RealTalk, you sound corny.

what a moron

ppl do anything for publicity DAMN..

PLEASE PPL DONT EVEN POST ANYTHING ELSE, CAUSE THAT IS NAS WANTS CONTROVERSY FOR HYPE. PATHETIC FOR A MAN WITH HIS I.Q TO DO, ALL FOR A BUZZ.

ITS JUST A WAY TO SELL RECORDS…EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOIN IT..WHY KNOCK HIM..FUCK IT..EVERYBODY SAYS IT ANYWAY

NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

Nas, Dog you’re in my top 5 D.O.A., you’ve dropped constant quality music. This is beneath you to reduce yourself to gimmicks to gain a buzz.

(wipes tears, hit knees and prays for an Outkast album soon.)

The word “cracker” doesn’t have the same stign as “nigger” because “nigger” has a TERRIBLE and opressive history behind the use of the word u SHIT HEAD

Damn I hate Nas now

=====first and last post========

Yea Bushwick, exposed lol

i agree some of it might be for publicity. but its Nas yall. If thats the name of his album, he’s doing it to deliver a message. A positive message. Don’t hate until you listen to the album. It may be publicity for a good message ultimately.

The word “nigger” and positive don’t go together^^^

Obviously Nas has a reason for the title, hes a smart dude, hes not just gonna come out on some coon shit. Listen to the music and read what he has to say before hating on the album title.

My take on the title is that Nas is fighting back against the conservative media types who are attacking hiphop right now. I like where Nas is at, hes creating music to make you think: “Nigger” is a statment just like “Hiphop is Dead” was a statment. People might not agree with what hes saying but at least hes willing to stand up.

I DONT CARE WTF THE ALBUMS CALLED AS LONG AS IT IS A CLASSIC ALBUM WHICH ONLY CERTAIN MC’S ARE CAPABLE OF DOIN. NAS IS DEFINETLY ONE OF THEM.

Half of the people complaining about the word aren’t even black. The word is cool, its people perception and stereotypes about us that fucked up. If Fox news really had a issue with the word, whats the point in lying and saying that nas preaches violence. You cant enlighten people with lies. The real issue is they want to blame Hip-Hop once again for something we didn’t create but is associated with. Us nigga ain’t create the word, we flip it on them now they cant say it and they mad.

the shit better be hot, thats all that matters. that nigger shit better not be a ploy to get us to buy records.

nas should do radio, sort of like a new star and buckwild. becuz he seems to only care abouot shocking the people rather than being nice. he would make a good edgy shock jock. cuz musically i dont know what his goals are, he aint trying for platinum status or awards anymore he doesnt seem to care about that so what is his agenda. to shock and awe, thanx but no thanx

I think yall just jumping to conclusions that he doing it for publicity. Obviously the word nigga been under fire lately, so hes using that to deliver a message. If u not a true Nas fan then u dont have a right to critisize the dude. Stop jumpin to conclusions, read the article, he’s naming the album that to make a statement,relay a message, but all yall see is dude tryna get publicity. I mean yall havent even heard the damn album yet, and yet u bringing it down. Give the shit a chance.

NAS THATS NOT A GOOD LOOK BUT HE TRYIN 2 WORK UP SOME HYPE SO…

I agree wit #9, as long as the album is a classic and has some bangers, I could care less. Like we all know, he’ll come up wit a song detailing the origin and the history behind the word. Hopefully, the idiots don’t come out and be like NAS always be trying to teach and shit (hahahaha).

IDEA FOR NAS: HE SHOULD CALL THE ALBUM “N-WORD”. NO NOT NIGGER BUT “N-WORD”. ITS JUST A THOUGHT. I HOPE YOU READ THIS NAS MAN AND I DONT WANT ANY MONEY FOR IT JUST A SHOUTOUT IF YOU USE IT.

“Nigger was the title of Dick Gregory’s autobiography, it’s sad that this is even a conversation” . Bottom line is if Cornell West was writing this book, would it be a issue? Nope b/c they “White” media and these out of touch with the youth Blacks, think all rappers are dumb, which in itself is calling Nas a Nigger.

Stop kissing ass Oprah,Jesse Jackson,Bill Cosby, and Al Sharpton.

All this mind-game bullshit is past me…
Afro Americans call there own people n!gg@ becuase white people cant!? (wow) you got ‘em there,
TAKE THAT WHITE AMERICA!!!!! NAS PLEASE!!!
Let me get this straight, is Nas asking white people to call him nigger so it’ll “sting less” every time it’s been said to him and the rest of us?????????
the only way the word NIGGER will have less meaning, is if people forget how it came about.. calling your LP the n word and saying that’s your reason?
that’s just wack! plain and simple wackness

let’s all say the N word and hope Nas next album will become a classic
(cheers!!)

At first I was like WTF? But now I feel what he trying to do…”Nigger” has a lot of sentiment behind the word, which is why other races use it as a way to belittle blacks…If other races saw that the word “nigger” didn’t hit a “soft spot” when used out of anger, then they would stop using it, because it would be meaningless to do so…So, I respect what Nas is doing for that…

Like for example, whenever a white person gets me upset or does something ignorant, I call them “stupid nigger”…The look on their face of confusion and bafflement is one of a kind…They get stuck, speechless and go into shock…THE SH*T IS PRICELESS!…LOL…Just a form of reverse pyschology I picked up…

…I’m biracial, but never really faced any type of prejudices, but my parents have…And, the fact that I share the best of both worlds between them makes me see everyone as equal…And for that…white people can be called “niggers” too…When I do that I feel like i’m devaluing the word for whits to use it in a harmful manner…So like I said before I get what Nas is trying to do, and I respect his movement…

He won’t go gold unless the entire album is classic. He pissing a lot of people off for a stupid title. I like the idea of taking away from the word. I always said when black people hear other races say nigga/nigger we act the same way females do when you call them a bitch. Just seems stupid to me cause its a word. Words have no meaning with out people.

im starting to not like this guy

first he says hip-hop is dead and we all had to go threw that.

Now he’s bringing more contorversy ..

nas is smart but only in his lyrics

these muthafuckas think their revolutionary with their ideas
that dude he should be lynched to be reminded of oh strong the word his.u just cant take history away,SOLDIERS GET READY A WAR IS COMING!

i can only imagine all non-black people whos gonna buy this.
hahaha “please give me the cd NIGGER”

cosign 5.

see nas needs shit like this to get a buzz

fuck him

Nas is trying to desensitize the N-word, don’t we have enough people doing that as it is? I would prefer less controversial album titles and more focus on the music.

u said it !

I disagree…why is nameing a album “Nigger” a problem when we had albums named “Niggaz4life” and KMD with the depiction of blackface cartoon bein’ lynched???
As long as Nas make it a concept album it’s cool…even if it’s not it’s still alright cause of Freedom of Speech!

Nas aint doin this for the buzz or the sales……hes already a multimillionaire and a well known rapper with a huge fan base, he doesnt need neither buzz nor sales…..hes doin this for a purpose, just like how Hip Hop is Dead had a purpose…..everythin Nas does has a purpose, thats the kind of guy he is, and thats why I respect him so much, nobody else in hip hop has the balls to do somethin like this

I mean, if Dem Franchise Boys came out wit a title called “Nigger,” I would be like get the fuck outta here, thats some ignorant ass shit, but we all know Nas is intelligent and does shit for a purpose……dudes truly a revolutionary when it comes to hip hop music….u gotta respect that, whether u agree with his actions or not

#17…the labels might make him change it to that
#18 #9 #10 #14 & #20 I agree

nigga was ok but then change to “er” i’ll break a nigga neck for that.nigga was used get rid of er now he is taking 10 steps back people would anything for publicity he should change it negro. we dont know shit about the cd just the title is first single gonna be worst.

Nas knows that sadly contrvesy sells and he is using it to his advantages if the messages in the songs are on point I don’t give a shit what he names the album.

First off, Nas is one of the greats. He doesn’t need to do anything to get a “buzz”…the man’s proven lyrical talent is all the buzz he’s ever needed…c’mon, when the fuck have you ever seen a Nas commercial? U haven’t, cuz the people who buy his shit have always bought his shit and aren’t your typical 16-23 year old clone who need to look at what video is playing 100 times a day on BET and MTV or check what their friends are listening to before they can tell you what they like.

Secondly, I think the point that Nas is trying to make is that it’s just a word, and that we as a people have much more pressing matters to be concerned with than a fuckin’ word…just like the bitch comment from up above…if you ain’t a bitch, you shouldn’t answer to that name. If you ain’t a “nigger”, then you shouldn’t even care about it….the very fact that we as a people are dying off from ignorance (drugs, disease, violence, all by-products of ignorance) and all our so called “leaders” can do is debate the n-word and hiphop ought to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what everyone seems so diehard to contradict whenever the word is brought up: We got kids killing kids, babies having babies, growing drop-out rates, out of control materialism, a damaging sense of entitlement…if the only thing you can squawk about is the word nigger than guess what? You ARE one!

As for Nas’ agenda, well I think it’s the same as it’s always been, the same as any REAL artist…his agenda is to create. The fact that someone pointed out he’s not just trying to go platinum as if it were a negative is just how the game got so fucked up in the first place…fuggin’ kids.

Cocaine is a helluva drug !!!

yo hold up .i no ever one knows that nas gots a grip off material this shitt goin to be so tight,and if not then hes done…….

co-sign 29…

nas doesnt even kno wut his tryin 2 say..he doesnt seem to be able to clearly explain his motives thats wut makes this shyt look even more stupid..

Why’s he doin it… for this type of discussion!

It’s a shame (most of) you gotta get shot 4 times and ran over (not literally) jus to realize somethings goin on around you other than bling and baggin up!

I agree with the wait for the album to drop 1st comments cause those of us who listen and analyze realize hip hop is dead was his title indeed but it wasn’t his full belief.

p.s. blame jay z he runs the label right!? lol..smh (I bet you the jigga man fans don’t think he’s the one callin the shots on this one)

I don’t do the e-thuggin like some of u cowards, but my man Nas is the topic of discussion, so I’ma keep it 100. Nas is the greatest outside Pac, so real niggaz know that Nas ain’t using the title for no coon shit, he gonna enlighten these dumb niggaz that thinks its cool to be on some “nigga” shit…remember “U believe when they say we ain’t shit, we can’t grow, all we are is drug dealers, gangstas and hoes” on “Black Zombies”, that’s what Nas is coming with. He’s gonna let niggaz know that corporate America dictates the portrayal of black culture now, that’s why BET run nothin but videos of bitches shakin their asses and dudes talkin bout “Wipe me down” on some 07 new coonery shit. BET got only a fuckin 2 min. BET news break, like niggaz is just dumb and don’t care what going on in the world. At 11p, we watchin Comic View while everybody is watchin the news. Outside the hype of the title, this could very well be one of the most important albums of our generation if its a classic. Unless u know Nas’s whole catalog, u shouldn’t even comment on shit, cuz real hip-hop heads know whats up. If u take offense, that means u probably a dumb nigga. If a nigga got somethin to say, please don’t come at me on some dumb shit, or some expletive “I’ma fuck u up by hitting these computer keys extra hard shit”. State your point in an intellectual context and we’ll go from there. Co-sign #32, let these niggaz know. 1.

YO wake up peple thw ord nigger didn’t enslave us for 400 year , the word nigger didi not rape our wives , the word nigger did not rob us of our identity , it a motherfucking word and whats worst if none of u Know what it meams , u see word also have history , look it up yall . the word nigger comes from the word negro which is spanish for black which comes from the latin word niger wich also means black so why not ban the word black from our vocabulary. I can’t say if Nas is doing a publicity stunt by I applaud him for addressing a pressing issue cus hip hop is the streets news , unless u house niggers relly on fox , wait untill the albums is out then comment , that is exactly what ‘THEY” WANT to do seperate us , divide and conquer , the same way they did 400 years ago know your history , know your word we will not overcome racism , wich comes from ignorance by banning words from our vocabulary , only thru education can we be free dont let them take that away from us wake up my people wether u think u are black or a nigger we are all in the same boat and our forfathers GOT hung with same same rope , the word nigger is and will always be a part of us make your peace with it moove on .

NAS CAN KICK ROCKS…

HE LOST ALL MY RESPECT WHEN HE SAID HIP HOP IS DEAD…

AND LOOK AT THAT TRASH HIS WIFE BRINGS OUT… IS THAT REAL MUSIC?!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ shoulda listened to the album still, he explains his statement.

and what does what his wife put out have to do with the material and title of his album?

i think nas went a lil to far ima nas fan to da end 2nd best rapper of all time behind 2pac R.I.P.but nas we dont need anymore bad publicity bra but i wanna hear da album first before i start jumpin to conclusions i hope his shit will be a classic so he can finally get da respect he deserves…

GMC WE ALL WE GOT…

So rappers and black people from the ghetto and projects are gonna stop calling themselves niggas and start calling themselves niggers???

Whats up nigger, not much my nigger, die nigger, fuck you nigger, I’m a kill me a nigger, COULD ALL BE PHRASES USED BY THE NEXT GENERATION OF POOR (mostly 80% of Americas black population)BLACK PEOPLE! Great, good to see we are progressing. Because instead of Nas making an album title like ‘a hustlers education’ where he can inspire kids to learn, he comes up with a title like NIGGER. WAKE THE FUCK UP BLACK AMERICA (and I do mean black america), DO NOT BUY THIS FUCKING ALBUM!!!

The bottom line is the album NIGGER is not going to make the word NIGGER any less powerful. People don’t buy albums nowadays but oh they will notice that NIGGER album cover when they walk into that local Best buy. Should I be proud to buy an album called NIGGER. Should I be proud that rich black ‘artists’ are using a word like nigger as their album title just to be controversial enough to get my attention. No.

‘NIGGER’ will not improve the lack of jobs in the ghetto
‘NIGGER’ will not solve the inner-city education crisis
‘NIGGER’ will not cause black on black crime to drop
‘NIGGER’ will not make white kids say the word less
‘NIGGER’ will not make the harshness of the word any sweeter

well 27 #

i dno who had a album named that but all i know is out of all the times to put out an album with the name nigger this is not the time… black ppl are talked about on the news just as much as the discussion of the world on iraq..

we are subsitute for the news when they get tired of speaking about the updates of war on iraq

Dear Nas (lol):

nas u can call this album whatever u want to, but please put out a classic. give us 15 dope ass tracks….which would be the dopest album in around 10 years. your albums are always good, but u always put like 2-3 tracks on the album that arent necessarily wack, just maybe a little too creative. like the shit on your last album, was it track six, where u was talkin in the dick tracy voice. what the fuck was that? u fucked up the whole album. just give us 15 dope ass tracks, and you’ll be everybody’s favorite rapper again. u could literally make hip-hop do a 360. niggas would start writin different, new artists would come out more hip-hop oriented, nigga just like what happened when illmatic came out. nas i know u got it in u. take your time, and come out wit a classic. some premo, kanye, dre, havoc. no timbaland, pharrel commercial bullshit. and whoever made the first track on your last album, make sure u get him in the studio too. first track on the album is one of the best songs u came out wit in years. come on nas, go hard one last time

Your Friend,

Whoa

co sign realtalkca

Yo can u imagine going to the store and hear a white person asking for the nigger album.”Yall got that nigger album?” thats crazy Nas.Thats embarrasing yo.Probably cause alot of conflict at work places, i guarantee it.

My bet is that in November the albums name will be changed to “N”.

but I can still see where Nas is going with this. He is our new Public Enemy no.1. This is why Immortal Tech and em dont get shine. Reckless revolutionary minds.

i dont think nas needs a ‘publicity stunt’ to sell records but honestly, he should have his freedom to name his album whatever he wants. i thought we lived ina country where there was such things as human rights. and that includes the freedom of expression. hey at least nas aint white that would be on some next shit.

@# 32

Nas was in a commercialit was a sprite commercial. Any regarding Nas I don’t know whats going on with him. I actually believed him when he said hip hop was dead because I think he was talking about the concept,style and intullectual breakdown of hip hop. I will beileve that the label will change the title because, 1. The history of the word. 2. The outrage and protest. and 3 The label don’t want no heat or negative media attention on them.

hahaha co-sign #33

and i never give new Nas albums a serious look becuase NO ONE can match illmatic

What can I say? He made Illmatic! One Love. But naming an album Nigger that’s just absurd. Get back to the old ways! Illmatic - best album ever!

You know what niggas i dont give a fuck man. He wanna call his album NIGGA let the nigga do it then. Its his dam buisness. White folks dont like the fact that they used it to put us down during slavery and now they cant say it and we can. It kills them that they cant use it and we say it freely. Whatever is negative for them has to be the same for us…we’ll i dont give a fuck NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA! I SAID IT WHAT!??

motherfuckers are judging nas on his album name….”OOOH HIS ALBUM NAME IS ‘LETS EAT DOG SHIT’ SO IM NOT EVEN GOING TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM”

Nas is makin a buzz, and you fuckers are fallin for it. Don’t just doubt him blindly…i’m sure hes got a plan for the outcome of all this

Listen to the album then voice your true opinion of what he is doing…

I hope Nas reads this: this is the worse idea he had since “You Owe Me” Somebody tell Nas to stop being a diva. This is a dumb idea and I really hope it doesn’t come to fruition! Naming an album nigger is not going to change the years of history attached to it and its not going to make the fact that a white boy says it any less hurtful volatile or dangerous! This upsets me!

There are ways to bring attention to a subject without using ignorance and Naming an album nigger is not going to become any big revolutionary catalyst. As a matter of fact after this album if any white boys say nigger in my presence I’m tryin my best to fuck him up and they got Nas to thank for even more anger attached to that word! I don’t care if it was Hov, its just nonsensical!

Last comment: If Nas does in fact name his album Nigger or anything closely resembling it I will not be buying it!

Man. Everybody likes to Judge books by It’s cover. If everyone was really concerned, then No one would buy 50’s album, Jay-z’s album or any rapper thats hot right now for using the N word. Truth is everybody who left a comment on this list probly uses the N-word. Im a listner of Nas’s Music. As a fan I listen with open ears, cause I know he is actually saying something. If Cornel West wrote a book, Titled Nigger. People would anticipate the knowledge being spread. What makes this different?

What im trynna say like #32 said. All these rappers in the game right now (Whipe me down and Throwin D’s) rap about non-sence. Rap as a whole is at a level Of Blissful ignorance. There are few rappers out there Like Common and Nas that spread a message through their music. Look at his history before you judge his motives. This Music is an art. He is paintin a picture for you with his album. If your too stuborn to open your eyes and see the big picture, thats your loss. I definately will be buying this album.

PPl come down, what Nas is trying to do is to makes talk about this situation among each other and understand what’s going on. We use it all the time don’t we??? Nas is a very smart guy, he did the same thing with HIP HOP IS DEAD, he knows Hip Hop is Not dead, he just want us to evaluate it and see were we are, ya dig. I was socked at first myself, be ya see giving you all my two senses so is everybody in hear. FUCK FOX NEWS AND THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION. WHY ARE THEY SO CONCERN ABOUT IT?????? THINK.

Personally being black and reading that Nas (a great MC) wants to name his new album Nigger bothers me. Why is everyone dead set on continuing to use this word. I usually don’t use it in a conversation their is not a need for the word once you reach a certain age. If your still using the N word well into your 30’s (Nas, Jay-Z..etc) give it a rest.

i’m eric. joining a couple boards and looking
forward to participating. hehe unless i get
too distracted!

eric

People do you realize how out of touch with reality we have become as a people I mean damn the mind of the slave is still allive and well it’s quite obvious that those of you who have a problem with the title of the cd are exactly that a nigger a son of the enemy your hurt by the title cause he’s expressing a false sentiment and in his halls of congress he still calls you that wake up how long are you going to sleep THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO SOMEONE WHO IS SLEEP IS A DAMN DREAM WAKE THE HELL UP

They killing people wholesale in iraq and you crying over the use of a damn word why don’t you force the issue your self and find out if the still view you a nigga have the changed the three fiths amendmant hell no the haven’t sit your scary ass down somewhere or go lean wit or rock wit it but when wisdom is being discussed fools need not respond

i’m so confuse. everyone is trashing Nas for naming his album nigga. But how many of ya’ll use that word on a day to day . If this bothers ya’ll so much start making a change in your vocabulary as well. We has black people slang that word around too much.

The fucked up part about this is NWA brought out a album called niggas for life and niggas with attitude’s and muthaphackas called it a classic.And it was all Gangster and killing talk.But Nas wants to teach and clearly tell his story of what should be done with the word to better things but everyone wants to hate on him.That’s bullshit,I guess you can look at a David Chappelle and say the same but we don’t because we think the shit is funny when marks it.We should feel the same way towards his show but niggers don’t so come off it ain’t bother you then but this time it might correct things and make you understand why it’s serious when the word nigger is used.Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover.In my eyes Nas proved the whole meaning of his album,Nigger which is in the dictionary as a ignorant person.See the positive side of things and we ignore them.
