cannot for the life of you articulate or justify your position on this obvious plea for controversy.


It's too early to tell. I like the way this artist wrote this. Debate is always a good thing. But, let time tell on this. We havent heard the finished product yet. This isn't an official single I believe, just something to jumpoff a mixtape. As far as articulation is concerned....when has Nas EVER been articulate. When have MOST rappers been articulate. 95% of your average emcees sound like special kids when they do interviews. I wasnt the biggest Pac fan, but he was a helluva speaker. Nas speaks better when on the mic. He reminds me of people who stutter. They sound horrible when speaking directly to them. But let them sing, or do poetry and they shine. Let's hear the finished product first before judging.

Consider as well, this NYOIL is an ARTIST with a product to sell, who was extrememly fast to point out he had a song similar to Nas' song and that he felt Nas version is the carbon copy. Somebody's lookin for a deal. He's saying that Nas is NOT the One, but NYOIL IS the One.

[dumassispumanti]

NYOIL fails to mention that HE'S only trying to get attention for attacking Nas and playing the role of "the guy against the guy who is getting attention". He sees this as an opportunity. He's no better than what he's attempting to portray Nas as.

"That guy's not the real activist, I'M really being real though".

I cant hate on him.. he presents some good points. I'd say lets just wait to hear the whole record first though.

I don't think Nas was calling them n****s in the sense of that they act black, but rather in the sense that at some point we've all been oppressed in this country and we're all viewed as second class citizens. In the eyes of white people we're all n****s, bigots hate Jews just as much as they hate us and in that sense we're all n****s in America.

Thank you.. Same thing happened when Hiphop is dead came out... Every 'rapper' claimed to be offended

[6FiggieNiggie]

NY Oil has no music in stores to sell........... he's more along the lines of an Immortal Technique wants people to listen and if that means they should download, burn, or bootleg his music it sits well with him because he wants them to hear his message by any means.


Nas is being controversial JUST to sell records...... because if he wasn't he would just articulate himself in an online video...... why does he have to say "Go cop the album to find out" that's bullshyt.............

[jayshiggs]

Wow, don't know about you but I'm proud to be Black and wouldn't change for anything.

[canneverbeme]

you got one person (Nas) who actually talking about real shyt. And you got another person (this dumb azz writer) who sits back and critiques work done by others. So who's actually done something worth talking about between the two.

Nas is:king:

[Vincenzo_Corleone]

Nas is a rapper, the fact that we expect so much from him is a damn shame.

It reminds me of that Chappelle skit about Ja, 'Where is Ja!'

The fact that Nas called other races "sp*c", "k*ke", "cr*cker", etc. in the song make that whole paragraph completely irrelevant. Ok Robert Schwartz can stop being a "n*gga" by taking off the "BAPES and backpack", but he's still a k*ke if the KKK or Neo-Nazis decide to roll up on him. Likewise a Spanish cat is still a "sp*c" to White America regardless of whether or not he's dressing "black".

Nyoil is a damn clown. He's been a damn clown since he made "Y'all Should Get Lenched" and had Chamillionaire in the video, like he ain't made political songs his damn self.

Bulllsh*t....Nas has been rapping since '91, every album has went gold or platinum since '93. So you're telling me he needs controversy to sell records, when 8 out of the 10 albums he's dropped ain't been about controversy? :rolleyes:

who is this bum ass n1gga?

[euro dirt]

this guy is mad because he made a similar song?
what part of the game is that

[Lawrence]

i co sign this

nas has no real message. just using gimmicks at the expense of black ppl

[Gentility]

this guy is mad because he made a similar song?
what part of the game is thathe's not mad cause Nas made a similar song. he's mad cause people are actually listening to Nas' song and Nyoil doesn't know what that feels like.

[iLLusoYuN]

The difference between Nas' and everyone that criticizes him is he STARTS these debates where everyone criticizes him. Tells him he's begging for attention and is a sellout. While every other artist who tries 2 make a stance about something (mos def katrina clap) just gets overlooked or blackballed see (styles P Im black) Son look whoever this lil ni99a is who made Im a wigger or whatever... nobody heard or even downloaded that joint fam. Homie doesn't even have as much of a buzz as jay Electronica, black milk, or B.o.b. (actual emcees who have talent and are creating a buzz for themselves)yet he wants 2 step 2 a LIVING LEGEND LIKE NAS.... ni99a please hury the fukk up and drop your lil 3.5 mic album and shut the fukkk up. The audacity of some people man. Tell homie if he wants 2 write articles so bad to go holla at xxl they hiring square azz ni99a.

:dry::thumbsdow

yup. wit the all gayness that comes on this piece of **** message board.
no explanations just Nazi style efficiency at censorship.

[Tetris v2.0]

This guy needs to get off his high horse. Its easy as hell for him to pop sh1t about Nas changing his styles over the years. He's never had the money, the fame, the pressure, the success, the acclaims or the troubles that Nas has had for 15 years in the public eye. For him to take the moral high-ground like he's a more legitimate artist is absurd. He's just a critic, who had a gimmicky hit on youtube about lynching every rapper who likes to party. I like to crack jokes on Nas like many others on here, but who is NYOIL to say anything about someone who is considered by many around the world to be one of the greatest to ever pick up a mic?????

NyOil seems like one of those bitter dudes who's gonna make songs b1tching about things and resort to writing self-validating blogs about famous people for the rest of his life.

And thats when you are supposed to stop being N!ggas and start being Africans

[SneakerT]

All these people are just mad at Nas, because he did something they didn't. He got people to listen to him. Something NYOIL and all the rest of them, couldn't do. Cut the crap about Nas doing this for record sales and controversey. Get serious, dude is not a limelight or an attention whore type of person. That's very evident in how he's navigated his career. His own pops said the same. He never liked the spotlight. So selling records and attention seeking my a$$. The thing is, they're critisizing Nas now, but they're still going to turn around and use the world n*gga in their songs. So NYOIL needs to check his own thinking. Nas doesn't care.........NYOIL and SOHH, how would you know he doesn't? You're not inside that man's head.

[TheSpokenWords]

I don't think Nas was calling them n****s in the sense of that they act black, but rather in the sense that at some point we've all been oppressed in this country and we're all viewed as second class citizens.

[Blackman28]

All this proves is that Nas is the greatest. People are so obsessed with Nas they pen an article on a leaked track that he did that ain't even a single. The haters are the biggest Nas stans...

[NotSoft]

The song is hot and dumb at the same time...its a cheap attempt to make the next 100 yrs,Similar to Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It also, but Nas couldnt stay on topic and for the most part the verses didnt make any point or explain wtf his hook wuz sayin...Pac wouldve made this song ten times better,bring Crooked I In to remake this song and he'll explain himself better.



"Not mad Eminem said N1kka cuz he my nikka"


first of all Eminem said N1gger,smh at Nas tryna cover for his white friend(this is ur militant hero)and why u tryna kill the grand wizard if u dont mind people callin us n1gger...and wtf the second verse have to do wit the hook anyway for the most part,nikka went from talkin bout how tight his flow is,to bein on a state bus...stay on topic Nas...i like the beat tho,song coulda been powerful but execution wuz lackin,go back to the studio and work on it.

I'd just like to say nyoil is hot garbage as an artist...that's all I would like to say.

[RAZAH CUTS]

the main reason this crab a.ss nobody is mad is because he didn't get a chance to deliver his song to the masses like Nas did.....

I like Nas's version better because he is trying to bring people together and take the power out of the word n1gger, while NYOIL is trying to divide people and keep the word's power going......NYOIL attacked other races in his song out of the bitterness he feels because so many other ethnicities use the word now too....

and he's totally off base in sayin that Nas don't know the issues facing black people today.....he know's full well.....to say he doesen't is an act of jealousy.....

NYOIL wants to be Nas.....:laugh:

[breze]

NYOIL is WACK....And that "yall should get lynched shyt" was a gimmick in and of itself....

I hate these mad underground rappers that talk shyt about the greats when they should be focusing on making better music and getting a buzz for themselves...

[Easy-E]

NYOIL is one to talk, all his songs have shock titles

Look your not goin get 16 year olds to be offended by the word 'n*gga' no more than you are goin be able to convince a 60 year old Civil Rights Movement involvee that it's a term of endearment

Black people, Black people, Black people

This is why we can't get nowhere because we are each others worst enemies

'Smart' n*ggas have nice jobs, are upstanding citizens, have access to the "top" or "promiseland", but they got their heads so far up they ass they don't wanna help the 'hood' n*ggas (black people in the streets or lowerclass), cuz they feel they are right and see other black folks just like white people do

We all N!GGAS, like it or not

It's not a term of endearment nor is it a term of degradation

That's how we have to look at it

The older generation and the younger generation needs to get togther (like we shoulda did after Michael Richards and Imus), and not fight each other and discuss this

Some people arent' offend by the word, some are, we're different...deal with it

But it isn't gonna help fight each other over it, cuz we'll get nowhere beatin' each other down

People against even believe one day the word will lose it's sting, but feel enough time hasn't past since the Civil Rights Days

People for it, seem not to even know really why they do

"AAAhhh...it's good with the 'a'...n!gga...but bad wit the 'er'....n!gger":dry:

The reason I'm not offended by the word and even use it, is because I know where it's from

Slave traders spoke Latin (dead language) and Spanish

Niger is Latin for black
Negro is Spanish for black

Translated to English (cuz it ain't the only language in the world if you forgot), we're black

It's up to us to transcend stupid labels, and define our damn selves, cuz we ain't all African American either

I White South African can get a green card and be more African American than yo black ass

We as Americans are too caught up into labels
