Nas makes his bid for Lenny Bruce-hood on “Be A N—– Too,” the first single from his upcoming album, N—–. The music has the familiar grandiosity of most late-era Nas, and the verses are a familiar grab bag of media disses, cultural refs and “shaking my third leg in the toilet” boasts. Not that anyone’s going to talk much about either of those aspects after hearing the chorus.

I’m a n—–, he’s a n—–, she’s a n—–, we’s some n—–, wouldn’t you like to be a n—– too?

To all my k— n—–s, s— n—–s, g—– n—–s, c—- n—–s, that’s right, y’all my n—–s too.

I’m a n—–, he’s a n—–, she’s a n—–, we’s some n—–, wouldn’t you like to be a n—– too?

They like to strangle n—–, blame a n—–, shoot a n——, hang a n—–, still you wanna be a n—– too?

True?

Inspired and liberated by his appropriation of the ethnic slur? Bored senseless? Unsure what all the words in the second line are? Hear for yourself.
