MTV sat down with Mr. Jones to talk Big Bill and the muck he tried to rake when it was announced that Nas would be performing at today’s concert for the victims of Virginia Tech. And once again, a rapper proves to be more levelheaded and less interested in stirring up pointless controversy than TV’s most hateable moral crusading douchebag. Well, except for the part where Nas calls O’Reilly a racist:
“He’s a racist,” Nas said. “Everybody has a marketing plan; his marketing plan is racism.
“He doesn’t understand the younger generation. He deals with the past,” Nas continued. “The people he represents are Republican, older, a generation that has nothing to do with the reality of what’s happening now with my generation. … He’s not really on my radar. People like him are supposed to be taught and people like me are supposed to let n—as like him know. I don’t take him serious. His sh– is all about getting ratings or whatever. I wouldn’t honor anything Bill O’Reilly has to say. It just shows you what bloodsuckers do: They abuse something like the Virginia Tech [tragedy] for show ratings. You can’t talk to a person like that.”
Sadly, I think Nas underestimates the number of people in “his” generation whose reality O’Reilly speaks to very directly. But the basic thrust of Bill being, you know, a manipulative, exploitative asshole who you should not bother arguing with? Word, word.
Mr. Escobar is sadly underestimating the terrifying massiveness of the so-called “silent majority.”
Lesson from “The Art of War”: go ahead and let your enemies (O’Reilly) babble on, they’ll cough up their strategy eventually. Just watch for the vein in Bill’s temple.
“Sadly, I think Nas underestimates the number of people in “his” generation whose reality O’Reilly speaks to very directly.”
You are, unfortunately, correct. I have a good friend who proudly displays a picture of him, his girlfriend, and the falafel-fetishist on his desk.
If anybody knows how to quash a beef, it’s Nas.
Dear Nas:
Please mention O’Reilly’s continued support of Ted “Sit on my machine gun, Obama and Hilary” Nugent next time you’re addressing his criticism of violence in your old lyrics.
Sincerely,
heyzeus
A friend of a friend works for FOX and the average age of an O’Reilly viewer, from their internal research, is like 70. I don’t think Nas is that far off at all.
