NAS Speaks on NIGGER!!

And you thought Hip-Hop Is Dead was a provocative title! “This record is a lot more serious than hip-hop,” says Nas, who tackles race and American history on his new album. Polow Da Don, Stargate, and Cool and Dre contribute beats to the disc, which includes “Be a Nigga Too” (a play on the Dr Pepper jingle), the Fox News-slamming “Sly Fox,” and “This Is Not America,” on which he raps about sexism and racism in the U.S. “This album is like talking to your child about sex,” says Nas. “It’s uncomfortable, but it’s important.”

NAS – NIGGER The New Album…

While a bunch of others are soooo insulted and nervous about this new Nas upcoming album entitled “NIGGER” I am in no way scared nor do I feel that Nas will misrepresent his people and/or culture in any way at all!! I look forward to the record actually. In a recent interview I heard Nas make a extremely valid point, he said if Dr. Cornell West was coming out with an album called “NIGGER” no one would be worried about it. I agree we have to give Nas respect due and say for his entire career he has kept substance and integrity in the forefront of his music. I am even more excited about this record after seeing the tentative tracklist peep:

1.Intro
2. Black Legends
3. Rest In Peace
4. You A Nigger Too
5. The Fear Of A Black Man’s Dick
