Nas has spoken out against senseless violence and general negativity in the hip-hop world.

Speaking exclusively to MTV News' Tim Kash, the rap superstar made his position clear on the subject of gun crime. "We don't just say no to the gun," said Nas, "we say no to senseless violence. I say no to senseless violence as a man. And I believe even 50 Cent doesn't want people to be killed and shot. At the same time he talks about his world"

He went on: "I see hip hop getting the blame for all violence in the world. One thing is for sure, there's a lack in parenting.

"We as men have to be way more responsible. We run around, calling women 'bitches' and all that shit. It's just a way. We're not being disrespectful but some of the kids twist it up because of parenting. Parenting plays a big part in it"

"What I represent in my music is not guns - I mention it because its from a world which I grew up in."
