Rapper Amine tells Coachella Audience not to say Nigga if they are not Black
- Thread starter LionPride
- Start date

Well it is Coachella. Huge white crowds are pretty much a given.
sounds like coachella.
actually, sounds like most stadium/arena hip-hop shows too.
Oh shit. Damn that's brave. I wonder how other black artists who are okay with the white audience members saying nigga feel about this.
"Don't use the n-word, white folks" is hardly a controversial request. That it still has to be made by a black performer before a largely white audience at Coachella in 2018 is quite worrying.
Well it is Amine. He's only one step away from BROCKHAMPTON on the yt love scale

It's v controversial, especially in music, what you talkin bout
A ticket to Coachella is what, $400? But makin white kids who can afford to go to Coachella think about privilege, if even for a second: priceless
Is he offering killa as a replacement or was that a different part of the song? Is it better to just say nothing at all for that part when singing along or replace it with something else?

I never do. I just always feel awkward when I'm trying to sing along and come to that word. I tend to alternate between brotha and saying nothing at all.

I'm just sharing my view. Obviously saying the word in any other context is terrible. But in terms of a song, it's perfectly fine imo
Nah if you're white don't say it even if it's a part of the song.
I say it when i sing to myself out loud but I've stopped singing it in public. I just pretend i'm recording a non-explicit song and have a moment of silence.
I've been called the N-word, though with the S-word in front of it, so I feel like I've earned it :p

How privileged must you be where one of your biggest triggers is not being able to say a word that's historically been used to degrade black people, and they simply want that power back.
Shits selective when it comes to afro-latinos, like very few people are going to challenge Cardi B since she's perceived as black but 6ix9ine, on the other hand, gets challenged.
Dude in Brockhampton did this at a Denver show

There is a lot more context than the word being a lyric in a song. This is some serious tunnel vision.
Nothing wrong with that statement and it looks like that crowd agrees with him.
So, it's all cool.

Better than 'Ninja'. Spread this to your people with my blessing as your black friend.

Yeah that's unheard of. White people saying the N word i mean.
