Nas spoke exclusively to MTV News on Wednesday, dismissing his detractor.
"It's what he's supposed to do. He has an image to uphold," Nas said initially, laughing it off.
But the conversation took a more serious turn when Nas described O'Reilly's stance against him — and previous outbursts against peers such as Snoop Dogg and Ludacris (see "Ludacris Barks Back At Pepsi, O'Reilly; P-Roach Antics Not An Issue For Soda Giant") — as being prejudiced and outdated.
"He's a racist," Nas said. "Everybody has a marketing plan; his marketing plan is racism.

Ah, yet another, “Worship me or you are a racist” black celebrity.
What’s a “Nas”?
excuse my age and vehement negative regard for certain types of so called entertainment, but am I suppose to know or care who this Nas is??????
well I don’t, and I don’t(know, care).
It’s not racism to be against something so destructive as the rap and hiphop culture. Sorry.
Bill's right.
He is the son of Olu Dara, an avantgarde jazz trumpeter of some reknown.
He grew up in the Queensbridge section of NYC and recorded the album "Illmatic" which many critics consider to be the finest hip hop album ever recorded. It's certainly in my top 5.
Nas??
Oh, and is “Nas” short for Nasty?
Yeah Nas, I used to do that when I was a kid too. When I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say I would start calling names.
They are both performers.
It certainly isn't.
But Bill O'Reilly doesn't know anything about hip hop. If he did, he would know that Nas is not a gangsta MC and that his lyrics about violence and gunplay do not encourage the "thug life" - most of his songs are about the emptiness of friends lost and lives wasted due to gangsterism and drug dealing.
Nasir.
O'Reilly and Jones are indeed both performers.
They are also performers who like to believe they are more than performers - they have that in common as well.
What a nappy headed bore.
That’s absolutely ludicrous.
Here’s one of the songs O’Reilly specified. This is about the “emptiness of friedns lost and lives wasted to gangsterism and drug dealing”?
[Nas]
One 44, two 45’s
3 loaded clips, 4 niggas roll, one nigga drives
500 Benz, 6 reasons why
This kid should die
We shootin every motherfucker outside
Pulled on his block, jumped out the car, guns in our hand
At the same time everybody ran
There that nigga go, hiding in the crowd
Let the trigger blow, 7 shots now he lying on the ground
Blood on the floor
Then we shot some more
Niggas he was with
2 niggas hit, one nigga fell
One tryed to run, go get him son
Make sure he’s done before we bail, i aint trying to goto jail
Must handle beef, code of the street
Load up the heat, if these nigga think they could fuck around
Real niggas do real things
By all means, niggas knowin how we get down.. It goes......
Chorus (4X)
Shoot ‘em up, just shoot ‘em up, what..
(whispering)
Kill kill kill, murder murder murder
[Nas]
Driving through the roads, Suburban Chevrolet
6 tinted windows, and I’m on my way
To get up with my hoes, I pull up to they house
Not a freak to be heard, nobody came out
Ringin the bell, where in the hell
Could they be at, I’m about to leave
Steppin’ slow, where my truck was at
Who the fuck is that?
Could it be a jack?
Now pull my strap, it’s my man
And we have the same plan
There them bitches go
Civic ‘94, looking funny though
Open up the car door, funny smile
Fuck 2 already, 3rd ass was heavy
“Nas this is Sherri, Sherri this is Nas, and his man. Ready?”
Walked in the house, snatched off they clothes
Ran through them hoes
Plenty ice, that they all seemed to like
Can’t find my man, heard a blam blam
Now I’m wonderin, “In this scam, do I even stand a chance?”
He killed the hoes, took all they dough
Fire in his eyes, higher than the sky
Comin down the stairs
Now he wantin mine, reachin for my nine
Aiming with our guns at each others face, at the same time
my nine on his lips, his fifth on my chin, I start whispering
“Put your gun down, we can skip town”
Rocked him to sleep, pushed back his meat
Lift off his chain
Took his shit, emptied out close range...
Chorus (4X)
(3rd time there is no whispering of:
“kill kill kill, murder murder muder.)
Lovely song. Reminds me of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” A little.
Who cares about this piece of human debris. Anyone who thinks this garbage he claims to be music or art does not have a negative effect on our society is a lamebrain dunce....
You got me.
I was wondering what he had done to tick off a whole Naval Air Station...??
