Nas Gives Details, Song Titles from New LP

November 29th, 2007 | Author: Shake

With Nas new LP, Nigger, being pushed back to February, Black History Month the rapper gives more details on the album.

“Just to get the shit all the way right. I was still working and it was a few weeks away from a release date. It was impossible, the timing was off,” Nas told MTV off the release date change. “I’m always coming out in December so I guess I was used to it, but I had to force myself out of that. I couldn’t force the album out if it wasn’t done.”

Nas also reveals an interesting track title…

“I have a song called the ‘Fear.’ The full title of the record is ‘The Fear of the Black Man’s Dick.’ That’s some shit you can get comedy [from], or you can get some seriousness from it when you talk about the barbaric castrations that happened in our past … which is very serious, nothing to laugh at,” Nas explains.

With the album’s title causing controversy left and right, Nas promises that the album is “balanced” and that he isn’t taking a shot at white people (or any other one race).

“It’s not an attack on white people at all. Its knowledge; its understanding for all people. It’s not an attack on any race,” Nas stated. “It’s about the attacks that have happened to blacks, whites, all ethnicities. ‘Mick’ niggers, ‘guinea’ niggers, ‘kike’ niggers. I have a song called ‘You a Nigger Too.’”

So far DJ Toomp and Salaam Remi have production spots on the album, and Nas says that Jermaine Dupri and Diddy will be helping as well.

“It’s in the developmental stages. The possibilities could go anywhere. I’m writing a lot of shit down, and it just sounds crazy. The direction is totally right. Sometimes when you sit down and write, you don’t know how it will go. But this is totally write,” Nas says of the potential that is there with Diddy and his team adding to the project.

Nas’ upcoming LP, Nigger, will hit shelves this February 2008. HipHopDX will be dropping the single around the beginning of the year.
