N***a 4 life?

It's become one of the classic turn-of-the-millennium debates: what are we going to do about the N-word? What makes "nigga" different from other racial slurs? Why are some people "allowed" to call each other nigga and some people aren't? In this reprint from a previous Blaze article, Davey D. and Mos Def sound off on the pros and cons of the hip-hop culture's favorite five-letter word. No one's ever going to get the final word in this argument, but it's always interesting to read a well-worded argument.
