Nas on: His Upcoming Album, “N*gger”
November 29th, 2007
A few excerpts from the article:
If you thought Nas was being controversial with an album titled Nigger, wait until you hear some of the song titles he has for the project…
“I have a song called ‘The Fear,’ ” he said. “The full title of the record is ‘The Fear of the Black Man’s D—.’ That’s some sh– 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 album’s production is almost over, however, and Nas said Jermaine Dupri and Diddy will be helping him to close out…Thus far, Salaam Remi, Stargate and DJ Toomp are the most notable names who have delivered beats to Nas.
You’ve gotta love the fact that Nas hasn’t bent under pressure, and is still going on as planned with the title and concept of his upcoming album, “N*gger”. Unfortunately, we now have to wait until February for the official drop (how ironic), however, it should be well worth it. It’s going be interesting to see how the hip hop outsiders/critics come at him for this one. We all know how much of a field day they had with hip hop this year. Nonetheless, it should all turn out to be VERY interesting.
