MTV has published further excerpts from the interview where Nas aired his feelings on his newfound nemesis Bill O’Reilly. Remember when I said the newly self-described “American psycho” was acting “levelheaded” about O’Reilly’s attempt to demonize his performance at the Virginia Tech memorial concert and that Nas, unlike O’Reilly, wasn’t interested in stirring up pointless controversy? Well, uh, yeah:

I don’t downplay nothing, that’s who I am. When he wants to come holla at me, be ready for Hannibal Lecter. He don’t deserve an intelligent explanation. I’ll bite his nose off! He wants to talk to me like a animal? I will be — but only to him. With everybody else I’ll be a gentleman, including his wife. That’s right — I’m crazy. That’s how we should be to him. He isn’t here to help us, and we don’t need his help.

Nas also said that he would indeed go mano-a-mano on The O’Reilly Factor if asked, and while I know he was just exaggerating for effect, I really wouldn’t mind seeing someone gnaw Bill O’Reilly’s face off on national TV. If not Nas, perhaps an uncaged grizzly bear.
