But earlier he said black people have a birth right.. if u think people shouldn't use it that's one thing but if u think u should be able to decide who gets to certain words therefore not having them having freedom of speech.. That's where u violating people's birth rights.. Niggas/nigga/, humans/human whoever reading this
Personally as a black person with relatives that lived through segregation and that sort of thing, I don't think anyone should say the N word. It's not empowering. I feel like that we keep ourselves down when use it. You'll never see another group use their derogatory names as term of endearment. But hey I'm not going to tell another adult what to say.
The word was never about “empowerment”. Anyone who tells you that trash is lying, and the explanation makes no sense. The use of the word has morphed into something else entirely today. White people shouldn’t say it because it was never for them and only used as a racial epithet. Black people don’t use it as “empowerment”, it’s just another slang word today (obviously for black man), that white people still aren’t “allowed” to say because of their usage history.
+Zayd Shakur Considering he`s from the south I can understand how he might view the "N" word negatively but I`m not from the south so I`m more on Fat joe`s side in regards to the using that word. I use it all day and mean no disrespect.
+Zayd Shakur Yeah I agree fully with white's NEVER using the N word...however, southern music actually came from Irish and Scottish immigrants...I love blues and Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite guitarists, but stringed instruments originated from European immigrants ...modern rock combined African rhythms and beats with folk STRINGED instruments from Europe which is a beautiful thing because we all have great sounds that we combined to make AMERICAN music!
+Zayd Shakur That's why America is such a great nation...we ALL came together and ended slavery of Africans and we combined our love for beautiful music and food and culture!
As a blackman I respect his words...he respects us and the culture...the "N" word is deeper than hip hop...it goes back to a time before hip hop..and he respects that...big UPS Wolf
Yelawolf's reply at V-Nasty: 0:20 Yelawolf's response to White Girl Mob: 0:25 Yelawolf's facial expressions in regards to the above: 0:25 - 0:49 PRICELESS. XD Peace to my boy Yela!
Black Americans understand context. It's not going to hurt someone's feelings to say "Hey, my nigga". If some black people respond violently to that, they'e using it as an excuse to hurt someone.
You see it depends how you use it and to whom you use on. Don't black people will get fucking angry when a white person or a black person say it. Because it means different to them than it does to you and me. So you just got to be careful.
***** You should care about freedom of speech. I'm not saying "N word" or "F word" like a child. Sorry. Stop being the language police. What word is next? It's the principal of it.
@BigBandsOnDeck 51 R.A. The Rugged Man,Diabolic, Aesop, Vinnie Paz, Em, Apathy, Brother Ali ILL BILL, Slaine, Esoteric, NF, and thats just quick off the top
I didn't say that. It's just a word that really shouldn't be thrown around by anyone of today. No one today (at least in the U.S) has felt the actual pain of slavery. Just because there are people of the same race doesn't excuse them of doing so. And really there is no other word that is separated by race that is as sensitive as the "N" word. if there is enlighten me
Adrian Jovic again if a white person can't say it then noone can? Right? That's how yall think and see it. They use the word as a term of endearment like the word bro. Considering that white people used it as a racist slur too discriminate and exercise hate against a race cause of the color of their skin for 300 years+. So yeah white people shouldn't say it. non black people have no right to say it.
That's fine if you think that way, btw if you are Asian, (im just assuming because of your name) or not black, you have no right to say it, dont even pretend to be able too. Black people would still kick your ass if you said it. I will never say the word because I have respect.
As a white male id like to thank you.. very well said and you seriously captured all my thoughts and feelings in your answer. I have nothing but respect for this man. 💯💯💯
What happened dude... I'm white grew up around black folks, it's NOT right to call black folks the N word if you white... It don't fly, and even if it do fly a couple times your days are numbered, TRUST ME...
The only thing that bothers me is that it's socially unacceptable for white people to use the "n" word regardless of context. Of course it's wrong to use that word in a hateful fashion, but also context is important.
+Kenny Fiorisi context isn't important because the damn word was derived from hate and ignorance, slavery, and segregation. Most evil word ever created. So many synonyms like dude/man.
Lol funny how many are ignorant and really dont know shit but can assume and throw thier 2 pices of shit cents. If u dont know what the truth keep your dumbass wanna be hard comments cause u sound like the clown 😂😂
Agreed. Being from the first confederate state of the deep south, it is something that is accepted amongst us because of the struggle that our ancestors endured. We frown when other races use it because they don't share the same pain. The word was a lemon that was meant to be a derrogative, but over time has manifested into lemonade showing love for our fellow brother (in most cases) from the same trials and tribulations we've shared for over 450 years. Yelawolf knows his shit. Much respect.
I've been watching videos on the N-word all day (don't judge me) and like he said it doesn't fly in the South. I think it flies in other places because they don't have the same history. I think V-nasty is from Oakland or somewhere around that area and its a really diverse area where everybody uses it because its part of the culture. People elsewhere haven't grown up with confederate flags and police chiefs that set dogs on marchers and that's cool for them, but if they're marketing to a national audience they need to be aware.
No. People like "V nasty" (really hope that's nothing to do with the condition of her vag) say illiterate shit like that bc they need education. Go listen to her interview with djvlad.....she can't string two words together to save her life! And ppl want to take cues from a simpleton like that.
Constance Richards oakland is da hometown of the black panther party dat place has a huge history of racism and evryone hatin on da bpp all da time ppl there know what it means and what it stands for and they shuldnt condone vnasty for usin it
@@chadscott8733 I'm from south Florida, grew up with people of different ethnicities and I've used it In the urban setting. Music, friends, etc. But to call someone that due to their skin tone, no. But I truly have an entirely different outlook on life than those that were raised in different areas of this nation. The Confederate flag was never prominent in my area.
@@Common_Courtesy BS they didn't have that in your area. There was just a story on the news about a place in South Florida in the 1940's on up that were putting black kids in sweat boxes and beating them to death. No explanation to their parents on what happened to them.
ThisIsNotMyID withJaveable reason why people are saying this, is because most white people think that it is okay to say. which is why people are saying "I fucks with him now."
@Stay c.l stay you out of pocket you just tell a culture of people who don’t even know their real last names (because of whites) what they can and can’t do have some gottdam respect
@@cheesebeef4902 dude it doesn't have shit to do with respect. No one alive today has ever bought or sold a slave. I respect any human being that respects me period. When a rapper chooses to put that word in a song to make money off of then no one should get upset at anyone that decides to sing the song word for word. Actually I honestly don't think anyone should care who says it as long as it doesn't have "er" on the end and isn't being directed towards anyone. I was just saying if you don't want the word used then stop using it yourself. I meant no disrespect but it is hypocritical to use it and expect everyone else not to.
@@TheREBESTAStacy you not black don’t use the n-word unless you wanna get pop in the mouth you have lost nothing blacks lost everything .blacks are still slave’s in america.blacks lost ever gottdam thang in america and what we lost here in america can never be found again Caucasians took our language=slave caucasians took our last names=slave.we Speak the white man’s language. we have last names like Taylor Smith Jones brown the white man’s last names like a Gottdam animal like a gottdam domesticated animal just let blacks have that word and you move on goodbye
@@cheesebeef4902 if I'm singing a song or talking to my friends I definitely use the word with an a on the end and I promise Noone is popping me in the mouth unless they're willing to fave the consequences and that's yet to happen.

Joseph Montoya how about nobody uses it? Why is it ok for blacks people to say it? If y’all gonna make it into oh it’s racist and it’s hate filled, why is it ok for blacks to say it? If that’s the case, nobody should say it. Y’all know good and damn well these people aren’t being racist it’s common 2019 slang for homie or friend. Stfu
Interesting. This guy actually seems pretty intelligent. However, he could have said his piece in 30 seconds. For someone who raps so fast it takes him forever to explain things.
I think white ppl can say it with precaution because over the years nigga has changed its meaning and I don't find it offensive anymore if a white person comes up to me a and says "what up my nigga"
I support yelawolf now cuz he has his head on straight. It's about respect. I think that's all any human beings want. I would never go up to a different race of people and just snap off calling them names ECT. Just cuz they look different
Yellawolfs got that kind of smirk on his face like that one kid back in class who when you look at him it just makes you laugh and start smiling. 😏 I bet Yella would have been hilarious to kick it with back in middle school and high school dayz! 🤣😅😜
PEOPLE I DO NOT CARE WHAT RACE YOU ARE STOP USING THE: FN : N WORD IF YOU DO NOT WANT WHITE PEOPLE SAYING IT STOP USING IT YOUR SELFS . GROW THE FUCK UP
just because you have a black friend and y'all have that mutual bond does NOT I repeat does not mean you call your friend nigga in front of other black individuals. your friend May be cool with it but his friends may not and they will straight smack you down, and that's just if you're lucky. sincerely, a white southerner.
Oh, he's right about the N word, but he's a Confederate flag flying punk. He claims it's his culture, but I'm a native Texan and that flag represents the South's desire to continue to own other human beings, and they were willing to die for it. So, anyone who flies that flag can go to hell!
Ken Shaw Lmao what? You don't think that's a little melodramatic? It's a word... There are so many other things that can be changed to make the world better, that would have a MUCH more profound effect, than telling white people to stop using a single word rofl
@@mr.monsterhamformerlyknown786 I'm talking about the fact that Royce the five nine sent one of his artist to work with Yelawolf and him and his producer we're just throwing the n word around. that's what I'm talkin about F Yelawolf and any of his friends fans or family!
@@jeremiahworley6736 He sorta did in a few interviews. He said it was a racial issue and a disrespect issue. He also called Yela "David Duke". Google that name if you don't know it.
Yelawolf looks like one of those dudes who like, tries to look kinda borderline edgy punk but he plays acoustic guitars in cafes about how the stars are like, totally rad.
I'm a big rap fan, but it's either everyone can say it or no one does. Just causes division in itself when only certain people can use a particular word.
This n word controversy just confuses me. Whites made the word a racial slur, then it became a brotherly word between blacks..... Ugg I'm getting a headache, I still struggle to see how they can use that word without feeling any racial negativity
144 VIBRATION never done any good?, I mean we made the constitution 😂, and it’s common that races haven’t gotten along with other races in history, the way it generally works is that whoever is in power is fucked up to everyone else, and white people have been the ones in power throughout most of history so it may seem like it’s just us, also there isn’t going to be significant race riots because racism is no longer a huge problem in America, so please get ur black panther dumbass out of here
because black people are trying to perpetuate the separation between our races by making some words "black words" that no other race can say. its the most racist fucking shit and people dont always seem to realize it.
Me as a black man, I couldn't care less who says it, race/color/ethnicity you can't stop people from saying what they want to say they have to respect themselves before they make that decision. I have white friends who says it, to me it just dosent offend me. To me it's not a big deal.
Nigel Watson I think there's a difference between your white friends saying it around you and a white rapper saying it on a song. Obviously we could debate for hours but any respectful white person wouldn't use it like it's nothing. I also have white friends who say it and I don't mind at all as long as it's not nigga this and nigga that
You got the right idea. There's black people everywhere that i hear call eachother "nigga" everyday yet as soon as someone who isn't black say it, they get offended . Bunch of dumb asses. 1. Blacks weren't the only slaves 2. Get over that shit, stop living in the past.
The British took the Blues from Black Americans and made it big in the UK. They made it so big that White America saw their British kinsmen a-rockin' and a-rollin' and accepted it cause it was the right colour.
@@coreyjohnston9195 Are you trying to say that rock music wasn't created by black people?? You don't know what you're talking about. Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bo Diddley, and many others were at the forefront of Blues from which Rock and Roll was birthed, not to mention early Rock and Roll pioneers like Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Know your history.
Black people should be the ones to start not calling each other the n word as it is a deep derogatory adjective . Just the way it has been used by black people it has turned into a “ cool” way to call each other among young people so to speak , which is why young people ( and not so young ) from other races use it nowadays.
I'm white and I have black friends and we r close like brothers and ive never used the n word and I'm here after Royce dissed him for using the Nword with a hard R I use to like Yelawolf until him and his dj used the N word
Your tripping homeboy the word nigga is a terrible word for any man or woman to use imma black man and feel all black men and women need to quit saying it if mlk jr or malcome heard any black person using it they would be angered because they didn't and died to be treated like an equal person not a field or house nigga and best believe there is no difference the a and er at the end all folks in the south say it with an a at the end
White Girl Mob lol o wow! Rap has literally gone down the toilet with that one.. White people getting out of hand in the 2010 decade.. whatever happen to the nice white kids from around the block: Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, House Of Pain(though I wouldn't put them in that category) or even fucken Vanilla Smoothie?
Yelawolf's face around 3:00 kinda tells a story. He SERIOUSLY feels bad for the injustice he is linking white people with regarding black people. Seriously, I understand his feelings but the sooner we all stop living in the past, the sooner racism will cool down some.
Want to know the first step? To strip the hate that is tied to that word. Before you say "that's impossible", let me ask you something... Why is it impossible?
Worst thing to happen to humans was learning how to speak and put meaning behind words. It's helped in advancing life, but the way humans communicate now is crazy. Think about it. It's been called a racist term towards dark skinned people aka African Americans. Why would that race use it among themselves? Then you add the a at the end to change it from a racist term to "bro" or "homie" and nobody can use it but your race. If any other race says it, the one race that it supposedly is defined around flips shit. Not trying to stir anything. We need to as people be able to discuss things just for the sake of discussing them. That's how we solve problems and come together as people without violence or conflict. This world now is just beyond judgemental and it seems rare to be able to just evaluate things on every level. The only way we can all make this world work is to stop jumping the gun when a controversial action occurs. And what if a white person listens to rap and they like it. The rapper says the n word in it. That person can't sing or rap it aloud because they're white? Black people are around so you gotta pause whenever the rapper says it. I think it's the black person that needs to lighten up. Some bad history and experiences can't always be the reference for why a certain race's culture is the way it is. You gotta break out of that shit. Like slavery. Don't forget or can't let it slide, but at some point you gotta move on with life. The past is the past. What you do today paints a picture tomorrow and it repeats everyday.
Obviously, you're not getting what I said. That putting meaning behind our communication in certain ways has been used to control people. Manipulation of language, wording things a certain way, and so on. It's had benefits like you're saying how we have computers. But it's also had some negatives because people have used communication to cause corruption and put fear in others.
VERY well said. Thank you. Someone is using some sense and seeing it clearly. Tho I tend to think that its not REALLY about the word but about a lot of other things. Power, ego, ownership and the like. I personally would like it if nobody said it. But I think since only black people are "allowed" to use the word is the only reason its still in use in the vernacular of black culture.
As a writer I'm usually hurt by my vocabulary being shunted by just one word. But I can't think of the proper context I'd ever use that word that wouldn't hurt any of the black friends I have that I love and respect. Even if I wrote a smart essay on the cultural history of that word or something. I sincerely doubt I can pull off any use of that word that would be smarter or culturally relevant than something anyone else has already said. As a writer I'd might enjoy the challenge of it but as a human with respect for my friends there are other things I'd rather write about.
A lot of black rappers have gone on the record saying the word "nigga" is part hip hop culture and that context is everything. When asked if they think its okay for white rappers to use it they said "why not?".
you agree that black people should have "blacks only" words? should white people have "whites only" words? and buses? and schools? and water fountains? yeah, thats progressive...fucking racist.
