Bossip Exclusive: Nas & Co. vs. The “Faux” Network
Posted by Bossip Staff
Nas has joined the fight to end Fox’s hate mongering ways:
Hip hop star Nas will join members of ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org on Wednesday to deliver 620,127 petition signatures demanding that FOX end its pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans including presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. The group will make the delivery at 2:00pm on Wednesday, July 23rd at FOX in Manhattan.
Over the last several weeks, FOX has had a string of incidents that many believe are a veiled attempt to prey on racism and intolerance and cast the Obamas as “outsiders”: an on-screen graphic referred to Mrs. Obama as “Obama’s baby mama,” a pundit “confused” Obama with Osama and then joked they should both be assassinated, and an anchor called a loving fist bump between Barack and Michelle a “terrorist fist jab.” In February, Bill O’Reilly talked about calling a “lynching party” to deal with Michelle.
Kudos to Nas for stepping up to address that venomous network. It’s not common to see successful artists make such bold moves. If you’re interested in joining him in the fight to stop “Faux” and their racist agenda, click here.

Nas on G status.
its also a good boost for his album
so, where do we go to sign the petition?? I would sign it… good job for Nas, it’s a good look for the hip hop community to get involved…
July 23rd I might be in Berea
@ anything black
i think so too
but who the fuck cares??
A man stepping up behind his words…..
OMG, he looks so handsome. Just saw his profile on m’illionaire d’ating s’ite “”"”"M e e t i n g W e a l t h y.c o m”"” ” last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on that site. Is he single now? Just curious!
————————————————————–
Nas, along with these organizations, mean business. We have to really hit them where they hurt. We know that’s in the wallet. We need to find out who the biggest advetisers are for “Faux” network and go from there.
I really enjoy when clebrities use their “CELEBRITY” for good.
I love pro-active causes!
Dang I wish I could go.. IF you live in NY go we should all stand up for change.
I’m there
I feel what Nas is doing! And Fox is absolutely out of control with what they are doing and I also believe they should mention the Jesse Jackson Dibacle.
Good Work Nas! We gotta stick together and get ‘em where it hurts. This is the type of voice the black community needs. Now old Jesse and Al can sit on a bench in the park and feed the pigeons until they’re called home to glory.
Well alright now!!! Nas handlin’ up…
Has Ruperts PR team put a statement together about this?

Big ups to Nas for showing his growth & maturity, not just in his music but in his actions… I love the fact that he is using his power & influence to motivate others to take a stand against bullsh#t…
Anybody can see that Barack Obama is a good man and for them to refer to his wife Michelle as his “baby mama” was disrespectful & low dow and dirty (*their predjudice/racism was exposed without a doubt on that one)…
glok9n….
Which one? Football or the owner of Fox trying to get outta this bright light blasting his network…
IM JUST ME! HEY SISTA YOU! GET YOUR MUNCHES READY IM SPARKING THAT GOOD BUJU BANTON!
GOOD MORNING IM JUST ME!!!(waving as i give myself a streeettcchhhh and a morning yawnin…lol)
FOX IS DEFINATELY OUT OF CONTROL. IT IS GOOD TO SEE A YOUNG BLACK MAN OFFERING A HAND IN THIS FOOLISHNESS. A HIP HOP ARTIST AT THAT. THE SAME ONES THAT GET RIDICULED AS RIFF RAFF AND TROUBLE. THATS RIGHT NAS!!
Erm…
Well hell-the-f*ck-o!!!

I would absolutly sign that petition!!! Im tired of Fox news and all that bullshit and hate that they are spewing!!! I wish they would throw Bill O’Reily’s and all his Klansmen asses out of the network!!! How dare they refer to Michelle as “Obamas Baby Mama” thats pure ignorance and it I cant wait until they pisses me of everytime!!! I cant wait until the inaugerate Obama as the first African American President of the united states!!! Stop all the Bitchassness!!! GO NAS!!!
Fox News = Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
What Fox News did to “Mumble Mouth”, excuse me Jesse Jackson was straight up DIRTY…
Whenever they wanted to hear the opinion of what Black Americans thought about an issue (like we’re just one monolithic group and ALL hold the same thoughts & views on various issues) who did they call = Mumbl…, Jesse Jackson or “Hot Comb” using Albert Sharpton…
And the second this ni@@a (pun intended) slipped up, look at how they tried to do him in = Real snake like…
First they bit him = released the tape of him talking about cutting Obama’s nuts off…
Released the venom = the following week they released (After Nas - Ni@@er Album dropped) the whole version with him saying the “N” word while attacking Obama…
It was all good just a week ago..
How you gonna do that to somebody that you call up for favors on the regular… Fox News is DIRTY as sh#t…
Watch you enemies, but watch your (so called) friends even closer…
People know who your friends are..
I love Nas’ new song.
@ Nikki…
I dont even understand where all her nonsense came from, you woulda thought you promised to cook her a meal and stood her up…sheesh
This is a real good look Nas. Now that’s grown and Sexy!
@NIKKI: Morning, WTH? happened with you yest?
@ERM: Murnin what happened to your pic?
@SXYQ: Morning! how is err’body?

How is Fox News responsible for what Jesse Jackson said? Its how he really feels.
KZZ!!!

NIKKI U! WHERE ARE YOU GOING ON THE 23 OF JULY!?
@COME ON-I wish I could be there also but I did e-mail my comment. This is a big week for Black people. First our next president went over to Iraq and handled his business and now we are about to shut FOX aka Fake news down. Stand up black people!
you can’t keep people from being assholes.
*****************************************************
@RODERICK,
Although this is a good effort on Nas’s part I was thinking the same thing..FUKX NEWS is racist and will continue to be a racist organization, the only way to hurt a major network like FUKX is to hurt their ratings or cause them to lose sponsorship.

@SXYQ-GOOD MORNING GIRL! I hope you are in good sprits, its a beautiful day!
Im proud of Nas for this. Black people tend to wanna feel like racism is a non issue, especially some of our bm w/ all their swirlin. I know Jayz would never have done this, too worried about losing a dollar and his white fan base.
@KZZME
I THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE LOOSE THE TRAIN OF LINE BETWEEN ENTERTAINMENT (as my man jay say..its only entertainment..LOL) AND THE REAL LIFE. YOU SEE BOSSIP PASSES MY DAY AT WORK. WHEN I WANT TO GET AWAY FROM REAL WORK.LOL. BUT WHEN I HIT THAT RED BOX IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER OF MY SCREEN, BOSSIP GOES AWAY, AND IM NOT BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING THAT MY LIFE IS SET UP IN BOSSIP. LOL. LET FOOLISH PEOPLE BE FOOLISH. AND DONT ARGUE WITH THEM, THAT WAY YOU WONT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE DISTANCE OF BEING CONFUSED WITH THEM. YOU KNOW WE GET OUR LAUGH IN ON THIS BOARD, AND THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT MOMMA. ENTERTAINMENT! = )
@TEEDY
GIRL IM FEELING PRETTY DARNED GOOD. HUNGRY THOUGH(lol) BUT IM ABOUT TO HANDLE DAT!! LOL
I’M NOT SIGNING THIS PETITION. They are a TV network. Ofcourse they have to say controversial things. Otherwise, no one is going to watch Fox, and all the innocent staff that work there underneath Fox management are going to get laid off.
Is that what y’all and Nas really want? People to lose their jobs. If they come up with a Petition as well to ensure these innocent workers get to keep their jobs, only then will I sign both petitions.
I think people need to think about the deeper consequences sometimes. If you don’t like what Fox is doing, just stop watching their channel(s). It’s TV. Sometimes people (like Nas) take things way too seriously. I’d rather see him start a petition to help reduce hunger in the world, or poverty in America.
…I signed that petition in addition to getting several friends and colleagues to do the same…
…Faux Noise is a travesty, at best…
…my disappointment in this is that there are only just over half a million signatures…
…I know that more people than that see clearly through Faux Noise’s B.S., and would encourage more people to take action to put pressure on this network to be taken off the air…
…Yes, that is possible and we, the people, have the power to do this…
…good going, MoveOn.org et al.
.
@SXYQ: Yeah that’s why I try to stay away from alot of the nonsense: but yesterday I said some things I should’ve kept to myself, but you know once you hit that submitt button it’s a wrap! (LOL!)..but it’s all good, like you said it passes the day at work! I log on when I get home sometimes but I don’t comment! because in my real world I am very outspoken and don’t know when to “SHUT UP! (thanks DAD)!. LOL! but I’m working on it!
This W/E I just watched Tyler Perry Cd’s and layed back! I loves me some Madea!
@SXYQ-GIRL ME TOO! I WANT A CLUB SANDWICH AND A GREEN TEA SO BAD. LORD PLEASE LET LUNCH COME ALREADY.LOL
@KZZME
YESS GIRL I FEEL YOU!! OUT HERE IN MY LIFE, REAL DEAL LIFE, ILL GIVE A NEGROE THE BUISNESS QUICKLY. MAN OR WOMAN, WITH EXTREME PRESIDENCE. BECAUSE IM A FACE TO FACE KIND OF PERSON, SO I TRY NOT TO LET THE NET HAVE ME REACHING FOR HYPERTENSION PILLS..LOL!!
@TEEDY
SEE WHAT YOU DONE DID? YOU DONE GONE’ AND MADE ME MO HUNGRY” (LOL) IM ABOUT TO GET DOWN ON A HARDEES BACON EGG AND CHEESE, AND LEAVE NOTHING TO WASTE..(LMAO)
Kudos to Nas for stepping up to address that venomous network. It’s not common to see successful artists make such bold moves
________________________________
lol successfull artist like nas - it’s funny how nas and other just realizing that fox new is a racist network, how long has fox news been around? * many many years* and nas just realize that, all of a sudden fox news is racist, since they put that jessie on blast, or is he trying to promote his album. I am not quite sure what is the motive here, for this protest , what about the other network, they not racist …
@SXYQ-YOUR GONNA MAKE ME GO GET SOME OF THAT PORK. LORD I’M TRYING!!!
@SXYQ: See I knew it was something about you, I thought I couldn’t keep it down! you sound about like me! but not to get it twisted I’m not loud with it! I say what I have to say and let that be it! LOL!
Do you like Tyler Perry?
Yall stop talking about “FOOD” I am so hungry right now! and see I work downtown so there are tons of places to eat I just have to chose “ONE”! LOL!
k i had eyeballs hoverin ova me…..what i miss? *scannin thread*
@KZZ-THAT’S THE WORSE THING IN THE WORLD WHEN YOU CAN’T CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT. THAT’S WORSE THAN STAVING!
I’M NOT SIGNING THIS PETITION. They are a TV network. Ofcourse they have to say controversial things. Otherwise, no one is going to watch Fox, and all the innocent staff that work there underneath Fox management are going to get laid off.
Is that what y’all and Nas really want? People to lose their jobs. If they come up with a Petition as well to ensure these innocent workers get to keep their jobs, only then will I sign both petitions.

@KZZ! I AN I GO RUN GO GET SPLIFF…… SINC…. ME CALL YA BAK!
Let’s be realistic - this petition won’t cause any major changes.
Which is good, because this petition really doesn’t make much sense, as I stated above.
Kudos and propz 2 Nas 4 taking an active stand.
However…
I will not sign this petion. Y? Like someone said earlier… an azzhole doesn’t change it’s position. Giving Faux News a petition is like handing out a “please stop the madness” note at a KKK rally.
I prefer an even more meaningful action: I will NOT buy products from any of their sponsors.
I will not b a Nielsen scan in their favor. My television is OFF.
I will vote in November.
Again, much respect 2 Nas and the people who signed 4 being part of the solution. I just prefer 2 go about it in my own way.
kudos to nas for trying to use fox new and his bullshit to promote his album - its all bullshit
what you think is gonna happen to fox news -(NOTHING)
@TEEDY GIRL THAT BUSCUIT IS HISTORY!! LOL I DOGGED IT, NOW IM IN FULL THROTTLE!! READY TO ROLL
@KZZME
GIRL I LOVE TYLER PERRY, THATS WHERE I GET THAT “GOOD MORNTINSSS” MESS FROM LOL
THIS ELECTION IS SHOWIN ERYONES TRU COLORS

OOPS please ignore all that crap in the head line!
We are chatting it at agelessfriends.C O M, where US/UK/CA meet like-minded younger/older local friends or partners. Join us now.
The Color of Change serves as a internet “network” to petition certain injustices that are prevelant worldwide. Darfur, Katrina, Jena 6 and so many issues have been petitioned over this past year. So if you don’t agree with Nas and feel that other issues should be addressed, check out the site and act for yourself.
…
Thank you Nas. tune into Keith Olbermann he beats Oratty head in everynight with with world’s Worst plus druggy Rush Limbaugh sometimes racist Sean Hannity!.
John Stewart pretty funny.
Im proud of the new school black leaders…Fuck a-jesse jackson…and al sharpton and people like him (as Lil” wayne put it)…
I already signed.
hello
Let’s be realistic - this petition won’t cause any major changes.
***************************************************
@ SNIPER
I AGREE, I APPLAUD NAS FOR TAKING A STAND BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN A FEW SIGNITURES..UNFORTUNATELY FUKX NEWS IS PROTECTED BY THE AMENDMENT AND FREEDOM OF PRESS.

Im proud of the new school black leaders…Fuck a-jesse jackson…and al sharpton and people like him (as Lil” wayne put it)…
___________________________
wow!! after all what these people has done for blacks.
new leaders — Who are they?
name them
i cant imagine the future for our children
if we are going to look at rap artist for leadership
Nas need to stick to rapping and kelis
Nas needs a vacation. Since the “N-word” album title didn’t work, this is the next best thing I supposed. LOL
baby mama? BOOOOO.. ok,whatev, these freakin haters…..like somebody u used to go to school wit talking bout u cuz they aint at where u at, oh go kick whitehouse rocks! I feel sorry for ppl wasting time out they day to hate on him…LOSERS! He’s that THING.
finally some action…but with all honesty we really shouldn’t get mad when these people say these different things about us or use terms such as “baby mama” we should look within ourselves and see where it is coming from and change it because they wouldn’t be able to say half of the things they say if it weren’t true….and that’s the truth!
Good job for Nas but this is going to have backlash on him b/c the last thing you want to do is go after a news network. All Foxnews is going to do is deface the value he brings by talking about his rap lyrics and gun charges like they did w/ Bill O’rile
