May 19th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Tagged as Nas

After stirring up a firestorm of controversy, Nas has changed the title of his upcoming July 2008 album from Nigger to Nas.

A Def Jam representative has confirmed that Nas will no longer be naming his forthcoming ninth studio release Nigger.

Nas is now set to hit stores on July 1st.

What do you think about the album title change?

    I thought it was a bad decision in the first place! I never liked the title, I don’t agree with it in any way, shape, or form….
    BUT at the same time if he was gonna name it that he should’ve grabbed his balls and stuck with it. I think it’s a bad idea to change it even though I hate the name. He should man up and keep it that. Don’t cause controversy and then back down!

    Last night at a Nas concert he claimed he was not going to change the name. So I guess we’ll see July 1st.
