Apparently Fox news got it all wrong when they reported that the powers that be at Def Jam said the label was not releasing Nas' new project named after the N-word.

Def Jam head, LA Reid, told MTV that he has no problem with the project whatsoever. As far as he's concerned, Nas can do no wrong.

"We support everything our artists do, everything! (L.A. sounds real stupid, that's why these artists are in the state they're in now)" he added. "We stand firmly behind and beside our artists with pride and with pleasure. Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him. Nas is prolific, he's prophetic, he's a genius, an amazing artist of respect. So, while I'm not sure exactly all that [the title] entails (uhhh, don't you think you ought to find out, Mr. "head of Def Jam?) I know it's smart, so I stand behind him. That's real."

OK, so you may be wondering just why is Nas doing this. The MC says his intent is to take the sting out of the N-word (PLEASE TELL ME...HOW IS THIS GOING TO TAKE THE STING OUT????? THIS IS AN EXCUSE TO SAY THE N***A OR N***ER WORD! WE'RE NOT STUPID! Well MOST of us aren't)

"We're taking power from the word," he told MTV. "No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil rights movement, but some ... in the streets don't know who (civil rights activist) Medgar Evers was ... they know who Nas is (you fool! so why don't you rap about our predecessors and educate those who are in the streets?!)," the rapper said, referring to the civil rights leader slain in the 1960s.

He also had a message to the "older people" who don't know who Nas is and what a street disciple is.

"Stay outta this (expletive) conversation. (OH NO HE DIDN'T-REMEMBER THIS IS DIRECTED TO "OLDER PEOPLE" WHO DON'T KNOW WHO NAS IS?!) We'll talk to you when we're ready. Right now, we're on a whole new movement (MOVEMENT?! I didn't hear that he was in Jena 6, nor at the Judiciary Committee hearing w/John Conyers, Keith Ellison, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton etc, is he kidding me?!). We're taking power from that word (hmmm, I'm curious, HOW WOULD U KNOW IF POWER WAS TAKEN FROM THAT WORD?! SMH)."

Finally, not only is the album apparently still in the pipeline for a Dec 11 release, but the title has now been changed from "Nigga" to "Nigger (whew! that was close, they're idiots!)."
****

This whipper-snapper has lost his ever-living-loving-lasting mind!

And the fact that L.A. Reid is behind Nas-who blatantly disrespected older people- and gives carte blanche to his artists to do whatever,

sounds pathetic.

Oh, I get it...the bible says there's nothing new under the sun,

this is a publicity stunt in order to promote the sales of his album, which

is due out Dec 11th~

A blind man can see thru this.

I call for a boycott of his album.

Ignorance, is ignorance.

Yes...WHAT WOULD WAL-MART THINK?!

DEF JAM DENIES 'N-WORD' FOR NAS ALBUM: Source says 'How would that look at Wal-Mart?'

*A source close to Island Def Jam Group chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid is now claiming that the new album from Nas will not be called the N-word as the rapper had announced during a concert Friday night in New York.
"There is no album release by Nas on the release schedule at this point," the source told FOX News. "And they would be unlikely to release an album with that title. How would that look at Wal-Mart?"
Before anyone from Def Jam could even address Nas' statement, Rev. Jesse Jackson and the NAACP had already issued comments condemning the artist for the announced title.
"The title using the 'N' word is morally offensive and socially distasteful," Jackson said in a statement. "Nas has the right to degrade and denigrate in the name of free speech, but there is no honor in it. Radio and television stations have no obligation to play it and self-respecting people have no obligation to buy it."
"I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade, making mockery of racism," he added.
"We will not support and we will not continually be assailed by other individuals who want to use that type of term in our presence" said national NAACP spokesman Richard McIntire, according to Fox News. "This has gone on long enough."

I was hoping the record company couldn't be that stupid.

People get upset that Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton are always on TV, but if idiots in our community, would catch, grab, beg, borrow, steal or buy a clue-it wouldn't be necessary. I'm hoping one day...before I die..we as a people can get it together.

I'd even settle for...'on the way to getting it together.'

I just want to say to Nas: NI**A, R U CRAZY?!

Nas, This BETTER Be A Publicity Stunt!

NAS TITLES HIS NEW ALBUM 'NI**A': Name revealed Friday night in New York; rapper says it's due by year's end.

Why Nas? Why?! the rapper has decided that the N-word - the five-letter slang version - will be the title of his new album due in December from Def Jam.
The rapper announced the news while headlining the last stop of the Sneaker Pimps Tour on Friday at New York's Roseland Ballroom.
According to MTV.com, he told the crowd that his new album will be titled "Nigga," a name he had planned to call his previous album until deciding at the last minute to use "Hip Hop Is Dead" instead.

A month before the new album arrives, Nas's greatest hits collection is scheduled to drop on Nov. 6. A video for one of the two new songs on the project, "Surviving the Times," will be shot soon, according to MTV.

*smh* sigh, The only thing worse than being stupid, idiotic and foolish,

Is the intentional choice to STAY stupid, idiotic and foolish.

I don't know what's going on...Nas WAS one of the most respected rappers ever.

Not any longer.

It could be worse..we could be Kelis and go home to him.

This BETTER be a publicity stunt.

Some people are desperate to stay relevant. Didn't think he was one of them.
