Nigger, yeah I said it...

One of the greatest artists to ever breath, Nasir Jones has decided to drop another album, scheduled for a December 11th release date, the album is titled "Nigger." Many people have spoken out in opposition to the release of this album, names like Oprah, Jesse Jackson, Bill O'Reilly (get out of here), and last but not least the man with the best perm in the world, Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton even went as far as stating, "He's helping out the racists." Now one thing I have learned in life, it's hard to criticize when you don't know about something, you have to study it first. In this case, "it" is Hip-Hop. Every name I said probabably have not heard over a half an hour of Nas in their old bland lives. When it comes to Nas, he is arguably the most introspective, creative, and socially conscious rapper of this era of the genre. Everyone in the Hip-Hop community knows Nas is going to release a body of genius work. Just like when we found out Jay-Z was naming his latest album, "American Gangster," we knew it wasn't going to be a mobsters autobiography, it's a work of art. I heard David Banner say it's funny how they called our ancestors it for centuries, but ounce we start calling each other "niggas" they have a problem with it. We all know that our meaning of "nigga" is different than "nigger." With the support of his label, Def Jam (distributed by Universal) and other big names such as Rev. Joseph "Run" Simmons, Alicia Keys, and LL Cool co-signing his artistic aim, Nas is going to drop something this genre and country really needs.-BH
