Nas isn’t here for Donald Trump or even Mike Pence for that matter, but what he is here for is the people. He made that much clear in an “Action Speaks Louder Than Words” open letter he penned for Mass Appeal this week.
While Nas’ letter did primarily center around taking action and defending the people, the Queensbridge icon did take time to address the president, who he flatly dubbed as “racist.”
“We all know a racist is in office,” Nas wrote. “People can talk their shit. Comedians can sound racist. People can go through their moments of that shit, but when you have the responsibility of being President and you carry on like that, you send a strong message to people outside of your group that they ain’t worth shit.”
The rhymer further went on to explain that by taking an “I don’t give a fuck” approach to the antics of Trump and Pence, he’s able to focus on creating change for the people.
“I don’t even have time for Trump or Pence. I don’t give a fuck,” he wrote. “My focus is on what’s happening with real people in their everyday lives. How they behave, the decisions they make, and how that affects families. I grew up in a single-parent household, so I was affected by that life. But it didn’t stop me. So I speak to the everyday people. I speak to everybody. If the people are bothered by it, I speak on it. If the people are bothered and want change, I speak on that.”
Toward the latter half of the letter, Nas declared, “My music is action. What I’m giving you through my music is my actions.”

Well you’ve clearly never smoked before silent farter. Hate an ignorant opinion.
We all know all of hollywood is just attacking Trump for attention so L for Nas and Eminem
And Snoop is a pimp that became a hoe
Its called an opinion
Based on what? All these rappers are mere puppets.
you got the second part of your name right…now let’s work on that first name…u have no idea…read the full letter. for all the real ones..I think it’s lyrics to a song on the album we all waiting on…Nasir
Son…do your googles….This is the guy that dropped a kids motivational song during his beef with Jay Z (I know I can) so dead all that talk like Nas got high and got all spiritual and enlightened.
Really thought I would find that troll named fuckqueensbridge, he hates nas with compassion
You mean with a passion?
Kind of like obama did by showing more love to african americans and muslims and pretty much waging war on caucasian america? Oh but wait im an idiot i forgot black people CANT be racist lmao
Don’t you have a dick to go suck somewhere?
No but mines sure dry from your mama sucking on it and im even kinda starting to get cottonmouth from eatting your sisters booty for so long you got a freaky family even got yo granny massaging the sack
I love you NaS but what’s the point of this letter? You’re saying you speak through your music but you haven’t dropped an album in almost 5yrs
He’s dropped songs addressing the injustices we face as recent as last year.
Really? On what songs? “The Land” with Erykah Badu?….or “Nas album done” with Khaled where he just disses Trump and then uses the track to promote his upcoming album. Let’s bring up solutions not just disses towards our lame potus.
Off top, anyone who has a negative opinion on this article you can assume is a suspected white supremacist or an Uncle Ruckus. Let’s see if DX deletes my comment like the last time I used the term white supremacist. I’ll forever never visit this site again.
I said what i said about Nas for a reason. I hate to see entertainers bash one politician but let another politician slide but not realizing the politician they let slide or they approve of is 10x worse than the person they are criticizing. Where was Nas criticism of Obama? I like the fact that Trump is a racist at least I know he is upfront with it and I know what to expect but again Obama made ppl believe but didn’t execute or poor execution overall. Nobody wants to have an opinion when Obama secretly pays for a $20 million dollar house in the middle east and nobody says shit when a president only makes $400k/year. Like what secret deal did Obama allow to happen? or the creation or abomination that is call Obamacare that fucked over poor ppl and yes I know what I’m talking about b/c I’m a comptroller for one of the biggest hospitals in NYC. Obamacare allows carriers to hike up premiums by double which makes the insurance market very unstable. What about that secret Iran deal nobody wants to have an opinion on? So Nas can make all the motivational songs he wants but when you do not know the actual facts and just shoot off the hip it doesn’t make sense to me.
Yeah..um…the problem with what your saying is that he NEVER advocated one candidate over the next…or let anyone slide….he kept it about Trump and Pence….So….you breaking records in L’s taken in one post…..
You miss the point. If Nas was consistent with his criticism of everybody in political office than I might not have something to say but this pick and choose shit is wack. Nothing bad to say about one but has stuff to say about another. Go in on everybody I say
But your comparing Trump to Obama that’s number one. Two have you listened to nas Discography? He has taken shots at political leaders several times in his songs. He’s always spoke on those topics so what the fuck are u talking about??? Cause he wrote an open letter this time? People just get on here just to comment but no facts smh.
Nas taking political shots through his music changed the world how again? I keep forgetting. Again your missing my point but let me say this….If Nas was more outspoken like Killer Mike then i wouldn’t of been so critical of this open letter. I’ve seen Killer Mike discuss various political issues in detail on so many media platforms as oppose to seeing Nas on the Bill Maher show where he couldn’t formulate 2 sentences on a subject matter he should know about. Just saying
The “open letter” wasn’t even written well. It was below a 7th grade English imo.
the only rapper i ever saw criticize Obama was lupe fiasco. all these rappers are shit.
Nas stop bitching if want to change something then be a member of a political party.
What are you doing for your community?
So know you gonna rap on your next album about Trump and make money because of Trump? Nas the hypocrite!
You a fucking idiot.. dude only stated a fact and your on here acting like did something wrong.. and his album hasn’t even dropped so who know what it will sound like or who he will talk about.. like just shut up smh
Difference between Pac and Nas is that Pac was active on and off the mic, shit I mean he even was considering running for president.
Celebrated communist rapper Nas, who pals around with celebrated black supremacist Louis Farrakhan, calls his political opponent a racist.
But didn’t Farrakhan endorse Trump during the campaign?
lost so much respect for nas after he went for nicki’s hoe ass, smh
mine went out the window when he did a track with someone he buried.
I love Nas but I thought he was a Black Republican? He can’t be beefin’ with his party choice. What are youuuuuu doooooooing?!
SHUT YO DUM ASS UP
Dude gon have a whole sleeve of bitches names by da time he 50. Ol succa fa luv tricc. Liek if wat dude got to say matter doe. Fucc trump but fucc obama too an fucc bush. Real spit doe.
Where is Fuck Queensbridge?! Where are you?!
He busy spying on momma in her bathroom
God’s Son is right. Fuck Drumpf and his racist ass supporters.
He sucking Jay Z dick!
He sucking Jay Z sausage!
Some may hate him now, but it aint hard to tell if Nas ruled the world, he’d represent the one love we all crave for.
Of course Nas hates Trump, he blames all his problems on the government, the man etc. King Hov is out here making more under Trump than Obama, more awards and more popular. Keep being a loser Nas with your “real people”(broke loser stans) that didn’t vote.
Stfu clown u a whole weirdo get off nas dick and get jay-z balls out ya jaws
I bull crap you not… you suck Jay’s dick harder than any porn star would…You are such a hater! Keep fighting Nas for our people and we will continue to stand with you… The GOAT Nas!!!
Welp, time to delete all of Nas’ music out of my library and boycott his ass now. Nas and Jay-Z are both fake Black Republicans.
Dont delete the good music (1992-2003), but boycott streaming/buying/attending concerts of the n_@_z_i pedophile supported Jay-Z
any reason behind dubbing the president of the united states a racist? thanks hiphopdx for the headline with nothing behind it. Fake News* Sad to see an intellectual rapper jump behind the mainstream deception and corruption of the media.
Fuck Donald Trump
Salute to Nas
any reason/facts behind the hate?
So before Trump was president, numerous rappers were giving him shout outs and praising him in their songs. Now, all of a sudden, they’re dissing him, calling him racist and saying “Fuck Donald Trump”. Why? Because it’s the cool thing to do now?
I’m trying to understand this…. before they could even feature him in their music.
Its simple..all we knew of him really was the business man and Apprentice host. But running for public office…uncovers alot of your true feelings and hidden agendas
Oh yeah and the DEM and the media presstitutes seem to desperately want war with russia instead of teaming up to stop Isis. How crazy is that?
Oh and all those leaks at white house to undermine trump? Its dangerous and its called treason. The press are guilty of treason too since they know the sources. They want to impeach him so he cant stop the corruption but its crazy. That brings civil war. They are going all in even if it means civil and/or global war. Craaaazyyy mfcuzzers indeed
Oh and kids Hillary wanted more refugees for their votes ok? She was bombing them on the other side. Crazy bitch still here tho but that fake foundation is dead
To call Trump a racist is inaccurate to me. This guy isn’t racist, he is a supremist. He feels that black people are on the low end. A racist is just a person that hates another race. This guy feels he is way above that. A supremist is what I’d call him.
D Trump F Underwood (minus the smarts and random killings)… The white house, issa house of cards haha
He was smoking weed
Ayyo Nas! Unfollow him on twitter to justify this shii then.
Nas is the racist pieace of shit….trying to put it on someone else. When he is the real racist piece of shit just like the rest of them black ass cry baby bitches.
FUCK NAS … HE AS KNOW ROOM TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE BEING A RACIST . WHEN HE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST RACIST THERE IS HIM AND DAVID BITCH ASS BANNER
