Ever since he burst onto the scene in the early 1990s, Nas has been one of the most socially and politically conscious artists in hip-hop, which means he has been particularly vocal in recent months about the ever-increasing Racial tensions in this country. In a new interview with "Time," the Queensbridge rapper discusses the Racial Divide in the United States and Compares our country to South Africa during its oppressive Apartheid era."It's **t cool to look like Apartheid South Africa 1988," the rapper laments. "How are we going to be the free world or the most powerful country when inside this country we're fighting because of skin color? That's just embarrassing. I'm one of the guys that's out there saying, 'Listen, it has to stop.'""America, we are really smart e**ugh to figure it out," Nas continues, "but I guess it's safer to hang out and be ig**rant, be hateful and think that one person is better than the other."Recently, Nas has joined Russell Simmons in the New York City protests in response to the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police ******rs.
