It should come as no surprise that devoted controversialist Nas despises George Bush, but the way he put it in a new interview with Rolling Stone is particularly forceful: Bush "made everyone feel like niggers".

"When 9/11 happened, everyone felt like they had been duped," he adds. No surprise, either, that he's backing celeb-magnet and "honest" man Obama for President, while slating John McCain: "he's part of the old world, the dead America."

Nas joins P Diddy, Bruce Springsteen and Moby in backing Barack. BO's got it in the bag.
