That's what's up! I appreciate Nas' attempt, but I think he missed the mark a bit. However, when you consider how lame the masses are, he pretty much has to stay simple. I think he could've definitely done more with this song, lyrically and visually as far as the video is concerned, but you do have to dumb it down for the audience.
I am a fan of Nas. I respect him a lot with some of the messages he tries to put out there but this song upset me..
His video had more of a message as a silent film then his lyrics.
I just wonder how some of the people like Douglas and Dr King and even malcom X who Nas so looks up to would feel about this song.......
