Def Jam To Drop Nas
by on January 24th, 2008
According to reports, Nas's refusal to change the name of his forthcoming album, "Nigger," may lead to him getting dropped from the label.
"There is no
way that we can put out an album with that title. Many retailers have
already told us - flat out - that they won't carry [an album with that
title] ... Nas' last album [Hip Hop Is Dead] sold pretty well, but not
well enough for the headache he's causing [the label]." A source reportedly told Hip Hop Game.
"If Nas doesn't change his mind, he'll be dropped. And he doesn't have to much time to come to that realization." He continued.
Contradicting rumors however, in October of 2007, Def Jam Chairman, Antonio "L.A." Reid said that they were supporting Nas 100%.
“We support everything our artists do, everything! We stand firmly behind and beside our artists with pride and with pleasure.” Reid tells MTV.
“Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him. Nas is prolific, he’s prophetic, he’s a genius, an amazing artist of respect. So, while I’m not sure exactly all that the title entails, I know it’s smart, so I stand behind him. That’s real.”



























You think i want non blakcs coming at me with whats up nigger, fuck that.
And then they wud find any excuse to use the fucking word, ‘that nigger is hot’ ‘I got my nigger here’
Too much history behind the word for nas to use it for a publicity sunt to sell albums. Should know better for someone whos supposed to be so smart, dick head
Who said the shit he makes is hip hop. Y the Fuck he wanna make a album called nigger anyway. Once again, FUCK NAS. A texas nigga said that.

That Pretty Much Sums It Up Right There

ReDef.

210 Stand Up.
Also for his lack of attention to “smaller” artists… again…BULLSHIT!
Jay hooked Nas up with a beautiufl $10 Million contract. If DefJam wants to drop him…fine…as long as they could pay him…oh fuckin’ well.
Shit he could just go to Koch and get bread…his fanbase will follow!
DefJam is a done deal for the most part anyways. Who gives a fuck what they say, want or do. They’re only hurting themselves.
Can’t wait for the album! Also for anyone to sell 300,000 copies the first week…I CAN’T call that a flop!
That’s a pretty decent opening week now a days!
~Be Eazy!
Nas not signing with Aftermath in my eyes was a great thing!
I mean shit… look at Aftermath NOW! Look at all of the artists that got fucked over signing with them.
I’m glad Nas didn’t make that move…it kept him from being fucked over… plus he made $10 MILLION fuckin with Hov!
~Be Eazy!
~Be Eazy!
Yall blow shit waaaaay outta proportion. Like Nas’s cd is gonna single-handedly (always wanted to use that phrase) bring back segregation and racism!
NEWSFLASH!!!!!! It NEVER left!!!!
~Be Eazy!
nas?
Now a days… especially with this brainwashed generation of kids… and muthafuckas that either are to doumb or too hood to care…
NIGGER… has none of the power it used to have!
~Be Eazy!
Just bring it out…DON’T Lil’ Wayne us!!!
~Be Eazy!
…and nas better not change the title. how they gonna tell a NIGGA he cant use the word?…i mean muthafuckas of evry race use it off the record, dont get mad when a rapper uses it on record. keep it official.

he doesent get dropped

Like somebody said before, Def Jam needs Nas WAYYYYYY more that Nas needs Def Jam. Homie’s been moving units well before he was on Def Jam. It’ll be a big mistake on LA Reid’s part if this is true.
Fuckin dummies.
Dont assume that nas is all about publicity to sell albums. You little young dumb niggas owe nas for standing up for your ignint asses. His records dont earn plaques because they’re hyped. His records are fucking jewels. This is way bigger than publicity. If they dont allow him to release this record than they are violating his right to the first ammendment. Instead of criticizing him you lil niggas should cop his first 2 albums and find out where your favorite rappers got their whole style from.
fuck def jam if the actually plan to drop one of their best artists 4 speakin his mind
i mean the word nigga aint goin nowhere 4 a very fuckin long time, unless they start SHOOTIN niggaz on the street 4 using the word (which aint ever gonna happen)…so they better push out the album
