NY Oil Ethers Nas In Interview Over “Nigga” Controversy

Is there a war brewing between NY Oil and Nas? There was obviously going to be some fallout after Nas debuted his first single off of his highly anticipated album, “Nigger” titled “Be A Nigga Too” and it had striking similarities to NY Oil’s previously released track, “What Up My Wigger Wigga.” Well it didn’t take long before NY Oil issued a statement that amounts to a scathing rebuttal of the “bite” and a no-holds barred assessment of Nas the man, the artist and the intellect. This is a MUST READ…

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 nigga!

Yeah y’all Nas is that nigga with his title screen printed on a black tee repping for Niggas 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.
