Nas emphasizes the importance of history in a clip from Hidden Colors 3: The Rules Of Racism.
“To know your history is everything,” Nas says. “No matter who you are, especially Black, because you’re constantly being told that you were nothing but a slave. No one began as a slave. That’s not what God put you here for.”
Nas also addresses the idea of slavery and education on his single, “I Can.”
