Hate Me now is possibly one of the most notorious song from rap artist Nas, from his album I Am…, released in 1999. The song was a hit both in US and European charts, charting as high as #62 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the song, especially, its music video, whipped up a storm of controversy due to its depiction of Nas and later Puff Daddy as being crucified (as Jesus).
