Controversial Rapper Nas did indeed create a album titled, Nigger (Def Jam). I didn’t actually believe it at the time but it’s now confirmed. What is said to be track number 1 on the album, “Be A Nigger Too”, was leaked onto the internet today. Not sure if this will be the actual first single or not because although he’s trying to make a positive statement this “N-Word” is still offensive to many. “Nigger” is said to be in stores July 1st. It’s said to already have gotten support from Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Akon, Common, Lupe Fiasco, and Rev Run.

I ran across these photos of Nas and Kelis, and yes, this is what they actually wore to tonight’s 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Are they serious? Nah, they can’t be! I mean like, really … do they really have “Nigger” in plain words plastered across their chest and back on t-shirts? I guess this makes up for him not being able to release his album this month. Your thoughs?
UPDATE: After the cut you can view Nas and wife Kelis talking about his new album “Nigger” live via CNN at the Grammys! LMAO

NAS ISN’T GETTING DROPPED! » Yeeeah … you know that rumor about Nas getting dropped by his Def Jam? Not true, according to Rolling Stone, a label-rep says to Rock Daily, “that is absolutely ridiculous and untrue.” These falsified claims first starting surfacing on the National Enquireresque-site MediaTakeOver, which quoted an “inside source,” stating, “If Nas doesn’t change his mind, he’ll be dropped. And he doesn’t have to much time to come to that realization.” The Emcee has been frequently in the media now leading up to the release of his forthcoming album Nigger. Now, you would think people would stop using gossip sites as resources, especially MeidaTakeOver of all mockery of gossip sites, but clearly they are still doing this. CONTINUE READING
Rapper Nas, who’s recently gone under fire for the name of his latest album, is featured on the 2008 edition of XXL Magazine! XXL is calling him a “Rebel to America,” and he definitely deserves that title with an album named “Nigger.” Make sure you pick up a copy of the magazine when it hits stands this February.
Looks like someone won’t be getting any cuts from the sales of any recent issues of XXL Magazine! I’m talking about YOU, Elliott Wilson!

New Years Eve was last week, I know … but I wasn’t able to post these pics because of the server issues the site went through last week. Now we’ve upgraded to a stronger, faster server that’s able to handle it. So … here goes!
REGGIE BUSH AND KIM KARDASHIAN CELEBRATE AT MANSION
Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush threw a party at the Mansion in Miami. Word on the sidewalk is that they’re engaged to be married, or something like that. But, of course … she’s denying it. Just like she denied that they were dating in the first place. And we all know how that turned out. Reggie Bush is one lucky SOB!
So I guess homeboy wasn’t playing when he said his new album was gonna be called “Nigger!” This is just so funny to me. I wish I worked in a record store so I could fuck with the yts!
Random YT: ‘Scuse me sir, do y’all have any more copies of that new Nas album?
Dustin: New Nas album? I’m not sure if I know what you’re referring to … What’s the name of it so I can look it up on the computer?Random YT: [pause]
Dustin: Hello?Random YT: You know, the new one … starts with an N.
Dustin: I know you’re talking about Nas, and his name starts with an N … but what is the name of the ALBUM?Random YT: Noo, the album starts with an N.
Dustin: Nastradamus?Random YT: No, that’s not the one…
Dustin: Well sir, I can’t help you out until you give me a name =)Random YT: Ahh f*ck it, I’ll just download the bootleg off the internet!
Yeah, it doesn’t look like Nas is gonna sell that many albums :-\
JAY-Z & BEYONCE
FYI: This list is in no particular order…
2007 is coming to a close, and we here at Think2wice thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some of the greatest moments, people, etc. of the past year! First up, is “Favorite Couples.” And you guessed it, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perched at the top of this list! These two cause a stir in the gossip blogs whenever their names are mentioned. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve given them one name … Jayonce. Despite both of their busy schedules, Jayonce still finds the time to spend time with each other, whether it be a sporting event, a week-long vacation, or just having dinner at one of NYC’s top restaurants. Recently, rumors sparked of the two being married after people spotted matching tattoos on their ring fingers (IV - “FOURever” ??), but those rumors were immediately shot down by one of Jay-Z’s reps. Who knows … they probably are married! Hell, didn’t Janet keep her marriage to that guy from the public for like 10 or more years? Anyhow, hate it or love it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are with each other for the long run, as long as they keep their relationship as private as it has been for the past 4 years. CONTINUE READING
Nigger seems to cater to a very specific audience, but this week Nas assured MTV News that the album is for niggers of every color of the rainbow, not just the black ones.
It’s about the attacks that have happened to blacks, whites, all ethnicities…’Mick’ niggers, ‘guinea’ niggers, ‘kike’ niggers. I have a song called ‘You a Nigger Too.’
Another song on Nigger is called “The Fear of the Black Man’s Dick.”
That’s some shit you can get comedy [from], or you can get some seriousness from it when you talk about the barbaric castrations that happened in our past - which is very serious, nothing to laugh at.
The obviously controversial album has (ironically) been pushed back to February 2008, which happens to be Black History Month. Hey, if he likes it, I love it! I can’t wait to see how this all turns out. I still can’t believe homeboy is really going through with this whole “Nigger” thing … it feels so awkward typing that! Anyhow, how many marches do you think Al and Jesse are gonna organize before then? Probably none. They’re too busy trying to “bribe” Barack Obama!
“Hustlers” is the yet-to-be-released single from Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead in stores now. I still haven’t gotten that album quite yet, I heard it was whack. The song features rapper The Game and production by Dr. Dre. The video leaked onto the internet on November 9th, shouts out to ON SMASH and Eskay.
Here you can find a video montage for Nas ‘Surviving The Times’ off of the compilation album Greatest Hits in stores November 6th. The LP will feature twelve of Nas’ singles from his Columbia releases from Illmatic to Street’s Disciple and two new tracks. The collaboration made with Cee-Lo for the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack is expected to be included.
