Critical reception New Release Tuesday's Mark Ryan stated that it was "hip-hop evangelism at its finest" and Bizzle "touches on use of the " N" word and pimp as ways to greet one another".

Nigga
''Nigga'' () is a colloquial and vulgar term used in African-American Vernacular English that began as a dialect form of the word ''nigger'', an ethnic slur against black people. The word is commonly associated with hip hop music and African-American gang culture. In dialects of English (including standard British English) that have non-rhotic speech, ''nigger'' and ''nigga'' are often pronounced the same. Usage The use of ''nigger'' non-pejoratively within the black community was documented in the 1912 novel ''The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man'' by James Weldon Johnson, in which he recounted a scene in New York City around the turn of the century: I noticed that among this class of colored men the word "nigger" was freely used in about the same sense as the word "fellow," and sometimes as a term of almost endearment; but I soon learned that its use was positively and absolutely prohibited to white men. There is conflicting popular opinion on whether there is any me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
