Nas

Artist: Nas
Title: Black Republican
Album: Hip Hop Is Dead
Year Released: 2006
Record Label: Def Jam/Columbia
Catalog #: 1718420

Black Republican is a song about his struggle to change his socioeconomic status and about the little hope that he has at keeping that status. Hopefully he isn't speaking for his entire community. Nas speaks about how he is rich now, but he has to return to where he came from, "Can't turn my back on the hood, I got love for them/Can't clean my act up for good, too much thug in 'em/Probably end up back in the hood, like f*** it then." It is a song about truth and it has a lot of momentum.
