nigga/N.I.G.G.A.
1) (nigga) Form of the word nigger (which is derived ultimately from the Latin word niger meaning the color black). Its a form of the curseword used originally by white people to insult people with African etnicity, taken over by black people as a name to show their proudness of their color and history, and to take off the edge of the curseword "nigger". Presently, the word nigga is used more liberally among younger people of all races and ethnicities in the Western World, although its use by persons not of African descent is still widely viewed as unacceptable and hostile, even when used without intentional prejudice. Positive use: "my nigga": my friend.

In an interview in the documentary Tupac: Resurrection, Shakur further distinguished between nigger and nigga: "Niggers was the ones on the rope, hanging off the thing; niggas is the ones with gold ropes, hanging out at clubs."
-- "Brothers, sistas, niggas, When I say niggas it is not the nigga we are grown to fear, It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning, But to me, It means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Acomplished, nigga" -- 2Pac (Words Of Wisdom [1991]).
