Info:
The SARS Network's "Puzzle" was born January 24, 1984 in Toronto Ontario. Raised in Scarborough, Puzzle was exposed to music early in life. He first started recording songs in the late 90's, and made his first appearance on the well recognized Toronto mix tape S.A.R.S. Since then he has been featured on every S.A.R.S. mixtape to date.In this video, Puzzle has some matters he wants to get off his chest!
Being that February is Black History Month, Puzzle felt this song would be appropriate. The reason behind this song was to shed light on the controversial word "Nigger" and how loosely the Caucasian race uses the term. Puzzle believes that if people were informed of the history and true origin of the word, and not from just hip hop itself, "people would be more cautious".
Black people themselves throw the word around in the music. Ultimately, this takes away from the authentic power of the word by empowering the human behind it, as in "reverse psychology".
Although most Caucasians who use the word, Nigger, do not mean any harm by it... Puzzle feels "the best thing to do is use words that you understand when communicating with certain people"
NIGGER:
a derogatory name for a Black person
a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.
The term NIGGER is now probably the most offensive word in English
The variants neger and negar, derive from the Spanish and Portuguese word negro (black), and from the now-pejorative French nègre (nigger).
In the Colonial America of 1619, John Rolfe used negars in describing the African slaves shipped to the Virginia colony
Produced & Directed by Big Sproxx of Proletarian Music, Puzzle's Nigga Music is very graphic in the nature to show the viewer the perspective of the word and where it came from.
