Nas fires back at Bill O'Reilly
Source: Yahoo

Nas has hit back at Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly, who claimed that his inclusion at a concert dedicated to the Virginia Tech massacre is insulting to the memories of the victims.

O'Reilly claimed that picking an artist such as Nas for the Concert For Virginia Tech, which took place last night (September 6), "insults the victims, the university, and the entire commonwealth."

However, Nas has now hit back at O'Reilly, claiming he is racist.

In an interview with MTV, he said: "Everybody has a marketing plan; his marketing plan is racism.

"It just shows you what bloodsuckers do: they abuse something like the Virginia Tech for show ratings. You can't talk to a person like that."

1. Good for Nas...when people start standing up to the O'Reilly's
and other hatemongers they will shut up.....they have not been called on their bullshit for so long that they think they can still get away with it.....Power to the People....Power to artists like the Dixie Chicks and others who told the truth...

8. Nas is a genius
Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 09:12 PM by alcibiades_mystery
Lyrically, Nas is one of the best to ever pick up a mic. He's just ridiculously good. A poet. He would talk circles around Bill O'Reilly.
