The album Nigger originally expected to be called 'Nigga' and released on December 11, 2007, has been pushed back to February 2008.
There has been a lot of controversy over the album's title, but Nas has a lot of support behind him. L.A. Reid, chairman of Def Jam, is supporting Nas despite the fact that many politicians and public speakers are against it. According to MTV News, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Rev Run, Russell Simmons, and 50 Cent are all supporting the title of the album and state that Nas is intelligent and wants people to pay attention.
With all of this hype the album better be all that he's making it up to be. It should address all the racism issues that are coming up and have been swept under the rug. I hope that somehow Nas can go back to his Illmatic and Stillmatic days.
