Unmoved by the opposition, Nas has stated that he won’t be changing the album’s title. Furthermore, he claimed that Def Jam, a subsidiary of Universal, was not opposed to the title.
As reported by The Brooklyn Paper, Fort Greene assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries has asked New York’s Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, “to withdraw the $84 million that the state pension fund has invested in Universal and its parent company, Vivendi”.
“[They are] profiting from a racial slur that has been used to dehumanize people of color for centuries,” Jeffries said. He added, “It is time for Nas and other hip-hop artists to clean up their act and stop flooding the airwaves with the N-word.”
According to The Brooklyn Paper, a recent report proved ‘the New York State Pension Fund has $2.8 billion invested in 16 major entertainment companies, including Time Warner and Disney. That number does not include the state’s investment in Vivendi.’ Jefferies (who was an assistant general counsel at CBS as well as a lawyer for Viacom prior to being elected to into office last year) said, “It’s a staggering amount of money, which at least justifies a review of the appropriateness of the content that is flooding the public,” A DiNapoli spokesmen who oversees the pension fund, stated that the comptroller “is concerned about this issue and is intending tocontact [Universal] and urge them to halt the release of the album.
Earlier this year, The New York City Council voted to ban the use of the word “nigger”.
“The [Council made] an important symbolic step, but I’m more interested in the substantive approach of reviewing themulti-billion-dollar investment that the New York State pension fund makes in the entertainment industry,” Jeffries said.
When contacted for a comment, Universal did not respond. NIGGER is slated for release on December 11th.

you got 2 be kiddin me
Nas album is gon be bangin, but seein dat deeez fools will take damn mear $100 million dollars for usin nigger as and album, if I was nas I would chamge it, dats alot of fuckin money
True word
who iz these old niggas and white niggas 2 stop us young niggas from usin the n word???, this music aint 4 them, so if they dont liek wat they here, dont listen, and if u dont want ya kids watchin the videos, blocc the channels, thats all
Youngnido said it best.
this is gonna b history...
Well thats the end of it, he WILL be changing the name of this LP. If you think otherwise, you are a fool...
fuck nas you are fuckt up
I AM NOT BUYING THAT CD AND I HOPE HE CHANGES THE NAME.. WHITE PEOPLE ON MESSAGE BORDS ARE JUST SAYING HOW STUPID US BLACKS ARE FOR THINKING IT COOL TO NAME THE ALBUM NIGGER. IF NAS CAN SAY NIGGER SO CAN WITHE'S IF NAS GET FREEDOM OF SPEECH I THINK WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD AS WELL..
I disagree with your comment, if anything, white people thought it would be okay to say nigger when Eminem came out. This album title will not change the way white people say the word nigger. Black people call themseleves and friends that all the time, and most white folks are still scared of using this word. If white people are still scared of using the word nigger even after a white boy names Eminem does it, they will still be scared to use that word even after a cd is called nigger.
em dont say nigga he wont say nigga, he said kiss my blacc ass....lol...and he called a blacc girl a bitch in a old song, but bacc 2 nas, nas iz very intalectual, if he callin the album nigger he got a reason,besides, the more u say somthin the less meaning it has, so if u think, niggas use'n the word now in days alot is a good thing
Damn Youngnido you be talking like me homie.
Meek I couldnt disagree with u more. Blacks can call eachother nigga but if some pale face honkey calls one of us that he WILL get fucked up! Whitey used the term to denegrate blacks for centuries instead of wanting to use that term freely like us they should worry about giving us that 40 acres and a mule. And o yeah...cover up ur saggy A cups ur making me sick... Thanx =0)
Shaboogiebk, first of all, way to keep racism alive on the internet. I swear to God, racism is never going to completely go away, but IF it did, it'll still be alive and well on the internet cause of people like you.
Second of all, Meek IS right. Just no one wants to admit it. Black people get mad when White people use the word nigga, cause of "slavery this, slavery that, blah blah blah.." That already makes your guys' argument faulty. They don't say it as a way of bringing up the past, neither are they thinking about that. What they see is a word in pop culture that's is being used frequently to mean "bro." THAT'S IT. I would donate money to the charity of any race or group that successfully stops a specific group of people from saying a word, like "cool" "bro" that is known to be popular.
That's the reason why wetback, chink, and kyke aren't used by everyone. White people are the reason why the word "nigger" existed, but Black people are the reason why the word "nigger" is still alive. And it's ARBITRARY. Have any one of us complained when our parents told us not to swear by saying "but stopping us from saying it is giving power to that word and blah blah blah?" No. Have women started using the word "ho" excessively to "take out the word's teeth?" No. Do gay people say the word "fag" to an extreme amount? No. So why this word? STUBBORNESS. Either everyone can say this word or no one can. PERIOD.
All of us have to start leading by example, for real.
ya shaboogiebk if i get called a "pale face honkey" by some ignorant fool i'm fucking him up too..fucking retard
Nas is one of 4 or so good lyricists left in rap..if he's naming his album this he's got something to say, this album will be dope
i'm white and i don't think this is a dumb album title..and i won't be calling any blacks 'nigga' that ain't my friends..buy the fucking album..sit down..and learn something
Then Don't Buy it, But for you stupid ass mutha fuckers that don't know shit peep this. If Nas says that he's going to use the word Nigga for his cd then it must be a good reason on why he is doing it.Nas is one of those artist that make you think about what he's up too. Now if DMX or some kind of artist like that would use the N word well then that would be different. When Nas said he wanted to use the word nigga the first thing that hit me was that this nigga is about to hit us in the head with some real knowledge of self.So why is it now that all these so called hip hop heads are putting the cd title down,has everyone turned their head already,and if so that is funny because people will go out in buy a G-Unit cd with all its bring the people down bullshit like any other artist but people don't want to suport a NAS cd because he's using the word NIGGA as the title.LOL people need to really think before they speak or might i say type...
I cannot WAIT TO PURCHASE FOUR copies of this album. I KNOW Nas has got a lot in store for us. I also LOVE HOW Nas' album titles (i.e. Hip-Hop Is Dead, Nigger) create mass hysteria! I guess he's still SUPER RELEVANT after all! I didn't see any congressional hearings over Free At Last, Curtis, or Graduation (which is 2x platinum now, dammmmmnnnn) and NO, I didn't purchase EITHER)!
Nas - GREATEST RAPPER/LYRICIST OF ALL TIME... PERIOD.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Albums I've PURCHASED in the last 365-day fiscal cycle and the order in which I like them:
***********************************************************************************************************************************
1. [The Score - The Fugees (I KNOW, NOT FAIR!)]; TOP 5 Greatest Rap Albums of ALL Time... PERIOD.
2. Hip-Hop Is Dead - Nas; Nas came HARD with the BEST RAP ALBUM OF 'O6, in December.
3. Back to Black - Amy Winehouse; if she STOP drinking, she'll be a LEGEND! Gotta LOVE the Rehab Remix with Jay-Z and the You Know I'm No Good joint with Ghostface.
4. Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae; quietly platinum, Corinne is that ISH!
5. I Am - Chrisette Michele; yet another genius/legend in the making, if she continues to go hard! She's a lyrical and vocal BEAST!
6. Rapp-Murr-Phobia (The Fear of Real Hip Hop) - Keith Murray; best rap album that I've HEARD that dropped IN '07
7. Red Gone Wild - Redman; this album was FIRE, but it was a bit too long and got a lil' weak @ the end...
8. T.I. vs. T.I.P. - T.I.; VERY ENERGETIC ALBUM! T.I. really impressed me! Hot collabos!
9. The Format - AZ; there were 4 or 5 tracks on this joint that were FIRE... if only he could do it for an ENTIRE ALBUM!
10. Finding Forever - Common; boring ass album... Track 3, For The People, is the HARDEST JOINT!
11. Eardrum - Talib Kweli; boring ass album... Talib NEVER switches up his flow... Track 3, Deliver Us, is the HARDEST JOINT!
12. Just Like You - Keyshia Cole; NOT better than her 1st effort, which let me down... a couple hard joints, though.

This is real talk. The world needs to prepare itself for the REVOLUTION!!!
why he always coming out with these outlandish album titles
hes a idiot that tries to hard to be great
you think universal gonna loose 84 million dollars on a album that aint even gonna go platinum
han
ask yourself
why would you even name your album nigger you dumb fuck
I just wanna stomp his fuckin head in
You a faggot that dont know anything,you will remain uneducated and uncivilised.You should know Nas would have an explanation on his decision for his album title, and it’s funny how we can embrace all these other rappers talking about cars and bitches and hoes, things that are killing us as a people but we lift up because it has a good beat, but we can’t even begin to hear Nas’ explanation before people start sending ignorant comments and sounding like they just finish wit the weed.
The N word is freely used among our people because its meaning has changed. It’s been made ordinary usage, and it really only has it’s sting when other races use it against us, whether or not they were meaning any harm at all. So I suppose Nas wants to somewhat neutralize the word, well I commend his attempt, but either way you slice it, we still have a long way to go before we can hear the N word from another race and not want to lay them out, and it’s going to take more than a cd to get us there.
dictionary,you r the most ignorant person in the world,I really feel sorry for you.
I find it funny that black people have a problem with the word “nigga”, but we go calling each other “nigga” and I’m not speaking in a derogatory sense.his CD will spit “STRAIGHT KNOWLEDGE”. That’s the reason NAS is upset in the first place. People are sooo quick to judge.Fuck all ya
He's a little kid! Why are y'all arguing with him!!?
i think he is doin it for sells why else would u do that cuz the nigga knew it would get people talkin
Its only a word people. A word. It will not stop us as a people from accomplishing anything we set out to do. The whole point is to try and get us to not trip off it so much. White people do not go into a frenzy over the word Cracker or Honkey.
Why? Because they are secure in themselves as a people. We should be secure in ourselves and not trip so much off a word.
White people call us niggers people. Get over it. People are talking about the white people who are gonna go around saying nigger because of the album. GOOD!! These are the ones who have been saying it behind your dumb ass back anyway. Arent you glad now you know who they are?
history
NAS IS THAT NIGGA
**EXPLAINS THE WHOLE SITUATION TRUTHFULLY** http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/article_2114.shtml
He should be able to name his shit whatever he wants too, I mean damn its not illegal to use the word or anything...but could you really picture a white kid walking up in the cd store like"hey do you guys have any copies of Nas' new cd nigger?" I think not
Question? Why are there sooo many DUMB motherfuckas on this site?
PPl don't see that nas is trying to take all the power aways from racist white people who still use the word in a derogitory manner?? DUMB FUX...
If the word NIGGER not NIGGA becomes openly used in a non-derogitory manner, racists whites in alabama won't be able to phase anyone of color by calling them that...
secondly im sick of fake ass revolutionaries like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton always sticking their fuckin noses in place, while simultaneously doing ABOSOLUTELY NOTHING for our race....
I mean these niggas have made a fucking career out of the 'civil rights' movenment...
Get me...They made a career outta it...
The people who were really fighting for our race are dead right now because they were a REAL THREAT to the whites of this country..(Martin, Malcom, Black Panthers, PAC..etc)
Get the fuck outta here...
I agree with you there! I've said that so, so many times... Again, for the record:
Phony ass reverands Al "Mr. TV" Sharpton and Jesse "Infidelity" Jackson do NOT speak 4 me.
skeazaleo speaks da truth. artists can't even say what they say witout bein criticized now
Whaddup,
After listening to most of the recent albums, including those from Kanye, 50, and a stolen version of Jay... I would like to announce to the entire Hip Hop community and all of its affiliates that as of now I am turning in my letter of resignation. I fought through what I first considered a temporary lull in good music; taking shelter in sparsely released "decent" albums but DAMMIT.... NO MORE!!! 50 is cliche, Kanye is "off" and Jay is (sigh)...Hova is....(sigh)THE KING IS DEAD!!! I refuse to listen to weirdo, reject rap like Brother Ali and dead Prez. The South is not an option because I'm educated. Talib and his bohemian buddy Common attract too many white people. Nas never bounced back from his emasculation. And most of all Dr. Dre will NEVER release Detox. The future shows no promise. Wayne, Lupe, Saigon, Papoose....WHATEVER
For these reasons, and many others I must leave you all to seek better music. I will always remember the great times we had:
Death Certificate, Midnight Mauraders, Ready to Die, The Blueprint, The Chronic, Reasonable Doubt, The Diary, Liquid Swords, Late Registration, Uptown Saturday Night, It Was Written, The Infamous, Southernplayalistic... but what have you done for me lately?
So, like we used to say before everybody got so fly and cute and homo-friendly....Peace
Detroit_313 — 5 minutes ago
Nas never bounced back from his emasculation.
- What??
tell them how you really feel!!! you wrong about nas tho
i respect dat opinion da man speakin his mind!
yo i agree man the 90's was where hip hop was at.. i got my top 10 list in that jay-z news column shit among other opinions such as what u speakin on nigga...mad respec with what u had 2 say Detroit..
"Nigga" or "Nigger" are the same! I have just gotten away from freely using the word UNLESS i speaking of "Nigga's" (mentally dumb, modern-day slave). Nas is going to give this word an actual definition so it has its place. . .Look, the word isnt going away so give it a fitting place. I hope they do the same for that ignorant n!gga term "Baby Mama, Baby Daddy". Sad. . .
believe me Nas has a real purpose with this, YALL ACTIN LIKE NAS DONT TRY AND TEACH US ABOUT OUR HERITAGE MORE THAN ANY MAINSTREAM RAPPER, OR ANY RAPPER OTHER THAN LIKE KRS ONE PERIOD. C'MON SUPPORT A REAL DUDE
ok.........IF THEY LET HIM PUT OUT A ALBUM CALLED nigger... they why can't we say nigga in the streets or on songs... BUT even i think calling a album nigger is to far.... NAS u tripin man. this is a bad look 4 hip hop.. .but hopefully u have a plan
the intro to the album is straight fire! let him do what he wants hes comnin with ILLMATIC and for every other artists sake id hope i was lyin, but i know music and hes one of the most intellectual rappers of all time hes comin with nothin but heat-illmatic
why nas why?
imagine a white kid say amma cop naz album nigger n get beat up
man betta change dat shit
wha he tryna pull pac strictly 4 all ma niggaz
nwa came out with efilrofzaggin before pac came out with his so they started that.. pac just pulled a nwa
Nas is just Jay-Z`s bitch.. he aint never been doing shit.basicly on Takeover
Jay exposed Nas & killed him, With the sales that shit was bought up by Def Jam.
Regardless of what i think of Jay you gott admit Nas fell off big..He wasnt there for
His clicks Braveheart,Firm.. he left them niggaz in the background.
Him doing "Hip Hop Is Dead" shows he dont got no passion for the genre..he changed.
Either way this nigga back in 1993 was one of the illest but then he selled out.
Him calling his album "Nigger" though i dont think thats gonna happend.Would
Only be promoting racisme and its not gonna end that word only promote it.
Thats real talk and either way a african american shouldnt tolerate being called
A "Nigger" there is a difference between word that Uncle Tom dudes
Never can understand."Nigga" is a word for black unity but "Nigger" was
Created by the devils that brough the people over too America as slaves.
Nas aint even living even in Queens no more,
That nigga moved too Atlanta!!...he selled himself
As a slave for the commercial corporations for a buck of dollars.
Fuck dat nigga period & the lyrics biting,Iluminati
Jay-Z i can give fuck about them satanic worshippers fuck all dem niggaz.
Keep it real
y would u name your album nigger, its just stupid. try and be political by speaking about real issues, try and show that you are smart by saying something good, dont stir up controversy by using the word nigger, cause soon as somebody calls you one are mad. people need to just put this word to rest and stop saying it. it makes no sense to have a word that only black people can use and no one else. how about there were jobs, and sports, and foods that only white and spanish people could use? its 2008 real soon, put the word to rest.
ONLINEDOT you got a point about BLack unity, and NIGGER was created by the slave owners to make us feel as if we are less...but what you fail to realize is that NAS is trying to take the power away from the word NIGGER so when a white person tries to make me feel bad by calling me that it basically means nothing to me...
The only reason that word has power is because we GIVE it so much power, once we take it away the racist whites of the world will have to find a new way to bring us down...
BUT AS FAR AS NAS BEING JAY'S BITCH...AND JAY DESTROYING NAS ETC...
YOU MUST HAVE NEVER HEARD OF EITHER??? SOME CALL IT THE GREATEST DISS EVER...(CHECK THE REVIEWS)
you know mustache havin with wiskers like a rat COMPARED TO BEANS YOU WHACK!!!!!!!!!
GET REAL...
RONGATA IS BUGGIN FORREAL....READ MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS AND LEARN SOMETHING...
YOU CAN'T END SOMETHING BY PRETENDING IT NEVER HAPPENED DUDE...
YOU CAN'T "PUT IT TO REST" BY JUS IGNORING THE SITUATION...
YOU CAN'T RESOLVE A PROBLEM WITHOUT CONFRONTING IT...YOU CANT RUN ALL YOUR LIFE DUDE...
THE ONLY WAY THAT WORD WILL DIE IS IF WE TAKE THE POWER OF IT AND KILL IT ONCE AND FOR ALL...
how am i buggin? yo it is just plain stupid to think that you are gonna get anything positive out of calling an album nigger. and on top of that, WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE MAJORITY WHO BUY ALBUMS ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! so why the fuck would you name an album nigger so they can go no where near it, i like nas, but i think this may be the dumbest move of his career.
yea u cant just pretend like the word never meant anything, and still doesnt mean something.. but its true, the only reason it still has so much meaning today is cuz we let it have so much meaning.. i mean a dude tried to name is album nigger and look at all the shit people are saying cuz of it.. at the end of the day its a word, not an action, it cant actualy hurt people unless they let it. if u dont like it dont listen to the album. its your loss for real
he should give his explanation to the public because that's what it needs. people are going to continue to assume what he's trying to do until it comes out of his mouth. honestly, i understand that there's an exterior meaning to the naming of the album, but it's not smart to decide to name an album with the controversial word, "nigger," and not give a reasonable explanation to the public.
that's just asking for trouble from the media and news.
Definitely, naming the album Nigger without some deep reason is asking for trouble. He wants to make a statement and that's fine, but he needs to make a COMPLETE statement, not "Let me name the album 'Nigger' and let's see what happens."
And Rongata got it right, white people are the ones who mostly buy these albums. Somebody please tell me how much sense it's going to make when some black person inevitably gets mad at a white person for saying the word "Nigger," because he's asking about the album. This is stupid.
Nas should be more responsible. This is just going to send a HUGE mixed message to EVERYONE. Before, the peoples' consensus was , "Nigger is bad, Nigga is okay." But now this album is saying, "Nigga is good, Nigger is bad UNLESS..." What the f*** is that?
And to everyone who keeps saying 'Wait until it comes out before you judge it,' by then it's too late. Even if the message is actually good, NONE of you can honestly tell me that more people will learn from it than misunderstand it. The cons outweigh the goods of his decision. That alone tells you this is a bad idea.
Also, I honestly don't think that his message will be thoughtful enough to justify this. Come on, his last album was "Hip-Hop Is Dead" and did that album sound different enough to revive hip hop? Nope, it lyrically didn't sound revolutionary at all. He couldn't even top "Stillmatic." He can't meet his own expectations, so he sure as hell shouldn't be the one to do this.
If anyone could pull this off, it would be Lupe Fiasco, but only after he blows up, cause the mainstream hasn't caught on to him yet. Still, even that would be a bad idea.
Truly..Judge The Album After It Come Out Not B4...And How You Gone Tell Him He Shouldnt Use The Word....U USE IT EVERYDAY GENIUSES
1
Nas is probably calling it NIGGER for a good reason. I know the word may not be good for some but Nas always have a reason to do what he do. The songs are probably going to be calling me that word does no put me down or you are not that word, trust me if you are a Nas fan you have to expect revolution music with this album. If I was Nas I would name that album or the next one YOU HATE ME BECAUSE I AM BLACK AND RICH!
it'll come out one way or another
RONGATA HAS A GOOD POINT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT...I MEAN THE MAJORITY OF THE ALBUM SALES ARE TYPICALLY PEOPLE OF THE WHITE RACE IN MY OPINION...
BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO BE AS DUMB A MOVE AS PEOPLE THINK...I DON'T THINK HE'S DOING ANYTHING WITHOUT THINKING IT THRUOGH 110% YA KNOW...
MAYBE ITS A STRATEGY MOVE...WE'LL JUS HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE..
O.G. HAS A GOOD POINT...
All you cats saying that its a strategy move by Nas are obviously right. But thats the thing. All you people saying that you think the name is demeaning etc., its demeaning if you allow it to be....words are nothing if you allow them power...You people telling me you dont like it but something says youll still buy tha album...and after you hear it youll like, know why? Cause people tend to put their foot in their mouths in a lot of situations. And if it really is mostly white people buying CDs, thats the biggest problem with Hip Hop. I can guarantee that a high majority cant relate, but I know there are many that do...but hey, all Im saying is keep the faith...when the album drops then talk shit.
can't wait for the 1st single 2 drop
man they tryna shut ma nigga nas down 4real!,but 4 all u ppl talkin bout yall not fukin wit him or the album man me noughscrilla illseed an others been tryna tell yall but yall jus keep focusin on YA'LL feeling bout it not even knowin the reason NAS is doin it im a say this for the last time NAS ALWAYS DELIVERS A MESSAGE IN THE MUSIC i can see if he was glorifyin it or tellin ppl to call each other nigger but thats not the case listen to the album THEN say what u wnt im BUYING IT REGARDLESS......nas greatest rapper alive period thank you very much good day ppl
Interesting Topic... One Thing We Must Remember That This Is America People..And We All Know That There Is That Big Cntrvrsy Called "Freedom Of Speech". It Isnt The Fact That Nas Is Using The "N" Word For His Alubum, Its The Fact That He Is An African American Artist Whos Respected In Hip Hop.. So White America Use Something Like This To Show A Different Form Of Rasicm.. Here Rasicm Is Showed In The Form Of "Money"..In Lame Turns..Lets Show African Americans.... I'm Sorry "Black People" How Much Money And Power We Got By Taking Away Everything We Invested Into Recored Companies.. Its A Shame That Jesse Jackson Is Still A SLave In The MInd His Self By Siding With White America..W/O even Lestin To Nas Album.. And I Can Bet You That None Of The People Behind Those Desk Talking Crap Has Lestined To It Either..What We Must Remember Is That The "N" Word Is Almost Subliminal ,It Only Applies To You If You Fear It.. White People Fear The Word B.C Of The Past..Black People Use The Word To Heal The Past..To Show Other People That We Can Take This Word ANd USe It In So Many Ways That It Dosent Become Offensive Anymore... Now In Days Lets Be Honest If Someone WHite Called You The "N" Word An Intelligent Black Person Would Laugh In There Face Just To Show How Stupid They Look Using It In The Wrong Sence... But If Someone In The Hood Gets Called The "N" Word White America Has Taught Us How To React When We Here This Statment..They Taught Us To Take The Past And Apply It To The Present... I Say Keep The Name Of The Album The Same as Long As Its Going To Be A PWerful Message Behind It..O Yea..Check Out Some Of My Music www.myspace.com/Cristyle1212
Why does Nas gotta be so damn ignorant... He's always tryin to help the streets and all that shit and hu stubborn ass wanna call his album Nigger... its just ignorant. Its even offensive to white people in a way. Nas just contributing to the problem of blacks blaming all their hardships on their skin color and ultimately the reason why they dont do anything about shit and nothin gets better.... Nas is bein a real Nigger
