NAS SAYS IN AN INTERVIEW THAT L.A. REID GOT A CALL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO SCRAP THE ALBUM TITLE. WHAT A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO STAND UP TO THE FULLEST. BUT WE ALL KNOW NAS AIN’T REALLY GOT THAT TYPE OF BUCK IN HIS HEART. ITS INSIDE HIS PEN 24/7 BUT IT AIN’T IN HIS HEART. ….THAT LOUIS FARAKKHAN SONG IS ONE OF HIS ALL-TIME BEST THOUGH.

OH YEAH, SOUNDSCAN IS TRACKING SYSTEM. NAME 1 OTHER TRACKING SYSTEM THAT A BLACK MAN HAS FAITH IN? I’VE BEEN HAD A FEELING THAT THOSE RAP NUMBERS COMING OUT OF SOUNDSCAN ARE BEING REDUCED OR ELEVATED TO REFLECT THE ARTISTS OF THEIR LIKING.

“Originally named “Nigger,” the album received some negative attention from activists and music outlets for its controversial title. Mass merchants like Wal-Mart and Best Buy even threatened to not stock the album in its stores. Although Nas did eventually change the title, the hype surrounding the release has not simmered.”

hopefully, yall get the point now. def jam is not putting the album out if it cannot get stocked in the shelves.

“Although some corporate retailers refused to carry Nas’ album with its original title of Nigger, Samsung and AT&T have courted the Queensbridge emcee for an additional tour. “

FYI, def jam is owned by overseas investers and they were NOT going to put the album out with that title PERIOD.

i guess you guys want nas to do illmatic 64 or something. you expect for someone 34 to make the same music he created at 19?!? people evole. well grown folks do. funny, i heard the same thing about mary j blige earlier today. geeeesh

killa mike is a good rapper. i respect him. i dunno about him coming at nas. well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. actually, i though the same of nas until i did my research. at the end of the day, its all about money. especially for record labels.

killer mike is a beast – - through and through.

to be completely honest, i don’t even dig all of his music. its just his passion and analytical skills that’s undeniable for me.
