When I sing along to NWA I say it


I don’t interrupt my flow. Do you?

Yep. I still believe context matters. There is a big difference between repeating words, and using it as slur towards someone else.

If you are singing in mixed company do you sing "Nigeria" instead or do you still go with a hard R?


Even though they played it as a joke in the movie, this real life scenario lost a guy his football scholarship:

Nigeria is too many syllables, it wouldn't flow the same. If I were to rap in front of people that I don't know well, I would probably change it to brother, or maybe not even bother singing along. I maintain my point, but there are many people that just use it a got ya moment.

Another example is former Atlantic Hawks GM Danny Ferry. He literally read a scouting report written by someone else over the phone. He still lost his job and had to go on an apology tour.
