Nas Changes Album Title!!!
May 19th, 2008 | Author: Andreas Hale
Nas' upcoming album came with a title that has drawn more than enough attention than the fact it was his next album. Nigger was the name of the prolific lyricist’s ninth studio album - the key word here is “was."
According to EW.com, a Def Jam representative has confirmed that Nas will no longer be naming his upcoming project Nigger. Instead, Nasir Jones will opt for a less controversial title: Nas.
It looked as if Nas and Def Jam were comfortable with the eyebrow-raising album title. Island Def Jam Music Chair, L.A. Reid, even went so far as to say “Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him," in an interview last year.
But as the release draws near, Nas spoke to MTV about the increasing pressure to change the title.
“Everybody is trying to stop the title," Nas stated. “Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what’s gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what that title will be?"
Apparently, the phrase “pressure busts pipes” has finally reared its head and the controversial title has finally been changed.
No comment as of yet from Nas or Def Jam regarding the change as of press time. Look for Nas' now self titled album in stores July 1st.

No he didn’t... Universal threatened to pull $85,000,000 out of Def Jam if Nas released the album with that title.
And especially with the songs that’ve already been released... you heard the song “Nigger (the slave and the master)"? Damn good song & lyrics on that one... the beats only aight, but like I said before the lyrics are great.
And as for Nas sucking...

say fuck you, and I’ll bet that Nigger’s gonna be added to the list.
I personally think this is gonna be a lot better than HHID (which wasn’t a bad record either).
