The song does have a catchy beat, I might play it loud in the golf cart. Who would not enjoy singing along to "My Niggaz"!

That's only one of the problems. The phrase Niggaz confusing. It's both a positive name within the community and a negative term for many whites outside of the community. Think of the termed colored. It went from positive to negative.
The only example I can think of is from the Sopranos. Christopher calls himself a skinny guinea [sp] and no one raises an eyebrow.
Outside of that, what lyric do you find that demonstrates a lack of self importance? It all looks like a brotherhood or right of passage to me.
