To all these people saying that NAS has nothing to rap about. See where your favorite rapper is after 10 albums. You have people like 50 that start stumbling after 2 albums. Todays rap artists suck. NAS’s longevity alone and being relavent says everything. To every person that says he’s doing it for record sales, the last time I checked he debuted at #1 and sold 900,000 units in the US. If that’s falling off you’re dillusional. PEACE!!!

well I wasn’t trying to offend anybody but thas just my opinion.

I thought we are all intitled to our perspective. The reason why i said that is cus from his previous album he said hip hop is dead and cost alot of khaos from that remember how the south took it personal. Now i know what yall gonna say the south killed hiphop and that just started a whole nother discussion.My point is is that the only way he can think of ways to rap is to rap about things that offend ppl. It’s creative but thats what he does.

I dno why u gettin mad lol like honestly this artist is intellieient but is this really necessary to make an album called nigger. Too me it’s too much of a publicity stunt.

@whoibeTeEthasme..

Nas has run out of things to rap about? Please grab his catalog and then grab YOUR favorite rappers catalog and tell me who’s run out of material?

And what does the dislike of the word, nigger, has to do with addressing some of the social ills and other effects surrounding the word? Stop being emotional, we have to discuss it to get over it.

I bet you don’t even understand why you “dislike” the word but it’s not just on you, most people don’t

But please continue to pick up those other rap albums where nigger is in every other bar….oops I forgot it’s with an “a” right, so it’s different? We can’t be this washed…..
