Fox "News" is full of shit, Jesse Jackson is a hater, and Nas isn't calling his new album Nigga. He's calling it Nigger. Word to Richard Pryor.
Following their awesomely Bras Eyeian NAS MURDER OUTRAGE piece the other day, Foxnews.com released a statement claiming to be from a "source" inside Nas' label, Def Jam, claiming they were in no way going to release an album called Nigga, and Nas didn't have an album coming out anyway, apart from his Greatest Hits.
Adding to the attack, ambulance chasing puppet-of-the-white-devils Jesse Jackson whined, "I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade."
"It's now called Nigger," said Nas, speaking to MTV, "and it is set to hit stores December 11... I don't know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam. None of us knows where that came from."
Ur, the ever active and supremacist Fox "news" imagination, mayhap?
"I'm a street disciple," said Nas. "I'm talking to the streets. Stay out of our business. You ain't got no business worrying about what the word ‘nigger' is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me. Whether you in the NAACP or you Jesse Jackson. I respect all of them. I just want them to know: Never fall victim to Fox. Never victim to shit they do. What they do is try to hurry up and get you on the phone and try to get you to talk about something you might not know about yet."
"If Cornell West was making an album called ‘Nigger', they would know he's got something intellectual to say," Nas continued. "To think I'm gonna say something that's not intellectual is calling me a nigger, and to be called a nigger by Jesse Jackson and the NAACP is counterproductive, counter-revolutionary."
"I wanna make the word easy on muthafuckas ears. You see how white boys ain't mad at 'cracker' 'cause it don't have the same [sting] as 'nigger'? I want 'nigger' to have less meaning than 'cracker.' With all the bullshit that's going on in the world, racism is at its peak. I wanna do the shit that's not being done. I wanna be the artist who ain't out. I wanna make the music I wanna hear ... We're taking power from the word."
What power there is to be taken won't be helped much by TPTB - the album with have minimal marketing, not that Nas minds - he says he just wants the music out there.
"You can't wait till everybody is ready. I used to wait. Now I have that shit in me ... where it is, what it is, buy it or don't but it, it's cool. Whoever likes it, cool. Whoever don't like it, cool ... but it's gotta come out now. This ‘Nigger' album is bigger than an album. This is for my daughter, when she looks back and sees all the chump niggas in the game, she'll say, ‘My pops was a man.' When I have more kids, they'll see, "He was a man.' That will inspire them to be real in their life. Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper ... it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do."
Nigger will be out a week before Weezy's LP, on December 11th. Production comes from Salaam Remi, Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, and DJ Toomp.
