So good, we had to do it twice.

During his trip to London, the press asked if he was interested in getting down with politics, Hovvy Hov responded:

“No, they’ll kill me in 30 seconds. ‘S**t! This guy’s in!’ Bang! Ha ha! I won’t make it past the primaries! “They talk about Obama’s priest – imagine what they’d do to me!”

Steve Wonder is also in the news again. The music legend caught some feelings over Nas’ choice for the name of his newest album title (despite the fact that it’s been changed):

“I’m not with the word only [Ni**er] in that we had buried the word and it should have been buried. “People say, ‘Well we use it for fun and whatever.’ I’m not really feeling it and I know sometimes it comes in (to) conversation… For all the pain that has happened over the years, what that word brings up, it needs to go away.”

For your Friday afternoon viewing pleasure, we’ve included a clip of Jay-Z the Camel killin’ it in concert while in Norway. Click HERE for a view.

Thanks Aleesha!

    I agree…the word doesnt really offend me (when the right person is saying it, of course). But thats the prob with the word. everyone uses it, not just blacks and that word still has so much power. In my opinion, even more so than back in the day. Now its like, white people will throw that word in our faces to try and remind us of who is in charge. Back then, it was asumed they were in charge. They were the masters. So blacks had to shut up and take it. But since that balance has slightly changed, they still use it to show their ‘power’.

    if ya’ll are going to use the word, keep in the community. dont let them hear you say it!

  • sxyQblondie

    @IM JUST ME

  • memchee

    totally agree with Stevie.

    We all need to educate ourselves about the “N” word and try to rebury it.

  • F@!k Gay-z

    what is it going to take for people like stevie wonder to realize that the whole point of nas calling his album niggger was to de-sensitize the word in a sense, i mean come on wake up, you know damn well there is a message behind it, the man is not naming his album that for no reason

  • VB

    i am seeing jay-z atr glastonbury tommorow ,at the indigo arena on sunday and at the 02 wireless festival on the 3rd of july.its a great summer

  • Sara

    VB you are lucky person! To see jay-z so often! I will see him ones this summer!

    Jay is the greatest of all time! He is worldstar and with this festival around the world he gives he will even bigger!

  • Jody

    Jay is great. As for Stevie, “we” didn’t bury anything I don’t belong to the naacp and I really think there are bigger issues than words. The so-called “N” never bothered because it reflects on the speaker not me. Plus I know some n-words.

  • X

    please…this fool is even qualified to even THINK about running for mayor, let alone considering becoming President of the free world.

    J just stick to your silly songs about how much money you have.

  • Negrita Tan Rica

    I’m in agreement with Stevie on this one. How long have we been so called trying to “own” the N word? I personally can’t stand the word at all…I hate with all this blatant usage that persons are trying to so called “reinvent” or “own” it pero, no pueden ok. Like I say before, if we really want to get rid of this word, stop using it. If you’re ok with calling each other the word, then you should be ok with others calling you it and that’s the bottom line.

  • Kiki

    Jay is THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE.
