in one of GNR's songs NIgga is used, and Slash hated it.. but went along with it, just because he new when Alxe wrote it he wasn't useing Nigga as something mean towards black people.. he was just useing the term like some black people do towards each other..

I used to work in production and I worked a Prince gig at the AAC in Dallas. I was assigned to work with his dressing room and wardrobe coordinator. He's pretty adamant about how his dressing room is set up. Lots of tapestries and decorative lights. He also has to have a big bowl of werther's originals in his room. I got to hit a chord on his symbol thingy guitar !
