I have no idea what his reason for doing so was. No one but Bill Peters knows his reasons for doing so. All any one else can do is draw inferences from what he said and the circumstances in which he said it. At this point, I think its a pretty reasonable inference that Bill Peters had some repulsive attitudes, whether consciously or unconsciously, regarding race at the time he made the statements.

It is also possible that he called it N music because the music uses that word so often... It's still grossly insensitive and unacceptable, but less directed at a particular group. Could be a bit of a stretch, but a possibility.
