Racism is still alive and well in America. It actually never left, but it did seem to tone down for a while.
Recently, there's been an increase in blatant hatred by racists towards African Americans, Hispanics and Muslims. What can that be attributed to?
Nas was a recent guest on Revolt TV'sMusic Talks and had a discussion with Andre Harrell about what he's witnessing and in his opinion, the root cause of it.
Andre Harrell: How are you handling what's going on with Black Lives Matter and the police? How are you dealing with this? And how active are you with that?
Nas: I thought that we were past (racism). I couldn't imagine that people haven't changed since decades ago. And that the whole world is now experiencing again what happened in the 60's.
Harrell: A severe level of racism.
Nas. Yes. It's a lot to do with Barack being in office ... racists who don't like him in office and it's a reaction to it. It happens when things change in this country. There used to be lynch parties because of an achievement by African Americans. When Barack got in office things just happened, just triggered off. The racists now, they can't handle it, they're going too far. We need a healing to come and reeducate people about how to deal with each other in the world.
Anything I can do, I'm willing to do. We need to be thinking. I think that all of us in the spotlight have to look at people like Muhammad Ali. And just thinking about what he had to go through, how did he handle it and what did he do that was effective to help bring this thing together.

West spent over a week at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, getting treatment, before being released into the care of his personal physician.

The music industry's queen of beefs is back it.
Azealia Banks lobbed verbal shots at Nicki Minaj after apparently being dissed in the new mobile game "Nicki Minaj: The Empire."
In the game a character describes an album called "Fan2Sea"as "obnoxious screech that goes on for hours."Since her 2012 mixtape is called "Fantasea," the "212" rapper took offense. She wrote a lengthy response via Facebook, criticizing everything from Nicki's looks to her taste in clothes.
Read below:
“Nicki girl….. now listen. Don’t start throwing shade cause you miss safaree and know that I’ve actually made a BANGER with him.
Don’t get mad, get even. Slim down a bit (especially in your neck and arms). Decrease the butt just a bit (I’ve seen your butt make some really expensive dresses look really cheap) and STOP WEARING SPANDEX AS AN OUTFIT FOR FUCKS SAKE.
Also stop calling yourself the queen of rap. Queens don’t wear spandex sweety. Marketing genius yes, but your cheap made in China perfume smells like car freshener and your beverage tastes like kitchen cleaner.
McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but no one is telling McDonald’s that they’re the pinnacle of cuisine and taste. This is true of you.
You run around the meadow collecting all the low hanging fruit so you may turn around and congratulate yourself for having the most fruit, but all of the fruit is mealy and mushy.
I don’t understand why you are so impressed with yourself.
Do yourself a favor and image search gaga 2011 and pick that back up! This “real” Nicki is not as interesting as Gaga-knock off Nicki.
GIVE THE GIRLS WHAT THEY WANT. And stay tuned for my joint with your man. I really think you’re gonna love it!
In 2017 I hope you find some new inspiration and decrease your butt implants you would honestly look SOOOOO much better if they were just 150cc smaller.
Cheers to female rap!
Happy Holidays!
-Azealia"
Nicki doesn't back down from a challenge. It will be interesting to see how she decides to respond.
