The controversy surrounding the title of Nas' new album "Ni**er", will be no more. A Def Jam representative confirmed today that Nas will change the name to simply "Nas".
It seems that the rapper was realizing the impact that the title of the new album was having and in an interview last week with MTV News he said, "Everybody is trying to stop the title.... 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?"
Knowing that this album has been long-awaited by many fans, Nas said "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans. It’s been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that, creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."
This is the MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR! I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT!
