He's not really a producer. He just happens to have the skill to form a beat that matches the tempo his heart is pacing at that moment. He's not really a writer. He just goes through life allowing the pen to speak to his paper about what his mind would normally dictate to his lips. Syn Cere! Syn Cant Enter Redemptions Eternity Syn cant enter heaven basically. And the Sin that many are guilty of, is not using the talent they are blessed with and allowing their circumstance or envrionment to be an excuse for holding back talent. Instead he chooses to allow his circumstances to become his punchline.

Nigger, Nigga.. Who can say it, Who cant




So My shorty and I are at the CheeseCake Factory (free promotion) and we are in line waiting to be seated. A white gentleman brushes a younger white gentleman who seems to be around 20 to 25 years of age. The younger of the two shouts out "Yo Nigga watch where the hell you goin" His friend who was around the same age group and was also white yells out "Yea nigga you scumb". My girl and I stood lost out of our damn mind. If you think we we're lost, imagine what was going through the older white gentlemans head. Honestly I was waiting for either of the young dudes to look at me or my girl in any matter at all so they couldve got the beaten of their life. For the record my shorty can scrap too. So the question hit me... since when did Nigga become a word that white people call each other or say period. Another question hit me after that... Nigger or Nigga and whats the difference. How the hell did Nigger become Nigga. And why was i willing to whoop this "niggas" ass



Most people would be quick to blame Hip Hop. Ever since the days of NWA (niggas with an attitude) hip hop has received the backlash due to our open forum and use of the word. Is hip hop to blame? I acknowledge that the word may cause hurt to those who hold that word to be offensive. Others use it as a word of fellowship. Some to this day use it as a racist lash.

It is often argued that African Americans took that word which cause so much hurt and we turned it into a way of showing that the word holds no more power against us. Hmmm.... then why would we trip if a White man calls us Nigger or Nigga at that. Racism still exist, I mean Bill O' Riley can mention Lynching a black woman with no problem. Dude from Seinfeld can use it several times on stage without huge penalty. So Nigger, Nigga, whats okay, whats not.



"Yo nigga"
Yo nigger"

No matter how you say it, there's only one meaning.
We continue to degrade ourselves each time we use that word.
But since we love the word that white people gave us so much, they figure why not continue to use it...
The whole thing is contradicting, so why get upset about it?
Do something about it and find another word to greet your peers...
