  14. andy Says:

    let’s picture this. A white kid who loves nas go and buy the new album. When he comes home one of his friend ask him what is this? He answers oh it’s the new nas album “NIGGA”. I will let you guys reflect on the consequences.

  15. flatbush34st Says:

    Nas is wrong with the shit he’s about to do….

    yo if I hear white people saying the work nigga imma feel offended…and I don’t what Nas is trying to do with the word….if someone is saying that isn’t suppose to….something gonna happen

  16. KG Says:

    As much as I hate to say it but agree with Sharpton. Jews won’t allow records to see the light of day if it has a anti-semic slur on it.

  17. DUMMIES Says:

  20. bo0gzz Says:

    this is jus generationn gap differencee neither party is 100% wrg

    ii thinkk alsharptonn nd people of his generation lived through the time of the revolutionn, the malcom x’s nd a dr kingz nd they hold that werd wif a certain power nd its a tone of seriousnesses (if datz evn a werd lol) nd hurt that that werd takes on them

    nd the youth todayy we’ve sortaa moved on. nd that’s where the conflict is. they are like “remember” “hold that grudge” “don’t let them take advaantage of you” nd they live today like its 50yrs ago nd we are like “its not like that anymoree” “blk people are billionarez ownin coppanyz” nd “runinn for president” nd dey wait for sumthin like jena 6 to almost throw it in our facee nd say “its jus like 50yrs ago if not werse cuz back then they were up front with theirss”

    but I’m jus sayinn we need to move onn mengg, on the same note dun be naive. its jus art let that artist title his work wat ever he wants. people forget that its art nd take hiphop like its religion smh

  21. jb Says:

    this shit is gettin out of hand smh nas just change da title ur not built to go to war wit da media u let niggaz punk u out doin a video for ur last album… i agree wit al sharpton this is bein racists nas and to all u white mexican asians or watever non-black mufuckas if i hear u sayin nigger on da streets in my prescence ur gettin murked real fast oh it was just da name of a nas album well ur not nas so u get murked lol and thats real fuckin talk fo yo ass…

    GMC WE ALL WE GOT…

  22. County Of Kings Says:

    nas has started to substitute substance for shock value. and for once i agree with al sharpton. race seems to be really heating up this year and its going to get ugly real soon. get your guns, not for dumb shit, to protect your house and family. cuz they will kick in your door when they ready

  23. Yuu serious?! Says:

    its true tho.

    why does nas have to name an album that?..what is he trying to prove?..like i said he is a smart when it comes to his lyrics but he aint smart in the decisions he makes.

    His last album he said hip-hop is dead..and ever since then that was when ppl reaally got hyped up of hip-hop.. now he’s gonnna put alot of attention on black ppl..

    i think this whole album is a bad idea

  24. 2cents Says:

    I agree with al shrptons statemnet BUT to add on to what someone said their’s an artist called uncle cracker! So his theory isn’t waterproof but it can keep you fairly dry…

  25. white boy Says:

    i think nas is tryin to prove a point in hiphop, i don’t no if it toward racism or what ever, but im sure he will prove his point. and if he is tryin to prove a point which im sure he is, then i think it will create a positive message in the hiphop community. and i think fans of hiphop should sit down, and listen to the massege that nas will present in hiphop once his album drop instead of judging him. i feel that if he is calling his album title Nigger, and he explain why and it come out to be somthing positive, then there shouldn’t be a problem. being that that is his opinion, and that is the title for his album and he sticking to it, and im sure he not changing the album title for nobody who has a problem with it. and if most people don’t like the album title, then they should just keep quiet and stop blaming hihop for all the mistake that are going on in the world today, im sure his album title will be one of them. and even tho nas is not a consistent hiphop artist, he is a very smart hiphop artist and he should do what ever the fuck he want to do right now in his career, and we should support him. i mean this is hiphop and i think we shoud support that, i think calling his album title Nigger is very different idea in hiphop, and i think it will send a message. but i don’t think this album will sell big records like it suppose to, but then again it doesn’t matter. but i do feel that alot of different race will have a problem with the album title. being that you have different race in this world that probably wont accept it or buy his album cuz it called Nigger. but then agian nas does have the right to put out that type of album title and, i think we should support it. but i also hope what nas is putting out is also quality material album, and not just some album with an album title Nigger’ cuz then that would be some fuckup shit. but i do trust nas and i don’t think it would or should effect anybody of different race from buying the album. but if it does then they should have to understand that this is hip-hop. and if people have a problem with the album cuz of the ablum title weather your a fan or not, then don’t pay any mind toward the album, i feel that if nas want to put out an album title Nigger to prove somthing positive. then i think it would be somthing serious but great for hiphop, i mean his last album was called ‘hiphop is dead’ and people show lot of respect toward that album. i think they should show the same respect toward this album or don’t buy it. but the reason why i think it positive is cuz it will bring lots of attention in hiphop, and not just black folk if that what people think. and if white people have a problem with it, or buy it just to have a reason to get mad or to say the word Nigger then let them, it not there fault not saying that they should say that N word. but it is nas who is putting it out as his album title, but people wouldn’t get mad at nas they would just probably be focus on any white kids who say the N word. but it not like there calling any black folk Nigger, there just calling out what they are reading on the album. and if it get out of hand then it wouldn’t be nobody fault being that it just a album. i mean it shouldn’t be nothing racist but positive for hiphop at this point, being that hiphop seem to be felling being that there not enough support in hiphop period.

    NAS N-i**as A-gainst S-ociety! The word NI**ER(white racist form) and the word Ni**a(ghetto expression a term of respect)! Actually have diferent meanings!Where I grew up whites would ride thru and yell out the N-word as a insult(The problem they would neva stop the car&man up)!Anyway! the word Ni**a(i’m a real ni**a)!Means ur the type of black person that whites fear/hate!For ex. we had house NI**ER’S(shaped,fashioned by master) and then you had field NI**GAS(THE ONES WHO DIDNT GIVE F)!I’m done! Stay-up 2all! With all things get understanding!
