Nas talks about impoverished communities

Nas
Rapper Nas has alway rapped about hard times and violence that he has encounter throughout his life and his musical career.  As the 20th anniversary of his debut album "Illmatic" which some people in the Hip Hop community think is the greatest album of all time is coming up, he sees a change in impoverished communities but not for the better. He believes people has more guns today then in 1994. Nas was asked his thought on Philadelphia Eagle Desean Jackson alleged gang affiliation.  Nas said "he believed it to be contradictory that Jackson was moved from the team, but wide receiver Riley Cooper remained a part of it after his racial controversy a year earlier. "I just want to know, who is the gang sign-ologist in the NFL?" He said. "I didn't know they had Crips and Bloods on payroll to determine what signs were. If he gives a pass for Riley Cooper for saying [a racial slur] on the same team, then he's foul. The coach is foul."
