Nigger What? Nigga Who?

I have a deep affection for Nas, I mean he's hot. He makes me vibe. His music really makes you think and his style is the perfect mix of a hood dude and a conscious ni**a. Whats not to love? Plus his wifey is fly, they make that marriage thing look real fab. But now I hear something that shocks me!


His new album, to be dropped in December under Def Jam records is proposed to be called the oh so shameful 'N' word. I say shame, cuz it is a damn shame, even tho we've all used it at one point or another. Just the other week I saw him perform at Sneaker Pimps which was dope, where he announced this to the crowd, though I swear I didn't hear it. But the crowd was hype. The vibe was madd love, and hands were in the air and mouths were spitting his rhymes the entire time. Then I hear this! NO GOOD NAS! true story.


and apparently reps. from Def Jam are displeased...


Nas is clashing with Def Jam over his plans to drop his controversially-titled new album NIGGA in December. The label claims it does not have any of the rapper’s new material scheduled for release this year. Nas announced his intentions to test race issues with the new album during a Friday night show at New York’s Roseland Ballroom.



Nas insists his December 11th album will be entitled ‘Nigger,’ despite reports of opposition from Def Jam.
“I don’t know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam,” Nas said early Thursday morning (October 18) in a Manhattan recording studio when asked about a Fox News article published earlier this week. “None of us knows where that came from.”
“You ain’t got no business worrying about what the word ‘n*gger’ is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me,” Nas tells MTV.com about the negative response to the album title from public figures, like Rev. Jesse Jackson.
