Such controversy over such a niggling situation.
Because it's a word used to insult women.
It's no biggie, but I just don't feel comfortable using it around women.
Yeah right, lol. Even if true, i'm sure you pick your surroundings very carefully.I say nigga because its the word in the song, don't like it? Blame the artist. I don't see anything wrong with repeating what's in the song. I've gotten weird looks before, but the trick is I don't give a shit.

Everyone questions Drake. EVERYONE.
I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that I have a newfound respect for Eminem. In fact, he's probably the best rap lyricist ever, based off his earlier material.

If I do find myself uncomfortable with a song because of the racial/sexual makeup of my surroundings, I wouldn't sing it in the first place
do you guys also say the "f" word?
This.This whole thing just seems like a few people are too fucking excited to use the word. I think that's why it bugs me.

It's because people have made it this "forbidden fruit" when in reality, in the context it is being used in rap songs, it is pretty damn meaningless and should be inoffensive.

We've all been there. One of your white friends is having a good time and enjoying the beat--at karaoke, or maybe singing along with the Tupac song spilling out of macbook speakers at a shitty house party, or hell, just spitting a capella like he was in a wannabe cypher--and suddenly the entire room tenses up as he gets closer and closer to the line where 2Pac or 2Chainz or whoever the fuck it is kids listen to these days throws in a "nigga."
What will he do? Will he deliver a 100% faithful rendition, cashing in whatever cultural currency he earned by memorizing all the words to a three minute single? Will he mumble through the line in question, as if tiptoeing across a dangerous minefield? Pull one of those "to all my [ehh]'s out there" where he replaces "nigga" with a slight gasp and head bob, getting back on beat in time for the "s" (or "z", as the case may be)? Or perhaps just say "ninja" instead?
How do you react when someone does this? If you're the one rapping, which tack do you take? Does it depend on the racial/ethnic composition of the room?
(Not a bait thread; legitimately interested in people's thoughts.)

Exactly. Also I don't think many people give it much thought and yell it out with glee. They just hear it so that often in movies and music that they its more weird to leave out out cause you might offend someone.It's because people have made it this "forbidden fruit" when in reality, in the context it is being used in rap songs, it is pretty damn meaningless and should be inoffensive.
let's list appropriate substitutions that white people can use:
- neighbor
- nephew
- covering your mouth and opening your eyes real wide

Of course it was. Stupid Bob.I thought that was in Shaun of the Dead? And that scene is great, it's there to emphasize what a total knob his character is.

Yeah....rappers use the word when referring to white people and other races so it's a bit odd people try to act like they don't. I mean if you are truly against and hate the word you should be no matter who uses it.
