Video: Nas - Be a Nigger Too

Nas dropped the Rik Cordero directed video for his “controversial,” song titled “I’m a nigger too.” I put controversial in quotes because I still don’t know why people are so worked up over this. I think the song is good, and even if Nas’ album sucks (which it may, if all the songs sound like his first single Hero), it has at least ignited an interesting and much needed discussion.

Having that said, I don’t think the video is anything special. What do y’all think?

Nas is a Nigger No More

So I’ve been out of town for the past 5 days, so I’m slowly catching up on music news from the blogs and such (da Beach was off the chain, I’ll post about that later). Anyway, I’m hearing that Def Jam changed the title of his album from Nigger to simply…Nas.

Is anybody really surprised??

I was never for or against the title. I was giving Nas the benefit of the doubt that he would drop a game changing political rap album, especially in light of the Jena 6, Sean Bell other infringements against the Black community. But lets face it, Def Jam is a business and no major chain was going to stock this album with that title. I’m reading some blogs now that are giving Nas a hard time for letting Def Jam have its way. But when it comes to having an album released or letting it sit on a shelf, what are you going to do?

The dude should’ve just released a mixtape and called it a day.

Hip-Hop

Nas - Be a Nigger Too

Nas - Be a Nigger Too

I don’t know if this is the first track off of Nas’ upcoming album, Nigger (highly unlikely), but it does seem like Nasir is bringing the pain with this one.
