Some of the reactions the algorithm fed me on twitter are wild

These takes me back to the time Nas was trying to name his album with a hard r

I was a little too young to feel what the reaction was on the ground but I found this lil reuters article

Anybody remember any funny s*** from this?

What do we think about when an artist names an album something wild, does everybody get to say it or do rap fans need to approach this more sensitively?

Also funny that Hakeem "I Love Israel" Jeffries was leading the political charge against Nas back then

it’s obscure enough that most people probably don’t know and don’t have bad intentions saying it

maybe he shouldve given it a title for white people like sadhugold did for some of his projects

Fr I had never heard the slur until 2025

We have old ancient slurs in this country that can be resurrected like evil spirits

American Culture

Yeah because what Nas named his album was a super obscure term that the average person had no context of or understanding of where it came from

Reading on the word after first hearing the album title why are white people so obsessed with black skin

The Don Imus controversy referenced in the Nas article oh my GOD

Rest in piss

Fixed title

He real for this

F*** this nigga and Cory Booker tbh

You already know

Also f*** Richie Torres too while we're at it

Dude spends more time d***riding Israel than serving his NY constituents

i thought billy woods was white

"They were the second most popular children's toy in Europe in the first half of the 20th century, after the teddy bear. Golliwogs were banned by Nazi Germany in 1934 on the grounds they were inappropriate toys for Aryan children.4"

With a name like Billy right?

His dad was an African revolutionary but he's like a Brooklyn guy

was expecting this thread to be about I’m Gay by Lil B

this woulda been fire

Shoutout Lil B I thought of bro, but he'd have to call it "I AM A F*" to be qualified as a slur which would have defeated the purpose

“Well golly”

You mean to tell me white folks been saying “well n*gg**r” this whole time?!

Ngl
Was the Golliwog the inspiration for Tyler’s St Chroma persona?

Interesting

This is fan made but u ain't the 1st to think it:

Gonna relisten to it

no way

google exists; anyone cudve searched that title and seen wassup. + the doll on the album cover evokes some racial undertones if ure even half aware of the legacy Blackface has in the US

i better not see anyone put golliwog in their display name

at best it was to do some cursory exploration of it on the album, at worst he doesnt even realize or care thats the imagery he's reinforcing
