Nas’ ‘Nigger’ to Emerge Third Quarter

Wednesday, April 23, 2008
By: Mike Ivey Jr.


NasHip hop trend setter Nas and Def Jam will reportedly unveil the Queens, NY artists’ second label release, the caustic ‘Nigger,’ July 1 as opposed to this month. “Be A Nigger Too,” available this week, is one of the first records attributed to the new LP to leak online and through mixtapes.

Nas drew scathing criticism and much press when months ago he announced the follow up to last years’ ‘Hip Hop Is Dead’ movement would be predicated on one of the most controversial words in American history; Nas, his wife, pop singer Kelis, and associates, at the 2008 Grammy awards in Los Angeles donned “Nigger” T-shirts and jackets to show resolve amidst industry insiders and fans who don’t think Def Jam/Universal will promote or sell ‘Nigger.’

“Be A Nigger Too” is produced by Salaam Remi and Big Jack. The song explores the media’s impact on peoples’ perception of the word nigger, pardons Eminem for saying nigger and satirizes peoples’ desire to “be a nigga too” despite the historic plight of black people. At press time there’s no word on features or the production lineup for ‘Nigger."

Nas been talkin bout the nlgger album since oct 07. Honestly i feel like he jumped the gun,he spoke too soon,he shouldnt'a spoke on it until he was atleast 10 songs in.from the looks of it 6 months have passed and the albums nowhere near being complete.you know what this means? it means the albums buzz is dying by the second,listeners are loosing interest, and nas is rushing right now to finish an album in 3 months that he coulda worked on and finished by now! lets hope godson come through?april 08 release date would have been perfect, nas shoulda kept his mouth shut and just banged it out!

He is waitin for g unit to drop and the game. He want it to come after, cant u see that. I wonder if it will reach to south africa. If not?

^well if nas is "waiting" like you claim, why didnt he wait until the project was almost complete before announcing to the world "N*gg*r" "N*gg*r" "N*gg*r" with a title so controversial (to some of you)nas should'a kept the project to himself until he knew he could deliver. Once you get people talkin give 'em a release date, dont make 'em wait too long, and stick to the date! alotta people ive talked to dont even care about the album no more like they did back in dec or jan.nas destroyed his buzz!

All of you make me sick, you are the bottom of the barrel of the black race, you are the reason why its hard for good black men like myself to get a good job, glorifying the one word that our people needs to put behind us, this is ignorance, trend setter? it you let a middleaged man who is still holding on to hip hop set trends for you then you need a life as well, just b/c he can rhyme hop with mop, lol, ignorance, mlk jr died in vain, malcolm x , harriet tubman, all of them, you are erasing everything that they gained for us, idiots

^^^slimcreepa i feel you on a few points you made but do you feel because nas is "middle aged" as you say that he should'nt continue to express himself artisticlly? its only music son, when you do find a good job your gonna need somethin to smoke a l and sip an ice cold beer or read a book to after work, trust me.. Its sad but alotta these youngins would'nt know sh!t about the individuals you named if nas wouldnt'a hipped 'em to them. Slim you do know that the muthuf.uckas you wanna work for and work with will indeed call you a n!gger right???? maybe not to your face but at their dinner table, with their spouses & kids.. You my friend are a n!gger! thats why the sh!t needs to be discussed.as far as your job situation you cant blame nas, hip hop, or n!ggaz bloggin on nbs brother. You might have to just go into buisness for yourself or look into "at-home" employment. All of us are'nt cut out for the 9 to 5 workworld. Nas makin his money! im makin mine and i hope you make yours slim. Peace

I think he pushed it back cause he cant say just anything on this cd. He gotta make a statement with this. Plus its in the summer the best time to drop a cd.
Posted by B
^nah b the winter is the best time to drop yo. All the classic sh!t was fall /winter sh!t ! east coast snow on the ground bundled up,winter war sh!t! nas should have dropped 1st quarter i hate the summertime

According to webster dictionary, a N*gg*r is an ignorant person. The word was invented in the slave days south of the mason dixon. Todays youth don't know the history of the word, especially non blacks, the majority of hiphop consumers. At the end of the day we all N*gg*rs, being miseducated and distracted, told how to think and feel. Nas got the power of the podium and he utilizing it with more than all that dumb smart ish out know. If you got the voice to say something, say something. U s of a we in this together wake up people.

Chief high priest, i know where you coming from, but im not speaking on my job situation, im doing well for myself and well educated, im speaking as a race as a whole man, i know people call me N*gg*r behing my back, so what, so do most of my own people, i dont need to here it pubically on a cd to make me feel better about hearing it, and i liked nas, all the way till this recent stunt, not b/c he middle age , but because of this stunt to sell records, i ve been listening to nas for years and this erases pretty much everything he ever tried to say. He is not helping the cause in this, and chief after a long day of writing contracts, b/c thats what i do for a living, i do come home to some drank, nothing wrong with that, but stop using the damn word, let it disappear im tired of it!
Posted by slimcreepa
True the winter is when a lot classics come out but i think the summer is a better time to have a cd out. Cause if its hot everybody would jump on that cd until the winter. And whats wrong wit summer thats when the girls is out

^you know as well as i do that bltches dont appreciate classic hip hop albums when they "rarely" drop! bltches like songs by artists that act like "nlggers" for real with silly dances, shiny loud clothes, who speak like they just escaped the plantation yesterday! (lol) yo b have you ever really took time out and listened to the fuked up ringtones comin outta these bltches cellphones???? and 9 times outta 10 it be the pretty ones (lol) dumb bltches..

People are deeply brain washed, are they gonna hurt nas this time using technology lmao or call him a terrorist im a'n*gga he's n*gga we some n*gga's would u like to be a n*gga too? he aint talking only about n*gga's if u hear the song he's also talking about other cultures, he;'s not being racist against white people he just speaking the truth and the truth hurts "i wonder if this is pointless"
Posted by illuminaty
That's too bad nas has to use the word. I guess he don't care for the white nas fans too much (who spend the money for albums). He don't like racism? please. The word is supposed to be banished but he probably wants to keep it around because he won't be able to whine about it anymore. There is no more slavery nas, and there aren't any slavedrivers alive. Give it up A**hole. And all the fans behind it - racist mutherF*ckers themselves. Same ones that want a white woman...

Yo, chief high, if there is a ******, you my man are it!!!!! do u think you or anybody else is gonna gain anywhere by telling people that whites crack on black people at home? well you ain't. Don't waste your time man, or just stay miserable. I don't give a F*ck
