Nick Cannon, Nas and Affion put out a PSA hoping to salvage hip hop from what they claim to be its ruinous future. Racism will ensue. But, it's black people doing the racism, so it's all good, right? RIGHT? I will slap the NSFW tag on it, however.

They're attempting, in a heavy-handed way, to illustrate the possible outcome of what they see as the current state of "blacksploitation" that corporate America is undertaking. Is it racist? Apparently not if it's social commentary. Are you black? If not, then I don't think you can say, one way or the other.

This should be an interesting comment thread.

Thank you Captain Obvious for that in-depth and insightful analyzation of the video's message. I don't think we could have figured out what this was about without your help! The description, nor the introduction to the video simply did not have ANY relevant information to what was going on here...

We are all in your debt

I dig the message but it seems a bit fucked up that it's coming from Nas. This is the guy behind some of the most pro-violence material I've ever heard back in his heyday. I think I'd prefer today's pop-nonsense to yesterday's gangster rap.
