They see me rollin'. They be ridin' cleanly!

Cool YouTube video. I've never heard his music before, only heard comments about him (word of mouth). Apparently, this is a change of pace for him.

The N-word has been watered out so much by popular-media, that it really isn't a derogative term anymore. When will you people move on?

Says the guy living in a country with no black people.

How many Africans live there? Two?

Come around here and call someone a nigger and we'll see how non-derogatory it is.

Chamillionaire is apparently way smarter than I ever gave him credit for.

I'm wondering when this happened. Next thing you know he'll be joining up with MOS Def, doing protest shows and headlining with Christian hip hop groups.

Why you gotta assume all black people are African?

Ridin' Dirty is the best rap song of all time.

I am not a fan of rap, the song just makes me giggle when I'm ridin' dirty in my tinted whip.

Black people need to stop feeling like they're responsible for the n-word. If they can have fun with it, then cool, but when it gets used by people inappropriately, well... that's not their fault. It's a word with an ugly history, and that's not black people's fault.

If white people decide to announce a funeral for the word it'll mean something, but as it stands all this guilt black people carry over the word seems misplaced. There is a disempowering of the word that goes on with rap music, and I don't think rappers should feel bad about using it.

Because outside of Britain, most black people in Europe are African.

It's called geography.

Fuck that.

The word is our responsibility ever since we took it out of the hands of whites. There is no disempowerment, just making of ourselves to sound like babbling buffoons.

The word needs to be eradicated from our vocabulary. Fuck everybody else, we need to stop saying the goddamn word. The sooner we do that, the sooner everyone else will stop trying to emulate us.

I could go either way. But like I said; either everyone uses it or no one uses it at all. Thus this argument will be around for another two hundred years.

not really. Until a white scumbag racist can say that word, and no one care, it still has power. Some guy making a song where he calls his friends the N word a lot, and his gf the N word a lot, and everyone else the N word a lot, has little impact on that.

I stand by my post.
Nigger is the new fag.

but your post is wrong, at least for now.

See, there is a good reason why the words Gay or fag have no power. Everyone started to use those words to describe everything. Cars are now gay, toasters are now gay, your trip to Florida is now gay, your home work is gay, Lawschool is gay, the Wii is gay, your mother is gay, etc, etc.

Those words became everything, and in doing so, became nothing.

If the N words wants to become the new fag, then it needs to become OK for everyone to call anything and everything the N word.
