NEW YORK - To some, it's a hurtful racial epithet. For Nas, it's an album title.

The rapper told MTV News that he would indeed be naming his new album after the N-word. And he denied earlier reports that the album's title would be spelled "N---a," considered in some circles a less inflammatory epithet. He said the disc is due out Dec. 11.

"(People) shouldn't trip off the (album's) title; the songs are crazier than the title," he said in an interview posted on MTV's Web site.

But some have been outraged by the rapper's choice.

"The title using the 'N' word is morally offensive and socially distasteful. Nas has the right to degrade and denigrate in the name of free speech, but there is no honor in it," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a news release. "Radio and television stations have no obligation to play it and self-respecting people have no obligation to buy it. I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade."

There were reports that his label, Def Jam, had scuttled the title idea. But Nas told MTV that he has had no opposition from the label, and said his intent in naming the album the N-word was to take the sting out of it.

"We're taking power from the word," he added. "No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil rights movement, but some ... in the streets don't know who (civil rights activist) Medgar Evers was ... they know who Nas is," the rapper said, referring to the civil rights leader slain in the 1960s.

"And to my older people who don't know who Nas is and who don't know what a street disciple is, stay outta this (expletive) conversation. We'll talk to you when we're ready. Right now, we're on a whole new movement. We're taking power from that word."

A representative for Def Jam did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment from The Associated Press sent after business hours.

The use of the N-word is common in rap, though rapper Chamillionaire recently declared he would no longer use that word or curse in his rhymes.

Anybody who knows the first thing about rap, knows that Nas is far from the proto-typical "Alize and Rolex" bullshit artist. His musical pedigree is Class A and his lyrics always have meaning and bite and aren't about noveau riche gangster fantasies.

So, fuck yeah, that took balls and he stated his point concisely. Irony sure ain't dead around Kelso's life. He had just gotten finished responding to one of the right-wing members of the new TEAM FAIRLANE http://fairlane.wordpress.com/ by saying that "Bill Kristol is a Jew; [Kelso is a Kike]." Feature that. Without having seen this news item first.

The jacket kind of fits and I'm going to try it on for size. First-person here even though this post is sort of about Kelso doing what's best for Darryl Strawberry. Fuck AIPAC. Fuck Israel. Fuck Black Hats. Fuck Joe Lieberman. Fuck organzied Judaism. God didn't create Man. Man created God. It's the same foul stew as Fundamentalist Fascism is. Of course, those folks are all kissing cousins with the Wingnuts. They're all the fucking same. I'll take 1000 Karl Roves before ONE Joe Lieberman. At least Rove is a games player and an atheist. I'm a cultural, Atheist Jew, therefore a KIKE. Nothing more. Rove too, no? Don't need sympathy. Don't want political correctness. Your bullshit "Judeo-Christian values" okey-doke doesn't play. Call me what the fuck I am. And for fuck's sake never, ever tell me about your Jewish friends. Or how much you love Israel. I don't give a fuck.

The MSM and the politicians can't say anything bad about Israel, but I can. Fuck Israel. Where the fuck do they get off having taken their piece out of fellow Semites instead of out of the goyim what deserved it to now really stick the boot in? To bomb Syria? To threaten a nuclear attack on Iran? Israelis themselves are actually cool. This isn't about them. It's about the Israeli government and AIPAC and PNAC and Cheney and the televangelists. If Israelis won't stand up and say "no way, no fucking way," then too bad. What happens, happens. If they want to throw in with Cheney and Pat Robertson and get blown into a grease-spot, then "Mazel Tov". I'd say I'll see you in Hell if I believed in that manure.

I didn't lose any family in the -- quiet tones now -- Holocaust. I lost a grandfather I never knew to the US criminal justice system. I lost an aunt to cancer. I don't come from some noble family who suffered in silence. I come from a tough family and I only wish I were half the man my father, mother and grandparents were. I just heard a landsmann named Lou Reed telling me to "choose a side." I choose Kike. That's what I am. Golda Meir don't mean shit to me. Elie Wiesel? He's a cunt who accepted a medal from Reagan AFTER Reagan laid a wreath on SS Men's graves. Simon Wiesenthal? Is he supposed to represent ME? Fuck that shit. I bet sports. I play big stakes Omaha. I used to move money. I like to have fun and party. I like rap and punk. Those names mean as much to me as Medgar Evars does to Nas's fans. I might ask Nas or Lou Reed for an autograph for me or for me and my son, but if Golda Meir's ghost came into my bedroom and offered to blow me, I'd tell her ugly ass to take a hike.

I tried dancing around this issue telling stories of hard-ass Left-Wing Jews like Carl Rosen and Barry Schwartz and the antecedents of TimeWarner, but only the fine folk at HELL'S TAB http://thedisbrimstone-dailypitchfork.blogspot.com/ knew whom I was talking about and what I meant. So, I'm following Nas's fine example and laying it out straight and plain. With an assist from JewGirl at http://katieschwartz.blogspot.com/ who's totally una paisana and bright and funny and down and enlightened but who could never wrap her mind around the fact that even though I grew up in the city and speak some Yiddish and eat like a Jew and fuck like a Jew I am still an ATHEIST. So, as "Jew" doesn't work, and "Cultural Jew" sounds weak, I'll go with "Kike." That works just fine. It means I don't have to believe in Yahweh or think Israel is more important to me than my own cock and balls or even more important to me than my fucking wallet.

I wrote something wrong two Sundays ago about Obama getting an uptick from Oprah Winfrey and how that surprised me because while I like Seinfeld I'm not letting Jerry Seinfeld choose my candidate for me. Let me erase that. Given the brilliance of the "Schindler's List" episode [Newman catches Jerry and his girlfriend making out during the movie and tells Jerry's parents who are extremely miffed with their son], I'm fucking happy to let Jerry Seinfeld pick my candidate for me. So long as it isn't Obama. Schindler's List? Give me a fucking break. More Spielberg corn. You want to see a movie about the Holocaust with some bite? See Shoah, The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis, or even Music Box. Those movies drop science instead of being like a Jewish Missippippi Burning in which the heroes are Aryan and the victims are "the other."

Mention of the movies is important and gets back to why I'm a "Kike" and not a
"Jew." I don't fucking believe a word of the Torah and I despise those Right-Wingers who have no real balls but do have the coward's temerity to speak for me and Israel and me via Israel. My buddy SPARTACUS http://mysaturdayeveningpost.blogspot.com/ made a great comment on my post about religious believers of a couple of days ago: "All they ask, in their own roundabout way, is suspend my notion of disbelief. For $10 and a bag of Twizzlers, I can do that at the movies and have a lot more fun at it."

De acuerdo. Down here though, it's only $3.00 for the ticket and $1.50 for the corn and the seats have cup holders and are just as comfy. But bet your ass I'll be seeing something I want to see, not Schindler's List.

Kelso's Nuts love you
