Nas and Amy Winehouse were photographed leaving a Japanese restaurant in London last night. I wonder what their conversation was all about. I be he was like, “Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassing/Imagine going to court with no trial/Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters/No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters” and she was all, “BLLLAAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEEEE.” I bet it was something like that. I hope they’re working together.
‘Cause as far as I’m concerned, the two look a little more alike than can even be biologically possible, minus the facial hair, natch.
Kelis, if you’re unfamiliar with her, hit the hip hop/R&B music genre in 2003 with her ear-catching, annoying-ass single “Milkshake”. She had the typical rise-to-fame scenario; married Nas in 2005, both divorced Nas in 2009 and became his baby mama, and sucked Nas dry via child support just in the past few months.
Kelis releases her latest album, FleshTones, on May 1st and her newest single, “Acapella” has just dropped.
What do you guys think of the new single? Myself, I dunno … It’s kinda 90s dance meets Sade meets … well, Kanye, at least in the looks department, anyway. I don’t think I’ll be hurrying on out April 30th at midnight to reserve my copy or anything.
Depending on where you work, the below video is probably NSFW.
“I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old niggas, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that shit 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!”
“We’re taking power from the word. No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil rights movement, but some … in the streets don’t know who (civil rights activist) Medgar Evers was … they know who Nas is. And to my older people who don’t know who Nas is and who don’t know what a street disciple is, stay outta this motherfucking conversation. We’ll talk to you when we’re ready. Right now, we’re on a whole new movement. We’re taking power from that word.”
Nas, whose upcoming album will be controversially titled Nigger. (Hey, the kids at Bossip printed it, so I can too!)
There’s a ton of really powerful stuff in this MTV interview with him. In fact, I’ve put the whole thing after the jump. It’s just that damn important.
the fact that there is someone with that VOICE and still people are mainly interested in her weight…it is just sad and fucked up. the only male singer whose weight was talked about like that was...
