Tueday's Top Ten "Nigga" Videos

Today's Top Ten revolves around ten of the funniest or best videos that capture the word 'nigga' in all my years of interactions with the word. For the record I'm black and so I'm doing this for humor, for entertainment and as a tribute to Nas' album before it got it's title changed to 'Untitled'. I didn't invent the word, so I'm not the problem you can track it all back to, but I'm not going to run from the word either so anyway, the top ten 'nigga' videos...


10.) Vince McMahon shoots the breeze with John Cena [The spectacle of a billionaire saying nigga is just something I can't pass up. Then again it's not like company bosses and people that are supposed to be hiring black folks aren't whispering the word in closed circles anyway. Boards of Directors look like country clubs, are you kidding me? Of course they use it. At least McMahon is doing it in front of a camera for gain.]

9.) Richard Pryor on the N word [Pryor fresh from Africa, rejecting the N-word, doing something most black people could never do at a time where it was unheard of. Black people's dependence on that word is only rivaled by American's dependence on oil. This clip was classic though.]

8.) 'Boss Nigga' Movie Trailer [An actual film from MGM Studios about a black man from outside of a the loops coming over and becoming sheriff of a town. All the makings for an awesome movie. I just hope I can buy this on the black market one day.]

7.) Booker T says Hulk Hogan is a Nigga [Just Funny.]

6.) did he...did he say, niggas? [This is from a spelling bee where the kid and the audience are as shocked as people on the other side of the television surely are. LOL]

5.) Nigga Nigga - Paul Mooney [If there was a Mt. Rushmore of black comedians, surely his face would be wedged in there someway, chisled into the rock. Here he is speaking on the N-Word.]

4.) Boondocks-Nigga Moment [Classic game-altering moment in television.]

3.) Nigga Technology [My favorite moment from the show, Boondocks]

2.) TEACHER USES N WORD [This is funny because it's real life and it's honest and prescient. God bless the teacher and the student.]

1.) Chris Rock - Black People Vs Niggas [There is no social commentary today without reverting back to this speech or stealing a talking point or two from this set. Genius.]
