Hip-hop legend Nasir Jones, 34, is completely baffled at recent reports of the supposed “relapse” of his upcoming album, slated to be release December 11th. As you may know, there has been continues claims of [ the label's ] impediment towards the project and even the preposterous rumor of “inevitable” withdrawal. But the emcee insists [1] that you shouldn’t believe anything you’ve heard about Def Jam, or the rumor about him chaning his album’s title for that matter.

“I don’t know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam,” Nas stated, early yesterday morning, in a Manhattan recording studio when asked about a recent article published earlier this week. “None of us knows where that came from.”

Nas, now making an example out numerous blogs and media outlets, has added more controversy by changing his album’s name from the term “N*gga” to “N*gger”. -_-

“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 addresses the recent remarks made by political advocate Rev. Jesse Jackson among others.

Well, y’all . . . pro/cons? Me, I think I’ve come to the point of ultra liberalness, so it isn’t really concerning/uncomprehending to me. I’m sure there is logic behind this; I don’t think we should pass judgment so quickly. However, you are entitled to your discretion so feel free to discuss in the commenting section if you would like. [ SOURCE ]

in a way this is really funny to me, cuz im sure the NAME of album is going to be making more headlines, then the actual songs. but i really hope nas has a good reason for this, instead of just trying to get some buzz for his album. but anywayz i wonder how the commercials for the album r going to sound

I personally think that people should shut the fuck about it and take this dumb shit that ’s on the radio now off. Nas has always brung the real. He always brings the shit that other people have to try too hard or force to come out of their music. The political activists and people need to really quit it, go lobby about something that really needs to be lobbied about and don’t just do it cause some cameras are there. It’s just so stupid to me for them to be mad at somebody who has always brung some fucking kind of intelligence and sense of common, worldly, community, and important racial sense. We know that Nas is going to bring, he’s gonna give knowledge to the unknowledgeable about both words, meaning for the other races and our own that do not understand he’s going to break it down. Most of these people are just talking out their ass and talking out of ignorance. The two words are not convoluted, so they should stop treating it as such. Sorry about the language Dustin, Just needed to speak my mind.

  • DO: Speak your mind. All of it! We're not like those other blogs who over-moderate comments and delete people's opinions just because they don't agree with what their readers have to say.
  • DO: Stay on topic. If the post is about the BET Awards, don't come in here talking about what you're cooking for dinner or what happened at work today.
