Def Jam Supports While 50 Cent Disses Nas Album Title


L.A. Reid recently revealed his stance on Nas' controversially titled LP Nigger. It may surprise you.
While some reports claimed that Reid was against the album title and would not release it, Reid himself dispelled those comments.
"We stand firmly behind and beside our artists with pride and with pleasure. 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," he told MTV.
Nas has received support from others as well. Rapper/actor Common added his two cents as he showed support at the premier to American Gangster.
"Nas is always bringing something new, bringing something for us to think about. He's one of the best ever. If it wasn't for Nas, a lot of cats, including myself, wouldn't be rhyming the way they do. So I mean, I know [the title] is something behind what he's doing, he's making statements. That's something we need in hip-hop. Last Poets did it, Gil Scott-Heron did it, Marvin Gaye did it. We gotta keep making statements," said Common.
Some have not been as supportive. Al Sharpton voiced his concerns and complaints.
"We're in an age where they are hanging nooses. They're locking our kids up in Jena and Florida. We do not need to be degrading ourselves. We get degraded enough. I think we need artists to lift us up, not lock us down."
50 Cent concurs.
"Nas sucks," he said. "It's nonsense, man. That's a stupid name. It doesn't make sense. Why would you title it that?"

More Fallout From The Upcoming Nas Album



New York State Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries (D-57 District) has demanded that the New York Comptroller withdraw the $84 million state pension fund invested in Universal Music Group and its parent company Vivendi if Nas is allowed to release his new album under the title N****r.
The withdrawal is part of the "Abolish The N-Word" initiative lead by Jeffries and Rev. Clinton M. Miller of Brooklyn's Brown Memorial Baptist Church. The idea has also been supported by the likes of the National Action Network's Rev. Al Sharpton and N.Y. State Senator Antoine Thompson (D-60th District).
"Enough is enough," said Assemblyman Jeffries. "It is time for Nas and other Hip-Hop artists to clean up their act and stop flooding the airwaves with the N-word. There are thousands of words in the English language. Nas and Universal can find another title for his upcoming album." Nas expressed no plans to change the title.
"It's like talking to your child about sex," Nas explained to Rolling Stone. "It's probably going to make people uncomfortable. I don't expect a lot of people to sell a record called N****r. Hopefully people can open their minds up and lose some of the fear and deal with it. It's just an album." Nas said that while the album is almost completed, he is not ready to discuss it. However, he did add that the recent hate crimes at the Tupac Amaru Center for the Arts was further proof that a dialogue on race needed to remain open. Click HERE for the full interview.
As it currently stands, New York's Common Retirement Fund has an estimated value of $154.5 billion, $3 billion of which is invested in 16 major entertainment companies such as Time Warner, Disney and Universal. At press time Island Def Jam Group Chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid said both he and Def Jam are firmly behind Nas' decision to release the already controversial album on Dec. 11.

Nas' Controversial LP Bumped To February


So far there's been a lot of talk about Nas' controversially titled new LP, Nigger, but no music. The man — and the album's title — has caused incitement and excitement without the public hearing a single note or rap.


Nas had originally planned to put the project out next month, but according to his camp, the album has been pushed to February: Black History Month. Nas told MTV News the first single will drop sometime in January.


And over the weekend, a snippet of what was labeled a new Nas record called "What It Is" leaked to the Net...




"Racist neighbors flinchin'," he rhymes. "They don't know if I'mma rob them/ Or if I'm Russell Simmons/ They thought it was me, just like Mike Bivens/ They pray for my downfall like the mom of Robin Givens."


Nas' camp said the MC is still working out the album's final track list. On Monday afternoon (November 26), Nas himself clarified to MTV News that "What It Is" will definitely not be on the album. Those are vocals that were leaked and added onto a random beat.


"I never rhymed to that beat," he said.


Atlanta's DJ Toomp (T.I., Ludacris) and longtime Nas collaborator Salaam Remi have already contributed tracks, in addition to a slew of new producers. Diddy and his new Hitmen are also scheduled to come onboard before production closes in the next week or so.


While community leaders such as the Reverend Al Sharpton have spoken out against Nas' use of the N-word, the wordsmith has gained a swell of support from his peers — including Alicia Keys, Method Man, LL Cool J and even Def Jam founder Russell Simmons — as well as current label head L.A. Reid.
