Defsounds

Can’t wait 2 hear this shit.

It’s Cool And All But It By Far Wouldn’t Have Tha Results It Woulda Had If It Was Released On An Album. At Least My Nigga NAS Can’t Be Stopped Though. And Yet Again Makes U Think Twice About It Not Being Able To Be On A Mainstream Album. Either Way As I Been Sayin Since Day 1. I’ma Give That Shyt Plenty Boom Tyme When I Ride Chill Drank Wuteva Tha Case Is…SCREAM AT ME,1..

Nas and DJ Green Lantern, heavy-hitting DJ with a heavy-hitting emcee:

Sounds like good shit to me

Goooooood shit.

But I wonder if this is gonna fuck up the release date of his LP, and if hes gonna stick with the same concept.

Either way it shall be fucking seriouss.

210 Stand Up

if N.W.A. had Niggaz in there album title why cant Nas?

sucka ass nigga

I can’t help but feel like hes just forcing the title now….I was under the impression that the whole point of the title was that it represented a theme for his album, and now, by just throwing it into a mixtape, Nasir really is just using it as a publicity stunt, and THAT ain’t hard to tell…payce….

either way his album gonna be worth buyin, regardless of the title…he’s a legend!

CO SIGN WITH B ROCK! YOUNG CATS DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!

dat’s good he wants to keep his views and still release the material…
but i think mixtape form is the wrong way to go if it’s going to be the same material as the album being that his brings in considerably less revenue off of an mixtape… maybe i misinterpeted the article….

IMA COP REGARDLESS THOUGH

THE NUGGA TAPE IS PROBALY BETTA THAN THE ALBUM.

who cares about the title its Nas

thats my NIGGER Nas.

Nas had to change the title of the album, if he wanted his vision to come out. The sad part is how much Def Jam has changed over the years. Russell, Rick and Lyor would have fought 4 their artists artistic right 2 express themselves. Def Jam is a pop label plain and simple. Who’s their biggest acts: Kanye West, Rihanna and Neyo. I feel bad for Nas. He left Columbia, and went into an worse situation. But u know the album is gonna be historic though.

fuk a mixtape congress dont give a fuk bout a mixtape dey giv a fuk bout a album in stores and shelves across america 4 da world 2 c

The nigga is a sellout for money..Fuck the money he’d lose by coming out with the album..Sell that shit in Mom and Pop’s or send out a street team is if it’s about the message…But it’s not it’s about money and trying not to burn them white bridges..Nas is in the crackaz back pocket just like the rest of them niggaz..Artist don’t change their art for critics..If it wasn’t about money then he’d release it point blank period..Nas is just another nigga using our struggles for personal gain..Just like after “Hip Hop is Dead” dropped he’ll go hide with his wifey and spend the money he’s gained off real nigga struggles..Don’t just talk about it be about it or shut the fuck up..That’s to any rapper, entertainer, street corner politician or whomever else..Niggaz talk way too much with little or no action..Where is this nigga when we really need him? i.e. Katrina, Sean Bell, Jena 6, or any other case involving the mistreatment of our people..That nigga is harder to find than Waldo during those times..I know he tried to pay for Sean Bell’s funeral..After he know that it had been taken care of why wasn’t he the one to put up the money for his kids education/trust fund?

This is a great move by Nas.

So basically he’s giving us the album still.

Whats funny is that some of you niggas are still in here bitching about it.

How come we dont know exactly why he changed the title

A month ago he said it was gon be Nigger no matter what.

And what happened to da shit about L.a. Reid backin him 100 percent?

So if Nas wanted that title and L.a. Reid said he was behind Nas all the way then how the fuck did we get here!

You can call a mixtape any fuckin thing u want! Middle america dont pay attention to mixtapes anyway!

And since when does Nas put out whole mixtapes?

What happened to the bold statement dat Nas was gonna make with this album title?

A mixtape dont have the same power as a studio album!

Nas didnt change his mind…somebody changed it for him!

looks like nas is gon have 2 find a new way 2 sell records…..i can imagine goin 2 a redneck store and askin 4 the nigger tape and dudes asks which one.

guarantee none of you poor mother fuckers buy this shit

I SAID

i’ve had enough of your blasphemic comments friend

Mixtape is gonna be fire. It is Nas that we are talking bout here.

this shit is gonna be fire still cant wait to hear the album though

Shit’ll be sick

from what i heard of ‘be a nigga too’ before i fell asleep halfway through it dont get yoru hopes up for this thrilla nas remdition of ’nigga this, nigga that, nigga who nigga he"

Can’t believe the hate Nas gettin’… A lot of y’all some two faced batman villian lookin’ niggaz. First muhfuckaz was saying he was dumb for naming the album Nigger, then you got all hyped about it and now that the name has been changed, y’all sayin’ its a bitch move? Double standards are a mothafucka…

Other than that, can’t wait for the tape… :D

Okkk. what ya’ll hatin ass flavor flav niggas talkin bout..nas is the hardest mc out talkn bout he a “Lil Bitch” the reason why he changed the cd name was because he was forced yu kno them white ppl were gonna say sumthin bout that album name c’mon noww..

Not knockin the next man hustle but don’t target and walmart sell chappelle’s show dvds as well as south park and other shit like that. Its fucked up how its allowed to be said and put out there when its derogatory or funny but when someone is trying to teach and(my thoughts about the album) try to get you to stop saying such a hateful word they wanna fucking protest and not sell it. What a fucked up system we live in. Tell you one thing they can’t stop the mixtape. Unless the Dj drama that nigga.

let this man do shit his way! you either will hate it or love it but its something different, im sick of the same shit!

that a be fucked up tha tape outsell his album

man tryed to put out da cd called nigger cam u think it a punk way to go out fuck that son he tryed they didnt let him at least he coming out wit somethin that has nigger in the title ima cop this shit nas a true nigger ya digggggggg

You know what? this album is gonna be different material from what anybody has ever did and alot of yall gonna hate it b/c its not gonna have hooks or crunk beats or dance tracks on it and then yall gonna come back on here and scream how much yall want real hip hop

ANYBODY name another rapper thats tryin to actually say somethin in there music besides nas its a damn shame a legend from the 90s is the only one

And yall dudes actin like he jesus he is a rapper stop expectin this dude to solve black problems hes just puttin the word out its up to yall to change ur own situations

Nas is that Nigga, fuck what you heard! I’m glad he found away to deliver us that title one way or another. The rec exects weren’t going to release no album titled ‘Nigger’, c’mon y’all,..are even surprised? This is why the Nas is album is key, that alone proves that Nigger is still a polarizing word. The Album will still cover racial inequality & injustice, like I said, the content is what matters. But the net kept buzin,…”why did he change the title?” or “why not put it out him self?” …listen don’t be a fuck boy b, Nas has bosses too, this wasn’t his choice. Just like Green Lat said Wal-mart & Target got power kid. Def Jam ain’t confortable with such a title, well Enter the Mix tape game. Now to all you cock suckaz sayin Nas has be exploiting Black people, needs a back hand straight up. Last I checked the same shit we go though (as blacks or minorities), he goes through them too. He’s affected by injustice, so why not speak on it since he has a platform & a fallowing. I mean it’s not like Justine Timberlake is saying anything about it,…so as a black man, nas has 100% right to comment on this Nigger shit.
Oh what he wasn’t down in Jena, LA or you didn’t hear from him in the aftermath of the Sean Bell Tragedy….so the fuck what? These are public shit that Al Sharps & Jessie Jax all get down with just for publicity,…Nas does his charity & social duties on the low, we don’t gota see or hear about it.
This Mix Tape will be aiiight,…but the ALBUM will be my shit, the Summer is gona be hot for all your favorite rappers,…

1st!!!!!!

@ Jadbeats

Nigga are you brain dead..Nas ain’t the only one saying something and I can think of 20 other rappers that ain’t selling their soul to do it..He talks a good game but he’s usually contradicting himself even in his own music in damn near 70% of his songs..He can’t make a song about black women without talking about how they love his style and how he got them sucking him off and all kind of shit..How in the hell do you combine Oochie Wallie and Keep your head up? That nigga is lost..Bottom line is if you are going to talk shit and tell us what we need to do then lead by example if not shut the fuck up..Stop being a clown and learn to think for yourself..It’s a lot of black people that spoke up and carried the cause that weren’t Jesus..He put them shoes on so he should wear them..I don’t care how many classic cd’s, verses or any of that bullshit he’s put out..Show me your a man of your words but he can’t do that because he’s always been about talking about shit he hadn’t lived..This ain’t about rap homie..This is real life and we are at war..We don’t need more bullshit politicians..We need niggaz that are going to lead not just talk..It’s enough of y’all niggaz online talking without any action..

man fuk every1 who was wishin 4 da title change fuk u and ur kids mayne kuz we kould have had sumthin 2 change da world but who knows it could have been 4 da better or worse

yo whats goin on here i cussed jokesta out in a couple of posts. i expected to be banned when i came back but i got props instead? by the way jokesta you a lil bitch by the way a sex change aint gon make you a man nigga i know what yo faggot ass really is bitch.

@GawgaBwoy770 dude this is music last time i checked nas wasnt tryin to change the world this nigga aint got the right answers im a hood nigga and i realize our problems nigga but i couldnt tell you where to start fixin them so to expect a rapper to live up to all that shit you talkin is crazy yo and look up all the singles on this site and name 10 of them that has a song on here that actually means something the only thing i agree with you on is yea he contradicts himself in his music but in his defence what rapper or singer doesnt? its music name 1 rapper that doesnt do that nigga tupac is the all time great at contradiction but to me its better than have 100% bullshit and homie this is about music you cant find any black ppl now an days protestin shit b/c at the end of the day its worthless i bet yo ass aint out there doin a damn thing

You don’t know what I have or haven’t done..But in response to your statement i’m mentored kids and spent time at elderly homes helping them..It’s not about doing all the things that Nas is capable of doing because of course I don’t have the resources..But to go in on the point you made about this just being music that’s the biggest bunch of bullshit i’ve ever heard and I wish niggaz would learn some history on this shit…Since Day muthufuckin 1 music was not just about a melody and words..Go back and learn how the blues, jazz, hip hop and other forms of music we created originated from..It didn’t just start with niggaz wanting to dance or have some shit to listen to..The younger generation think that ignorant shit and that’s what them crackaz want y’all to believe..I could give you a lot of reasons why it ain’t just music..Look at the way niggaz dress, talk, act and everything else where your from and everywhere else..This music is a means to pass on messages and it creates a thought process when you listen to it over and over again…This shit ain’t as simple as y’all niggaz think..Why do you think them crackaz got they hands in the industry so much? Because it’s just music? Hell naw….I could also think of a lot of rappers that do much more than Nas with less resources..I could also give you the history on the musicians that played a part in the Civil Rights movement..They lost out on white fans, concerts and other things but they had principles..Not just trying to be attention whores for record sales..As far as Pac goes he didn’t contradict himself..He gave a different view and that’s why he split the songs up to explain his points..i.e. “Keep ya head up” vs “Wonder why they call you bitch”..Both were relevant and needed and they both served their purpose..Now show me how he was the all time great..It’s different people he described so of course he’s going to give different views..That was game but saying some shit about your African Queen at the beginning of the sentence and then talking about her sucking you off at the end is way different homie..Pac never bragged about the material shit he had..He wasn’t that kind of nigga..Nas is..He still want you to know how fly he is and blah, blah, blah..I dig some of his shit but I can’t get down with all of it..Illmatic and the Lost Tapes are my favorite Nas cd’s..But the reason you can’t tell us how to fix the problems bc just like the rest of us you’re in the middle of the storm, Nas ain’t..All i’m saying if the nigga cared so much he’d do more..Give me 20% of his money and I bet i’d have all kinds of shit going on to change the way our people are treated..I’m not like the rest of these fake ass niggaz that just talk the talk..Innocent niggaz getting killed left and right by the police, the disparity in sentences with white vs black, and so on..I can’t do shit from where i’m at but a nigga like that with influence could use it to cause change not just create controversy..You keep believing this nigga is really for the cause and you’ll see when his next cd drops..He’s running out of controversial titles but i’m sure he got a few more left..I could care less about the name of his album..I want to see some action behind all that damn talking period..Jay even called the nigga out when they was beefing about this shit..Nigga always giving opinions but where’s Waldo when the shit hits the fan? Stop trying to protect these rappers that don’t give a fuck about you..Nas ain’t Pac and he wouldn’t jump out his limo to help if he see you getting your ass whooped..That nigga would keep on rolling..Trust me on that..The problem with the younger generation is they tried to replace Jay with Big and Nas with Pac and neither one them niggaz could ever be Pac or Big..Nas don’t have the heart and Jay ain’t as humble as Big was..Both of them niggaz was really about the niggaz in the streetz..These niggaz are corporate rappers..Niggaz rapping about cracka this and cracka that but giving them same crackaz jobs that they could give to their people..Them same niggaz hanging with the crackaz that got their throats on our necks..Tell people like Ray Charles, James Brown, Dick Gregory, Bill Cosby and others that jeopardized their career for the cause that it’s only entertainment..The reason you can’t find any niggaz protesting or doing shit is because we are a race full of cowards..We’ll kill, rape and harm each other but we ain’t crossing them tracks doing all that shit in masters neighborhood..A race of fucking cowards who entertainers accept money to keep their mouth shut about the problems their people face..It take a weak ass nigga like Kanye to say something while all these so called gangster are bitchin up..Music and entertainment has always been a reflection of our lives because thats how it was created..Again, it’s never just music pimpin..It’s just music to the deaf and dumb…

Iceberg

You made a lot of valid points but to say Nas or any other entertainer couldn’t lead more by actively partaking in the struggle is ridiculous…It ain’t about him doing everybody else part..I wouldn’t take this much of a stand just to release a cd and hide..That ain’t in me pimpin..If i’m going to say something i’m going to ride with my word until it ain’t no more heartbeats left..I ain’t saying Nas should be MLK, Malcolm, or any of the sort but he needs to do something more than talk..The same niggaz he criticized with “Hip Hop is Dead” do more in their community than the nigga thats supposedly passing us this great message..I think that’s ass backwards..All these lesser known artists doing their parts it’s the majority of the cowards that got mass appeal that ain’t doing theirs..I don’t want them to be something their not but they need to stop pretending like that’s what they about too..Niggaz on the lowest level who really need the assistance and unity ain’t getting it..Words can’t help a nigga when cops shooting at him, he hustling bc them crackaz won’t give him a job bc of his past history and his kids got to eat, or the innocent brothaz getting jammed up in the sentence unjustly..They need actions..Words can’t help the ones that need the most help, which makes up the majority of our people..We need people to bring unity and try and get us together for the cause..I know Jesse and Al got their motives, which is money and attention..Those are two things these entertainers already have..They have no excuse except they don’t care enough bc they aren’t living with these issues…The difference between back then and now is we don’t make the artists..Our artists make us nowadays..Too many real niggaz following cowards and pussy’s bc they got money..Niggaz are selling themselves cheap for all the wrong reasons…

Now if I saw two white boyz whooping on your ass and i’m riding by you best believe they better pull out badges or guns or all of us are going to be scrapping mufuckas and thats on everything…I ain’t calling you out but that’s the same coward mentality that got us in this bullshit…If me and you whooping a white boy and some crackaz drive by you best believe they jumping out..We carry ourselves like we so hard and gangsta but it’s only against each other..That’s just like a nigga getting fucked over at work and come home and take it out on his family bc he too shook to put that cracka in his place..Why beat and mistreat your wife and kids bc your master fucked with you at work? You know shit like this happens all the time..We don’t cross them tracks to start problems we rather take the coward way out and rob, kill, rape ane all that in our neighborhoods…Why rob your brother of his peanuts when he got paid by the same white boyz that paid you? Go rob them mufuckaz but we ain’t doing that…Why? Bc of the coward mentality and self hate that they’ve put in us..They got us acting like ho’z fighting for their man..But we the pimps and players, right?

But it ain’t all on Nas but we didn’t make Nas put on them shoes either..He picked them himself…I know we have to take accountability ourselves but we don’t have the means period..But just like everyone else that picked them shoes he had a choice..I already knew about the Martin situation but the flip side to that is J.Edgar Hoover/FBI and JFK had MLK in their back pockets and they had puppet strings on him..MLK didn’t understand the fact that we knew he was human..He chose to keep that shit hidden instead of being a man about it and it cost us all..Go read up on why Malcolm had problems with him..He was willing to hide his secret and follow the same mufuckas game plan that were controlling us anyway..He turned into a middle man before his death..Why do you think the crackaz glorify him so much? Any black man that white people back too much be weary of them…i.e. Barack Obama..They are supporting them for a reason and it ain’t equality…But I wasn’t judging Nas for his personal life bc we all know he’s a sucker for love and all that..It’s about what he’s doing which is only about controversy..Read up on Pac and see what movements he was starting before he passed..He was trying to get into politics and start a movement..It wasn’t just words or a cd…Anybody can say the right things but a real nigga will back them words up..Think about it..I’m sure you just like me have told females whatever to fuck..Nas will tell you whatever to sell cd’s..Trust me on that..I don’t care what stores wouldn’t carry NIGGA if he would’ve released it he could of went platinum on the streets with a street team…Because real niggaz would’ve saw he was serious and this wasn’t just publicity..They would’ve followed the actual movement..Now this is only a cd just like “Hip Hop is Dead” was..It came and it went..Has hip hop changed for the better since then? Hell naw..Why? Bc it was just a cd..Nothing that was capable of changing people state of mind…That’s why if you’re so concerned you start a movement or you take the opportunity to make an intelligent point when you’re asked about the situation…Nas didn’t make any intelligent points when asked and he ain’t starting a movement…Why hasn’t he used his voice to really attack certain issues? He’s just throwing random things out there..Nothing gets corrected by telling us about the problems we already knew existed..With all the money this man got he don’t even have a foundation to help the kids from his old neighborhood or anything..He shoots a few dollars through Chris Webbers foundation but that’s it..These athletes and other rappers ain’t just talking..They are actually doing and that’s what I think he should do..His words ain’t enough because he’s not a prophet plus he ain’t saying shit we didn’t already know..He don’t give his time nor money the way he should if he’s about the cause like that…As a matter of fact he was hating on all the bubblegum rappers but them same niggaz do more in their communities with less than him..So, who’s really wrong at the end of the day? The nigga that provides the wrong message and makes it up by doing things for his community or the nigga that provides the right message but is nowhere to be seen after the message is put out and don’t do shit? Who you riding with?

@GawgaBwoy770

i feel you on all that i actually agree with most of it music was made from african drum patterns and chants around fires to worship or praise then it became about what the white man can get from it when they realized our talents in america so when i say its just music thats what i mean b/c they dont care what nas says the only reason they wouldnt let him use that tittle is b/c they fear the whites wont buy it this shit would be great if rappers had the money to put their own albums out without record labels censoring them, on the matter if nas uses his titles for contravery or not i dont think he does b/c were the ones that make a big deal out of them and that hip hop is dead album was really saying what everybody was saying already niggas got it twisted hip hop is dead rap is alive

@ Da God

Listen to what i’m telling you brotha pertaining to that whole situation..I guaruntee I know more history on Barack than you do..I ain’t saying he’s not worthy of our support..I’m telling you plain and simple if he’s in their pocket he’s got their agenda at hand and he’s in their back pocket to some extent..I’ve been to his former pastor’s church and Rev. Wright is the truth period..That’s who we should be following..The more this campaign goes on the more he proves to be a sellout..Hillary supporters can talk about killing him on tv but he distances himself any time race becomes an issue while they attack him on the same issue..Also, he’s not an american born black man..His mother was white, his father was African..He didn’t even really know his father..He didn’t know shit about our culture until he came to Chicago..He’s also 3rd cousins with the Vice President..Read into shit pimpin and stop ignoring what’s in front of your face..Every man that’s black ain’t black inside..I’m not saying he is or ain’t for us but one thing I do know is he didn’t even spend most of his time in the states growing up..He wanted to be black so bad he came to one of the worse cities for blacks and one of the worse areas in the city..I know bc i’m from the Southside and my sister’s grandmother lived in one of the housing projects he worked in..I’ve never met him but somethings fishy about that guy…I can’t put my finger on it and i’ll still support him over Hillary and McCain but i’m going to keep my eyes open..I didn’t particularly care for his comments on the Sean Bell incident either..He threw an innocent dead man under the bus because he was worried about his white supporters..When did it stop being okay to speak your mind if something is wrong? Take away his color and he don’t have many similarities to us..Not the culture, heritage or any of that..His mother remarried and he grew up in Hawaii and I think Guam if not mistaken..But I read into a lot of things so I won’t be just another nigga voting for him because he’s black… Don’t forget other brothaz helped the white men enslave our people that were brought here..Just because he black don’t mean he for us period..He’s not earning our support..He’s earning them white folks support with money raised and donated by black people while continually avoiding situations that affect us..When is he going to single us out and talk about the disparities and stop talking about America as a whole? We know what he’s going to do as President but what is he going to do for us..Bill Clinton told us before we elected him..Clinton earned our support but we’d vote a mixed nigga with a white mother in just bc of his color..By the way, Clinton was never for us either..He was involved in the Iran Contra situation with Bush and Reagan..Why do you think he’s in the Bush family back pocket? Same reason the rest of these mufuckas are..

Nas is living but Pac is worth more to black people dead or alive than Nas will ever be and that’s on everything..Nas has always been about living some bullshit ass life..His whole catalogue is other niggaz lives..Go back and check your history..I’ve never heard a nigga from NY say Nas was this or that..His brother Jungle may have been a rider but Nas ain’t live the majority of the shit he talked about..This nigga wanted to be an intelligent street nigga the first album, from the second album on he’s make his conscious songs but even in those songs he talks a lot of Mob type talk and he’s not affiliated nor do they even like us unless they making money off of us..Pac lived most of what he was talking about..Remember Pac was a smart dude that got caught with the situation he was in because of his mothers problems..10 out of 10 niggaz acting out in rage are doing it because of built up anger from family situations…I do agree Suge had a battery on his back but where did all the niggaz Pac looked out for go when he needed them? He made that deal with the devil and he shouldn’t have even been in that situation bc the nigga didn’t even rape that chick..His boyz did and the courts threw the book at him because of who he was and he had just shot them off duty Atl police officers around the same time..Of course them crackaz wanted his ass and deep down I still feel the govt had something to do with his death..Them jumping on that dude was just an alibi..But you don’t know why the situation took place and if a nigga deserve to get they ass beat for doing something foul then so be it..That don’t mean we can’t be unified..That just mean we don’t unite with shiesty or shady niggaz..Just bc I whoop a brotha ass don’t mean I don’t love my people..You got it all wrong pimpin..Unified or not niggaz are still going to get checked..But bitch niggaz run to guns that’s the difference..So that’s no contradiction pimpin..It’s just real life..

I didn’t say Pac would’ve helped me out but he did help out another brotha he didn’t know and beat a rap on shooting cops for helping the brotha so you tell me..Now, would you have done it? Where’s your heart at? Are you a coward or man? I stand up for what’s right…I wouldn’t let a nigga beat on a chick in front of me..Why? Because that’s a coward move not to do something bc that’s an unfair fight and if the nigga want to fight then he can fight another man..If Nas ain’t even giving his time and barely donating money why in the fuck would I think this nigga would help in that situation? Pac wasn’t scared to be around his people..Nasir Jones is..He’s been hiding the whole time he’s been out..Drop a cd..Hide..Drop a cd..Hide..Nas could’ve helped a lot of good rappers out of QB get on..They were on in his circle..Why didn’t he? I do see a nigga actions so I can speak on it..You need to stop making excuses for Nas and let him stand like a man on his words..

Last but not least..If a chick said she was all about you and you gave her money and had her looking right and all that but at the same time she’s taking your money spending it and catering to the next nigga, are you going to keep supporting her? If not there’s your reason why Barack shouldn’t have too much of our trust..Who is he catering to? Who benefits off the issues he’s addressing? Think about it…We always getting pimped but swear we got so much game..I don’t get it..This is psychological warfare and if you ain’t never ran game to that extent you’ll never know when it’s being ran on you…The same ones were played by Clinton..Just remember that..Some niggaz still going around praising him like an idiot…Think about why the white folks with money are supporting Barack…It ain’t poor white folks supporting him..It’s lower and middle class niggaz supporting him who really don’t have the means..We need to stop looking for a Savior and falling for all these niggaz bullshit..i.e. Nas, Jay, Barack, Al, Jesse and whoever the fuck else..All these niggaz got one agenda..Money…

@ Ice

Nas nor Jay will ever be leaders except in an indirect way..They will lead more by example than anything else..Jay could handle the pressure but Nas can’t and never has..He have a problem with being on the spot..Plus he don’t articulate a lot of his points too good..I dig him don’t get me wrong but I know he’s not going to back all this shit up..Real talk “Lost Tapes” is one of my favorite cd’s because I think is was more the real Nas..He gave more insight on himself..It’s a reason those tapes were lost…I agree he had niggaz thinking when the last cd dropped but it was more negative energy than anything and nothing really got resolved in my opinion..It’s been a hell of a lot more bubblegum artists, more vets sold their soul for the money and so did he by signing to Def Jam in the first place..But i’ll sit back and see what he does..I am feeling that last single he dropped..I just want some sort of action behind it..But let’s look at it like this..He’s dropping that mixtape as a cd and selling it..Who’s getting the money? He don’t need it so he should go ahead and donate it to a cause…Lets see what happens..

@ Jad

I agree with everything you said but I got a question…Do you think Nas don’t have the means to put out his own album? Of course he do..I think he should release it just to spite them or I wouldn’t have been made if he flipped it around like NWA did but don’t let the people who you are supposedly fighting continue to control you..He lost in this situation to me..

this is my only argument with what you said and this goes for all rappers i only judge these dudes based on what they say in there songs b/c i dont know them personally and every rapper raps from a point of view of being the best,hardest,toughest and so on….rappers get attention when its something negative around them but they are never mentioned when it comes to them doing good shit like charity work or giving to the poor b/c even though i dont like david banners music i will say this nigga giveafuck about his ppl even t.i. but other than that i dont know what these rappers are outside of music i just know there always someone thats gonna discredit where your from and now that you got money its where you dont be anymore just like shawty lo doin t.i. now sayin he aint from bankhead and personally im a producer and i got niggas in my city sayin the never seen me in the streets or the niggas i run with and i know if i blow up i wont be able to go back to my hood like i want to and help out b/c of grimey niggas hatin or wantin money they would do bad with..on the helpin rappers out from qb i feel you on that cuz i grew up on ny music and im from nc but i know alot of qb niggas that rapped with nas that was hott i remember when nas called all them niggas out on the radio years back capone-n-nore,cam,cormega,nature and nobody listend now where them niggas at? but honestly i dont think nas has ever had the money to put other dudes on like he could have his ill will shit didnt go so good but i was amazed to find out hes worth about 30 mill but i def think he could have been worth way more with jays ambition

true that would have been a better rout for nas i do agree he dont think shit through or take the right way i think all rappers should take a note from these southern rappers on how to hustle they music fuck these label they need distribution deals like jeezy did badboy and ross did def jam fuck these 5 year contracts

Sharpton had no influence on me changing the title," he asserted. “Hip-hop has caught a lot of heat this last year from our so-called black leaders. We have a lot of enemies from these so-called leaders and they go to these corporations and extort the record labels.”

“These [leaders] have no way of making money and they’re mad we’re making a lot of money off of sh*t we sell in the streets,” he continued, “There’s no more outspoken or political rappers. It ain’t far fetched on us, but the old generation frowns on us. The [Bill]Cosby’s and Sharpton’s they’re scared that hip-hop n*gga’s are on the way up and the so-called leaders play the tap dance roll because of that.”

In the end, the politically charged emcee explained the reason for initially naming the album the N-word.

“I ain’t Farrakhan and I ain’t trying to be him,” Nas confessed. “I like pissing people off and stir stupid n*ggas. If you ain’t putting your career on the line, it ain’t safe no more… My pops told me, ’don’t underestimate intelligent people. Dumb n*ggas will get it, too’!”

GawgaBwoy, I understand where you coming from my man, but I gotta disagree wit you on the Pac and barrack issue. How does Barrack keep running from the issue of race?? Did you not see the Philly convention speech he had?? He welcomes that debate every time Hillary’s dirty ass camp brings shit up about his race and religion.

With the Pac issue, you gotta understand that I love Pac’s music he’s one of the best ever and easily the most influential ever. I just don’t understand how this nigga almost became God-like after he died. Most of his fans was in diapers when he was really alive. He said many times in many interviews that “this is not my real life, this is not how my life is supposed to be”. People that grew up wit Pac said he changed. He tried to sell drugs but was horrible at it so he gave it up. He wasn’t “Mr. Tough Guy” growing up, matter fact he was known for getting his ass whooped a lot because of his big mouth. There’s several different stories about Pac getting bodied on several different occasions in New Jersey and the east coast area. He said many times that his beefs and things of that nature were competition, he always bragged about selling more than the next guy. You gotta understand that Pac was a very socially conscious dude when he first came out, (his first CD was damn near nothing but socially conscious shit), as his career progressed, he fell back from that and went more to the mainstream level of things making popular records. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that but it’s not like Pac was “fighting the man” his whole career. Reality is Pac did what he had to do to get money. It’s not like Nas, Jay, etc… are the only ones wanting money. You act like Pac wanted to rap for free. NO! he wanted money just like any other rapper, hence him switching his style up (from strictly socially conscious) to more of a mainstream level as his career progressed. Also Pac early in his career used to call out black people (like Oprah, Eddie Murphy, Qunicy Jones etc..) for not doing enough for the community. Then out his own mouth he said he didn’t really mean to say all that, he was just trying to be “cute” in other words get attention. He said that out his own mouth fam.

Listen I like Pac alot, I just don’t like when niggas put Pac on the same level as Jesus.lol He wasn’t a God, he was a regular nigga from the slums that made it out because of talent. He (like any human being) made some mistakes and did some dumb shit that eventually got him killed. My point in all this is, lets not put people on pedal stools, don’t look up to people, look up to God.

Peace

@Da God

As far as Barack goes he’s a hypocrite and traitor when it comes to his religion and as far as his race goes i’ve never seen him really address the issues in our community..When people that do address these issues that are close to him he distances himself from them..I don’t care how Hillary brings it up..That just makes me lose respect for her..I care more about what he says and in this case don’t say about the issues that affect the people that are giving him the majority of his support..

Now on the Pac issue..It ain’t no man perfect walking this earth and we also have to understand Pac was only 25 years old when he died..In those 25 years he did more than 98% of the rappers that ever touched a mic..I’m not a youngin cuz..I’m 29 years old so I know what’s what..I know he contradicted himself and did a lot of wild things but so have you and me..If me or you were jugded for the things we did for that short of period and that was our legacy i guaruntee it would be filled with some good and bad but a lot of it would be filled with immaturity and youth..Pac was wise beyond his years..He’s not God-like to me but Pac was truly one of the special people that God gives us..We as a people exploited him and his talents..When he was all about the people no women called him attractive and no niggaz followed him the way they did later on..What changed that? Him having that I don’t give a fuck attitude..We lost in that situation not him..He had his destiny but we could’ve controlled by giving more support when he was all about doing the right thing..Look at how things are now..Niggaz that got something to say don’t get heard while the so called d-boys, drug abusers and everything else get all the spotlight..We are too weak to stand up for what’s right but we’ll follow fools in a minute…

Pac switched his style up because just like you and me he grew and things around him changed..You can’t always have a positive attitude about everything and to tell you the truth the majority of his music was conscious except when it pertained to his beefs and the majority of those were legit..Just because you are conscious don’t mean you can’t stand up for yourself..It was a lot of bullshit going on around him and he addressed it..We all know his lyrics changed but so did his enemies and environment so that’s understandable..But I get your point about putting people on pedestals but you have to understand that God put special people on this earth with the ability to lead and guide…Problem is we follow money more than we follow reason, morality and values…Just like it was special people before Pac there will be more to follow but the way we are going it won’t any difference to us because we’ll keep following fools for money and that’ll continue to blind us from seeing the truth that some people speak..One other thing the govt wasn’t following Pac for no reason..They knew the power he had..It’s a reason his poems and music are studied here and abroad..You can’t go to another continent and people don’t know who Pac was..He had the ability to bring black and white people together even while speaking the truth..That’s real power and it was dangerous power..

The title “Nigger” has the desired publicity effect. Do you ever remember any of Nas’ previous albums getting so much publicity before?

Nas is intelligent and articulate. He knew from the off that the album title will stir controversy even amongst those who don’t listen to hip-hop. That gave him unprecedented new coverage and marketing.

While the title was changed for mainstream distribution, the content remained the same. As always, I expect Nas to deliver a super tight album that deals with relevant issues faced by the broader community.

That’s hip hop. Spread the word and create awareness.

Honestly.. and not to stomp on his artistic vision.. but sometimes you just gotta realize when shit is just gon bring you more problems than profit. I mean damn, nigga.. you gon name your album nigga? White folk gon be gettin beat up every day.. askin somebody to borrow that shit..


But all jokes aside.. the album change was a neccessary move.. when you got the label telling you the shit ain’t comin out and they tell it to you PUBLICLY.. then, i mean.. what you gon do? but like Roland said.. the man has alot of people talkin about this album.. and it’s the same album with a different name.. so maybe he did the right thing after all.
