Throwbacks of The Notorious B.I.G. with JAY-Z, Mic Geronimo, Abdul Abott (director) at the "Ain't No Nigga" video shoot in Miami (April 1996)
It's a fist.
Ah, I see. But is that ALL it is?
They are holding out a fist. Hardly a gang sign. In African American culture a first often represents struggling against racist laws, and principals, against terrorist groups like the KKK, and white supremacy from government officials like Hoover, or embedded in laws and customs, which would fit the title of the song.
Look, this isn't complicated, they are holding out a fist. This is a pretty universal expression of readiness or willingness to fight.
"It's not complicated"
Was just wrong and ironically kind of racist, honestly
The photo isn’t a raised fist like this ✊🏼
Not all black people making a fist are showing readiness or willingness to fight
