i got this on CollegeClub and wanted to share:

Jennifer Lopez is under fire for using the N-Word in her new single, “I’m Real.” The controversial track contains the line: "People are always
asking me what's up with so and so. I tell those n----s mind their business, but they don't hear me, though."

~ The tune “I’m Real” was written by Ja Rule and producer Irv Gotti, both of whom are black.

~ Star & Buckwild, the morning team at Hot 97 in New York, slammed J-Lo on
the air after playing “I’m Real.” They urged listeners to phone Jennifer’s record label, Epic, and complain. They even told folks to express their outrage to Jennifer’s sister, Linda Lopez, who’s a news anchor at the WB
station in New York.

~ Star (real name is Troi Torain) used a racial slur to slam J-Lo on the air; she called Jennifer and a "rice-and-bean-eating bitch" and "common Bronx trash." Star continued her racist retaliation off the air calling Jennifer a “spick princess.” Star went on to say, "I'm sure a lot of young Spanish kids use the N-word, but when you reach her level — a level where you have a platform — why is she using a word that's derogatory to blacks? If you're a so-called role model, don't spit in the face of
African-Americans."

~ Star thinks J-Lo used the N-word to try to get street credibility (to earn her “ghetto pass”). But Star said that Lopez should stay “on the pop side of the tracks” and “stop trying to be down with the ‘hood.”
Turner’s Two Cents: J-Lo was way out of line, but so are the black artists who throw the N-word around in their music. The sad and sick reality is that using the N-word has, in fact, become a way to get “street
credibility.” So has cursing, glorifying drug and alcohol abuse, calling women out of their names and dressing, taking and acting like a thug. Once rappers started using the N-word in public, and started treating it
like a badge of honor, they opened up the way for non-blacks to use the word in public, also. Star is right for being angry, but she is wrong for using racially degrading terms like “rice and bean eating bitch” and “spick princess.” Racial slurs are always wrong and two wrongs can never
make a right. Star lost the moral high ground by allowing her anger to drag her down to the same level she was speaking out against
