DOWNLOAD: Nas -What It Is (prod. DJ Khalil)
If you're not first...You're last.
Nas is set to join members of ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org, two political organizations, in delivering a petition to Fox News' New York offices Wednesday afternoon (July 23).
The petition demands that the network cease their attacks on black Americans, specifically Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, during their news broadcasts.
In a press release announcing the event, the organization accuse the network of an alleged pattern of incidents -- including an onscreen graphic that referred to the Obama's wife as his "baby's mama," a pundit who "confused" Obama with terrorist al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and then joked that both should be "assassinated," and the now-infamous comment by a Fox anchor who described the Obamas' fist bump as a "terrorist fist jab."
It also cites an incident in February, when Nas nemesis Bill O'Reilly talked about calling a "lynching party" to deal with Michelle Obama.
"When Fox talks about lynching the woman who may soon be our first lady and then refers to this wife and mother as a 'baby mama,' they are maligning not only the Obamas, but black women and black people across this country," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org in a statement.
Color of Change, Move On, and Nas are scheduled to deliver this petition at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Last week, Nas and director Rik Coredero shot the video for the controversial “Be a Nigger Too.” The video, shot in LA and New York, is set to screen next week in New York with more promo pics coming. According to MissInfo, the video is set to feature many cameos that are actually of substance and not just a random nobody throwing up a gang sign.
I heard this cut on Cipher Sound's this morning in the car. I had to find it and post it immediately. Finally a song with a message. Let our people know the truth Nas!!!

Where's the good old STL??? Why doesn't anyone want to come to Saint Louis anymore. We have a huge Hip Hop scene. (Bump Nelly) We have beat up a few performers in the past i.e MC Eiht, DJ Quik...and we boo'd a few legends Biggie and R Kelly for example, but we sell out shows.
Give us a chance!!! We'll be nice, I promise.
THIS IS THE LIST OF PERFORMERS TO DATE: A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, De La Soul, Rakim, Method Man & Redman, Raekwon & Ghostface Killah, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Murs, Kidz In The Hall, Spank Rock (blegh, they better be booed off stage), Santogold, Kid Sister, Wale, Flosstradamus, Jay Electronica, The Cool Kids and it will be hosted by B-Real (Cypress Hill) and Supernatural.
I don't see what the big deal is. I think it is just awkward for white reporters to find another way to say the name of his album in interviews. But, Nas is a smart man. He is not exploiting the word or the meaning behind it...he's about to learn us something! LOL. Check out the video after the jump.
