Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 Nas’ Message to The Youth Regarding Chicago Teen Beaten and Killed

Nas has hit the blogs regarding the 16 year-old honor student that was beaten and killed. The youth really should take heed to this message:
Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the loss of a love one was never cool.

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, anyone. But….

We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, fila’s, and name plate chains. Deaths over “he say she say”!!!!! “I’m from This block or I’m from that block,” or “my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay!!!”

I remember feeling like I was the hardest “n*gga” breathin. And I couldn’t wait to prove it.  But let’s think. What r we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state, feel your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.

You have the ability and mindpower to change the way we are looked at. Look who’s watching us young warriors, look who’s throwin us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Lovin to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another. Young warriors…. We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood, Blood n Blood Out, Belly!

When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS….and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the Almighty. I’m with you young warriors. You’re me and I’m you. But trust me! You are fighting the wrong war.

This sh*t sucks !!

-Nas

Comment by Scoop on September 29, 2009 at 5:31pm: I'm glad someone stepped up and addressed this in the right way....it all dates back to the willy lynch days...he was sent to teach whites how to control slaves around the world. His main method was to turn us all against each other..he trained us to hate ourselves, and to only trust, and like the whit man....this just proves that that method still lives with us...we gotta change ppl.....let's fight the right war!!!!!!

Comment by J.R. on September 29, 2009 at 5:49pm: Good look Nas, hopefully some of you dumb motherfuckers out there will stop trying to be so fuckin hard all the time and realize what the fuck is really going on out here. All this stupid ass violent gangster shit against your own people is played the fuck out. Wake up and stop beefing with the dude who looked at you the wrong way or the dude who wore a certain color you don't approve of; unite and get pissed at the people holding you down.

Comment by Brentberry21 on September 29, 2009 at 9:08pm: I knew someone like Nas would be able to speak out about this...... suprised other rappers who (inspired) people around the world not saying nuthin. Take a look at what this world has become. Done the violence is pointless, all these faggot ass motherfucka's want to just be hard and earn some type of street cred? think again this world is fulled with hate and it's not only gonna take Nas to say one thing others have to take a stand against violence. May that young kid stay with the man upstairs! prayers to the fam
