More Details On The New Nas Album
“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.”
I can see the protests outside of stores already.

November 29th, 2007 at 8:33 am
^^^^^ forget you :p LOL
i think its a good idea, he wants to talk about history, let him talk about history. Nas is a poet, he makes u think.
November 29th, 2007 at 8:34 am
NO APOLOGY COMING FROM ME.NAS IS OFFICIALLY A COON.
November 29th, 2007 at 8:38 am
NAS UR WACK SHUT THE FUCK UP
November 29th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Just cause the nigga wear a koofie it dont mean that he bright, and just cause you dont understand him it dont mean that he nice
Lol naw Nas is cool, i just hope he dont preach to much on this album.
November 29th, 2007 at 8:49 am
@10, how is nas a coon?would a coon ever brngup such topic… and look at the reponse that name alone is getting whether it’s negative or positive feedback, at leat it has people engaging in conversations that may have never happened.
just like hhid, the title is al the promo he needs. publicity is better than advertising any day
November 29th, 2007 at 8:51 am
See what happens when your enemy fucks your girl then signs you to work for him?
You become Nas.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:00 am
@13
WHY IS NAS A COON? WELL WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS I NAMED THE ALBUM NIGGER BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BE AS NORMAL AS CRACKER IS.FOR SOMEBODY WHO READS AND CONVEYS AFROCENTRIC WAYS IN PREVIOUS ALBUMS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FLIP THE SCRIPT FROM ENCOURAGING YOUR PEOPLE TO LEARN THEIR HISTORY AND TO LIFT THEIR FIST UP FOR REVOLUTION TO NORMALIZING A WORD SO HORENDOUS AND INHUMANE?. . .YOU’RE GOING TO EXPRESS TO THE WORLD THAT THIS IS ABOUT ADVERTISING. WELL THAT TELLS YOU RIGHT THERE.ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY AND SELLING ALBUMS.WHAT DOES A COON DO? CHANGE UP FOR MONEY AND LEAVE BEHIND WHAT MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE IN THE 1ST PLACE.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:05 am
Nas is a legend he can do what he wants when he speaks people listion not alot of mcs have that interest that Nas creates no matter what the title of his album is called.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:10 am
Some of yall niggas soun dumb. Y’all too stupid to understand what Nas is tryin to convey in his music so yall say its wack. Yall jus stupid!!! LOL.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:11 am
WELL LETS JUST LOOK UP TO THE RAPPERS LIKE THEIR GODS THEN, SINCE THAT’S WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.. .
Nas is a legend he can do what he wants when he speaks people listion not alot of mcs have that interest that Nas creates no matter what the title of his album is called.
SORRY, I WILL NEVER LOOK UP AT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING LIKE THEY ARE GOD LIKE THEY ARE PERFECT.LIKE I SAID, THIS WORLD IS SO FUK UP THAT WE VALUE RAPPERS OVER OUR (OVER)200 MILLION ANCESTORS WHO WERE GENOCIDE DURING THE HOLOCAUST OF ENSLAVEMENT.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Nas Is A G Bottomline!
November 29th, 2007 at 9:17 am
WHOEVER IS HATING ON NAS FUCK YOU, GO CHOCK YOURSELF. THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HIS TALKING ABOUT. HIS GROWN, THIS GUY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT REAL SISTUATIONS, WHY DO PPL ARE UPSET? HIS NOT TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT DON’T EXIST, THIS IS THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH HURTS. SOME YA FUCKERS ONLY WANT TO HERE ARTISTS TALKING ABOUT SHIT THAT DON’T MEAN SHIT SUCH AS CARS, RIMS AND SHIT LIKE THAT. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER BE OPEN MINDED. THE ALBUM IS NOT OUT YET, SOME OF YA FUCKS ALREADY HATE’IN DAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:17 am
lol, i’m lovin the song title more than the album title. atleast this one is actually based on a true fact.Other races have always hated on the big Black d*ck, cuz its jus, that wonderfuly built…atleast for the majority,lmao. ummmmm….I cant wait to get off work. Yes! Count’n down on the clock. (taking off panties)
November 29th, 2007 at 9:18 am
I dig what you sayin # 15, but I hope Nas is just creating controversy so people cop the album. Nas is very intelligent or at least more aware of whats going on in the world today and he understands the blackman’s plight its obvious if you listen to his music (i.e. Black Zombies 1 of many). I don’t agree with trying to trivialize the N word, because I don’t think black or white people should use it because it perpetuates self hate when used by us and racism when used by whites.But like # 13 said its making people engage in conversation, which is a start
November 29th, 2007 at 9:21 am
ITS MY OBSERVATION ON HERE THAT PEOPLE CANT HAVE AN INTELLIGENT TRUTHFUL CONVERSATION ON THIS SITE.ITS WHETHER YOURE A HATER FOR TELLING THE TRUTH OR YOURE NOT A GANSTER FOR NOT BEING DOWN WITH IGNORANCE. THE FUNNIEST THING IS, THERE’S A HANDFUL ON HERE THAT CAN ACTUALLY CARRY A CONVERSATION.THE REST JUST INTERNET GANGSTERS STRAIGHT OUT OF MTV AND BET.DANG. . .THIS SHIT IS TOO OVERRATED.SAD AS HELL.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:27 am
i wish nas could make big records instead and make the music speak for itself… but lately he is acting like … mr publicity 50cent…
November 29th, 2007 at 9:28 am
I FEEL YOU #22. ENGAGING IN A CONVERSATION REGARDING A WORD IS GREAT.YET THE MESSAGE BEHIND IS STILL NOT PROGRESSIVE FOR AFRIKANS.WE CAN BOTH AGREE THAT AFRIKAN LEADERS OF THE PAST HAVE STATED CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES FROM CINQUE IN AMISTAD TO THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY.HOWEVER THE DIFFERENCE IS, THERE WERE PROGRESSIVE ACTIONS AND THEY ACTUALLY STOOD FOR SOMETHING THAT IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY, AND NOT FOR SELF INDULGING. WE ALL KNOW THROUGHOUT THE YEARS NAS HAVE WRITTEN GREAT MUSIC THAT MADE YOU PROUD TO BE WHO YOU ARE.YET HE IS KNOWN TO SELF INDULGING INDIVIDUAL,WHICH AT THE END OF THE DAY DEFEAT INITIAL THE PURPOSE.BUT I FEEL YOU ON WHAT YOU SAID.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:37 am
self indulgence is not always bad. it depends on if you want to indulge in them as well. i dont think that album sales are a driving force for Nas, hes one of those artists that still treats music as an artform. while others treat it as a job, and “a way out”.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:52 am
just hope Nasir don’t do Freeway numbers (36,000)
g-unit,roc & defjam lost
November 29th, 2007 at 10:07 am
baby tryin to be t.i. & r kelly while weezy hitin MS. LOndon!!!!!!!!
hiphop ani’t dead
it’s on vacation
ya dig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 10:42 am
IM GLAD NAS IS TALKIN ABOUT A SUBJECT LIKE THAT AND THAT SONG TITLE IS THE SHIT…CAUSE HUNREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AFRICANS WERE CASTRATED DURING THE TIME OF SLAVERY..CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP
November 29th, 2007 at 11:19 am
You know what… Im watching a program about the KKK on A&E right now.
Im seeing white people using the word nigger to demoralize us.
Im seeing generations of black people scorned, rejected, murdered, abused…
Im seeing our black women raped by white slave masters.
Im seeing a racist boss who in his mind thinks of me as a nigger who he has to put up with.
Im seeing white families sitting at there dinner tables calling us monkeys.
Im seeing a nigger trying to get a job but he was just rejected because he is balck.
Im seeing ignorant celebrities of today like paris hilton, dog the bounty hunter, the full cast of the comedy series seinfield calling us niggers and refusing to have a nigger on there show.
I think nas should take this album to that level. He should remind us as a balck people of how far we have come, and how much our parents and there parents had to deal with.
I support Nas’ …Nas has never made a song in bad taste he always has a message..
I think Nas is taking the power away from the word nigger, we as a balck people took it back as a sign of endearment..
Keep it going nas. you can now take the power from the word that whites use to demoralize us… and as dog the bounty hunter is fired for being how he is so shall many others see.. ignorance will no longer be supported..
100%

YES I NEED A RECORD LIKE LOST TAPES THIS SOUND GOOD BIG UP ESCO YOUR NUMBER FANS
November 29th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
YOU KNOW IF NAS IS A COON THEN JAY Z IS EVEN WORSE IN TERMS OF COONERY. JAY Z HAS DONE NOTHING BUT RELEASE SONGS BERATING WOMEN AND LABELING THEM AS NOTHING BUT HOS, ENCOURAGING THE DRUG TRADE (IN PRACTICALLY THE MAJORITY OF SONGS HE’S DONE) , TALKING ABOUT VIOLENCE AND PLACING ALL HIS VALUE ON MATERIALISTIC THINGS. MONEY CASH AND HOES, THAT IS THE BASIC SUMMARIZATION OF THE MESSAGE IN JAY-Z’S CAREER.
NOW REMEMBER I’M PLAYING DEVILS ADVOCATE HERE, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IF YOU CONSIDER NAS A COON WHILE YOU SAY JAY Z IS NOT ONE THEN YOU ARE TRULY A HYPOCRITE.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
ESCO GONE MENTAL NOW.PS ZIMBABWE IS DYING
November 29th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
F*ck that! Nas calls and album Hip Hop is Dead and he barely talk about the subject in the album. The title was contreversial but the content sure was not!
I don’t care what you name your album, but if you gonna try to be clever about your title elevate the debate through your lyrics!
I’ll give him another chance but I just see another publicity stunt.
I consider Nas as a legend because of the WAY he’s able to talk about things and only rarely because of what he actually says. Sorry don’t see as a really clever guy
November 29th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
LMFAO @ #12
on topic ; publicity stunts
November 29th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
@#34ruffneck… did u listen to hip hop is dead.. the title is a good title for that album.. yall cats need to stop hatin on nas.. he deserves just as much respect as jay-z, the person who 90% percent of the people on here worship like a god.. if this was jay doin the same thing all yall would be on his dick.. nas is a og to the game, he knws what he is doing, if its a publicity stunt, who cares.. every rapper promotes there album so it would sell.. what the fuck are u putting an album out for if u dont want it to sell.. u do what u have to do .. no one talks about jay-z appearing on kanye west interviews right before american gangsta came out.. no one called that a publicity stunt.. damn, yall people on here must think just because he call himself hova, he really is…
November 29th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
I dont know nothing bout dudes being gods and shit!!!I dont bow down to no man!!nas is a legend not a god!!!Easily the best to ever do it!!!So who gives a fuck what he names his album LOL you fuckers is funny getting all bent out of shape over of this shit!!!LOL!!Fuckers acting like they dont nod there head every time they hear ILLMATIC!!Get the fuck outta here!!STOP HATEN
November 30th, 2007 at 6:41 am
alkelbulanian is that jus a name or are you part of teh poets click? Sorry if you already answered but I haven’t been here in days!
as for nas I see his logic and understand his travel more now and I think if most people jus listen to nas and not try to judge him for being a man and not jesus/mohammed even though he was spittin the 55 talk he never really strayed from where the black man’s interest were.
ohhhhhhhhhh #21 please be more cool… talkin bout panties makin me wanna run back down there and pick you up from work… ;0) I’m almost at the end of my shift.
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:29 pm
1st Dick Gregory wrote a book same title, i am not sure but i don’t think it raised so much controversy. 2nd for all of you stuck in the past…wake-up!!! nothing defines you but you. 3rd, honestly people children are starving to death, bombs are being dropped on people’s heads, catastrophe’s around every corner, ands this is the topic you stuck on…….again…wake-up!!! it’s an album…..that’s it. the only power it has, like words is the power we give it.
peace

@40… I feel you man, although it f**ckin hard to read that sh*t.
With Nas is all about a different approach… hiphop nowdays is being catered for the ignorant to lil dudes with clothes that dont fit and fake metal… sh*t’s a joke right now, but aint nobody laughin… shit needs to stop.
bigups Nas.
