Def Jam to Drop Nas?!?


January 23, 2008 | Tags: nas, def jam, wtf

So crawling around the internets I come across some interesting news...

Looks like Def Jam is leaning on dropping Nas if he doesn't switch up some things regarding the title of his upcoming LP (we all know it).

"There is no way that we can put out an album with that title. Many retailers have already told us - flat out - that they won't carry [an album with that title] ... Nas' last album [Hip Hop is Dead] sold pretty well, but not well enough for the headache he's cause [the label]." an insider reportedly told mediatakeout.

Now, I KNOW mediatakeout isn't the highest held news place, but they do seem to come through from time to time. And regardless it is interesting and makes sense (to me). I don't have a problem with the title, and I'm sure most heads at Def Jam don't either ... BUT if the product isn't gonna be sold at places, things need to be changed.

I'd love for the album to come out with that title. Well, as long as Nas comes through with some thought provoking shit and not some club bullshit ... using the title just as something to cause controversy. I thought the comment about him not selling "well enough" was retarded. So what? If he went quad-plat it would be ok?

We'll see if any of this has any truth as it'd also been said that this decision is supposed to come to light within the next few days. Oh shit...
