IFWT_Ja_Rule_N_Word

As we exit the year 2015, race continues to be one of the most discussed topics; aside from White police officers killing Black teens, White rappers using the n-word was talked about also.

Ja Rule sat down for a VladTV session when he was asked about using the n-word around his children, and the new trend of White rappers who do not hold their tongue in a verse.

““It’s hip-hop, man,” Ja Rule said. “The kids listen to hip-hop. They use the n-word. Point blank, period. There’s no way around it,” Ja says. “I’m at a concert the other day. Nothing but white kids at the concert. Metro Boomin is deejaying and shit, right? What does he throw on? ‘All day, n***a.’ And he’s fading the ‘n***a’ part. And those white kids are singing that ‘n***a’ word like a motherfucker.”

With the music making the use of the word a norm, what is an artist to do; censor the lyrics depending on the look of the crowd?

“For us that are older, we know how much hatred the word has behind it, how much malice, you know, the word was created and invented and the harm it was meant to do. We understand that. I don’t think the young kids understand that. I don’t think they get it how we get it. I do try to tell me kids,” Ja Rule adds.

#IJS: We’re in a new generation of hip-hop. When the culture first emerged, a White rapper was unheard of, let alone a White rapper using the n-word. Should one chuck it up to the game?
