Dans cette interview Nas s'est exprimé en profondeur sur un des morceaux de son nouvel album, le fameux "Sly Fox" où il revient sur l'accrochage qui l'avait opposé à Bill O'Reilly, ce dernier avait trouvé la participation de Nas au concert à Virgina Tech comme une insulte aux victimes de la fusillade.
Fox News' Bill O'Reilly denounced your participation in a memorial concert at Virginia Tech as an "insult to the victims" of the shootings in 2007. You made a song about your feud with him.
"Sly Fox."
You refer to MySpace and the New York Post in that song. It sounds like you did some fact-checking on Rupert Murdoch's corporate holdings. Was that a matter of knowing thy enemy?
Yeah, if you're gonna get into it with Fox News, then you gotta know about who owns it. Rupert Murdoch is a great business guy, and some of his shows are entertaining as hell.
Like what?
Cops. I couldn't believe an educated person -- I checked up on O'Reilly's schooling—would be so stupid.
There's a line in "Sly Fox" about how Fox News makes you want to donate to PBS.
I love PBS! I grew up on it. If I had to say which channels were good, I'd say, you got your PBS, your History Channel, your Discovery.
On y apprend aussi que Nas a commencé à s'intéresser à la politique en 2000 lors de la fameuse élection présidentielle avec l'affaire du recompte des votes en Floride. Et en ce qui concerne le Show TV que Nas et Kelis avaient en projet, il y a eu 2 pilotes de tourné, le couple n'étant pas satisfait le show a été abandonné.
