On Thursday, Nas publicly took a stand on Reverand Jesse Jackson’s recent comments regarding Presidential candidatte Barack O’Bama.  Never one to let a moment for controversy slip away, Jackson made a controversial videotaped statement on Fox News, saying, “See, Barack’s been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based … I want to cut his n—s off.” 

Nas, not one to turn down the spotlight responded with harsh words of his own: “I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater,” Nas fumed during a conference call. “His time is up. All you old n—as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that sh– no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banner’s and Young Jeezys. We’re the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain’t helping nobody in the ‘hood. That’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

Jackson has since apologized for his words, but Nas is still contemplating how far to take the war of words with the Reverand.  The rapper has expressed interest in continuing to rip Jackson apart on his new untitle LP. The material has already been leaked to the public and many see it as another classic in the Nas catalog.  As far as the feud with Jackson, we’ll just have to see where that goes.
