RaPpEr NaS pRoTeStS oUtSiDe FoX NeWs


In New York City yesterday veteran rapper Nas, took to the streets to protest outside the Fox News building -- along with the organization called 'Color of Change'.

The Hip Hop lyricists' new song titled "Sly Fox", speaks of the lies and rumors often reported by Fox News, and caught the attention of this particular organization who retained more than 600 thousand signatures -- in a plea to remove the propaganda machine from the airwaves.


Bill O'Reilly, host of the "O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News, stated that Nas was causing commotion as a way to trigger record sells and publicity for his new album. 

As a person that has followed the "One Mic" rapper, I can attest that the young brotha's lyrics have always been political in nature; giving way to history lessons for our youth. Nas constantly educates the people with his words within his music, rapping about slavery, Africa, and the US government -- all you have to do is listen.

Nas' stand against Fox News is certainly not a gimmick. Him taking a stand against hateful rhetoric, means taking a stand for us all.

So thank you Nas, for your bravery and strength.
