Nas performed last night at the special Virginia Tech concert, even though he was put under heavy scrutiny from FOX’s Bill O’Reilly.
The rapper (alongside Dave Matthews, John Mayer, & Country singer Phil Vassar) performed for more than 50,000 people to help raise spirits on the VA Tech campus. Click here to read a write up on the concert.
Yesterday he released an statement on the Bill O’Reilly controversy:
“He’s a racist,” Nas said. “Everybody has a marketing plan; his marketing plan is racism. He doesn’t understand the younger generation. He deals with the past. The people he represents are Republican, older, a generation that has nothing to do with the reality of what’s happening now with my generation. … He’s not really on my radar. People like him are supposed to be taught and people like me are supposed to let n—as like him know. I don’t take him serious. His sh– is all about getting ratings or whatever. I wouldn’t honor anything Bill O’Reilly has to say. It just shows you what bloodsuckers do: They abuse something like the Virginia Tech [tragedy] for show ratings. You can’t talk to a person like that.” [SOURCE]

ANOTHER DEBARGE BEHIND BARS
Looks like jail time runs in the family. TMZ got exclusive news on Chico DeBarge and his Aug 30th arrest.
In the police report, cops say DeBarge and a female companion were driving a Toyota Camry on a Los Angeles highway when an officer observed them stop in a turn lane and switch seats. When they were pulled over by California Highway Patrol, cops say “illegal drugs and cash” were found in the car.
Chico, who once recorded a song called “Soopaman Lover,” is being held on $30,000 bail. [SOURCE]
Police arrested Chico’s older brother El DeBarge for outstanding warrants on August 26. As of today, he’s still in jail.
SHERRI SHEPHERD JOINS WHOOPI ON THE VIEW
The AP is reporting that Sherri Shepherd is indeed the fifth host on ABC’s The View.
The network will officially make the announcement on Monday morning, according to a source close to the show.
Shepherd has already co-hosted the show several times, both during Rosie’s reign and post-Rosie, and she had been rumored to be in the top two or three choices to be the fifth host on the show (Whoopi Goldberg started this week).
Is everything about race wuith you? Fuck does race have to do with anything? The girl asked who Debarge is. Did she asked you what race they was? I swear you really half-white and mad as hell.
@ 61 She did ask what race they were . lmao
I agree with #32 @ Miz Coko
People like Bill O’Reilly send a chill up your spine especially when his backward azz views are supported by so many people in power; who believe whatever bullsh!t comes out his mouth!!! Look what happened to Luda and Pepsi!… (shaking head…d@mn shame…)
I don’t watch the view but Congrats to Sheri Sheppard. I am sure she will be a refreshing source to her audience. I think they should have chosen her ahead of Whoopi who personally i think is ” ignunt”
No she didn’t she said not to input race into any of this but….what exactly are the Debarge’s???? Just curious? Obviously she didn’t care about race as much as she cared about Debarge. You Judah lady or soemthing? Take up for your booboo girl. I ain’t mad at cha. lol
lmao@165 No Im not his lady .but she asked what are they (meaning their race)
Peace to the god!!!
NAS has exactly the right point, unfortunately expressed poorly. However, at the time
the quote was taken he may have let his emotions go a little.
As far as the DeBarge Family, that white girl is a bitch!!
Sheri Shepard is funny as hell, but she probably realizes that she needs some
steady stacks and I am sure has told herself that it is okay if she is ‘molded’ a little
by the producers of the show. That was probably added to the contract!
@31 MRS. WHITE:
That’s not the point.
Bill O’Reilly has no moral ground to speak on Nas or his ARTISTRY while he sanctions the main of vehicle of PHYSICAL violence in this country – the NRA.
Bill O’Reilly can eat a d*ck, and that’s all there is to it.
Bill O Reily is a modern day ku klux klan member. My man Nas was so on point w/ his statement. Sorry to hear another DeBarge was jailed, that fam is going down fast. Whoopi+Sherri= distaster. If Barbara Walters thought she had her hands full w/ Rosie, two black women are gonna put her to an early grave, unless they’re uncle toms.
I love Sherrie Shepard she’s hilarious and now since theres two sistas joing The View I might acutally watch it
Kanye looks hella sleepy.
Sherri will fit right in with the view cast!
Bill O’Reilly, Hannity & Colmes, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck…they are all racist. Even though half of them won’t admit it. I work with people like this. They can be racist, but will still accept your money. The law firm that I worked for does it all the time. Oddly enough it was founded by Johnnie Cochran. The Yts there talk about their black clients and mimic slave talk, but that money is good no matter how black someone is. The black attorneys don’t speak up, which is condoning it IMO. The YTs are think, “Oh well, I’m working under Johnnie Cochran’s name, so I’m not racist.”
Luckily I’ve switched to the defense side of law.
Oh & since Kanye reads this, holla at me if you need a lawyer or a date. lol
Nas is 100% right. Anyone who watches the Bill O’Riley should be ashamed of themselves. Not only is that show not NEWS, it’s home to the most ignorant talk I’ve ever heard. I find it funny how someone as ignorant and unintellegent as Bill O’Reily has a the moral authority over Hip-Hop, while he creates a show that provides a platform for ignorance and intolerance. Such hipocrosy!
Bill O’Reilly is exploiting VA Tech for his own personal attention. He should be absolutly ashamed of himself. Nas was right, Bill O’Reilly is a nigga – an ignorant person. I don’t understand why anyone ever takes this fool serious.
Nas’ droppin’ the knowledge. O’reilly needs to crawl back into that dinosaur egg he was hatched from… he’s irrelevant. Word.
TELL EM’ NAS.{A fist raised}
Wow.That is so sad about the debarges childhood
Shit has depressed me 
It explains why the brothers are so messed up.
Tell em Nas speak the truth! Bill O’ Reilly makes me sick to the stomach. His right-wing George Bush pandering ass still thinks we’re living in the slave trade. Old ass mofo, I hate him.
Nas is a great spokesperson for Hip-Hop and I’m proud we’ve got him to represent us!
#63…and Rosewood came on last night
SMH about Chico DeBarge. He used to be so FINE!
Concreteloop is doin it big!…fvck u bill o’reilly!
Next guess on Bill O’Reilly …. Talib Kweli and Common … Nas bringing up the rare !!!
Chico was there for no more than 5 hours and was released because it was not his car…..Now El on the other hand is still locked up due to outstanding warrants.
Bill O’reily how ever you spell your name need to shut his racist ass up he’s a bitch nas is right he is trying to get ratings because this is the frist I ever heard of Bill O’bitch everything he was saying was just off the hook and untrue!! (I can try to explain on how he was wrong but I ain’t trying to type a novel) and that black dude with the glasses I am so shamed we are suppose to support each other dude was on O’bitch side. Fuck O’bitch and fuck that black dude in the glasses
typo his name^^
I love me some Nas man, I love how dude combine street wisdom with spiritual knowledge in his songs….Bill Ol fool can jump in a river….i’ll mail him God Son cd tell him to listen to Nothing Last forever…or hell even his latest cd Hip Hop is Dead…play Blunt Ashes or that track with him and Anthony…mayne Nas is the truth…Nas tries to open pplz views through most of his songs…Nas to me is no ordinary materialistic spittin woman bashin rapper…he is waaay more than that..thats why he has hataz like 50 who can never inspire the way Nas does through songs, hatin him because he doesnt choose to be a sell out. They knew exactly what they were doin when they chose Nas to perform. God Bless him….Nas baby you the best there is….fuck what they say continue to do you..and pleaaassssseee dont become mediocre or commercial that is sooo beneath you pa….I will always support you Nas because you are what hip hop is trully about….
“Black princess its an ugly world”-Nas…..you aint lyin…………
damn thats wonderful!
black women are making a move in mainstream television!
im proud of them and i like sherry!
bill is an idiot…i agree some hip hop are not positive but there are some artists that are trying to make a change. fox news on a whole are racists.
i love chico! thats my boo….love him!
big up to kanye for shoutin out CL
Nas spoke nothing but the truth.
Congrats to Sherri Shepard.
Kanye imma a huge fan keep up the good work.
God bless the Debarges.
I’m glad Nas spoke up about that fool. His comments are so ignorant and unfounded, its ridiculous and sad. Why does he feel he has the right to look down on others? I guess thanks to fools like Cam’ron and his ignoratnt comments on 60 minutes, people like Bill O’Reilly do have a voice. But Nas ain’t no fool so, PROPS!
I LIKE HOW NAS TOLD IT HOW IT IS.
OBVIOUSLY BILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL RAPPERS. NOT JUST BLACK.
HIM AND EMINEM GOT BEEF TOO. SO ITS NOT JUST A RACIAL THING. HES AGAINST ALLL RAPPERS.
AND BILL PURPOSELY MIS PRONOUNCED NAS’ NAME. HE KNOWS HOW ITS PRONOUNCED. HE WAS JUST BEING AN A**HOLE.
IN THE WORDS OF EMINEM
“FU** BILL O’RIELLY”
Nas is one of THE MOST INTELLIGENT rappers out there. Many rappers are all street sense and no book sense or common sense. Nas is blessed to have all three
Nas is definitely spot on. Bill O’Reilly is a straight herb word up. I am a teacher and I have master’s degrees and I still use the term n!gger. Words are often characterized by the context within which they are being used. N!gger is a term that this is especially true for. Bill O’Reilly is the worst type of n!gger because he relies on the pre-established notions (very racist notions, I might add) that white people have of African Americans and his think tank (obviously devoid of any real blacks if you’re attacking Ludacris and then Nas out of all rappers)in order to keep ratings (think $$$$$) and the status quo alive.
I LOVE KANYE!!!! Bill frustrates me and i wish rosie o donnel was still on tv, so someone can publicly offend him!!! congrats to whoopi and ms sherri.
nas quote is politically correct and gets the point across, so ya gotta love nas. and once again I love KANYE WEST!!!!!!
Glad Nas put that racist prick in the skillet!

Amazing issues here. I’m very happy to peer your post. Thank you a lot and I am having a look ahead to touch you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
