LISTEN: Nas - N.*.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master)

DOWNLOAD Nas - N.*.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master) (MP3)

Ugh. I was really hoping Nas wouldn't have to take an L on this one. He was forced to change his N*igger album title after all by shady double-speak execs (looking at you Mr. LA Reid). As a saving grace he does give the following statement, and I think he should just promote it at concerts etc by it's original title anyway. Another way to make it better is taking creative revenge, and he does by dropping 'N.*.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master)', which is one of the better Nas tracks in a while.

In a statement, Nas clarified that he considers his new album untitled, adding: "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans. It’s been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that, creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it." (Source)

Props to OnSmash for the mp3.

Would be nice for this banger to get "Song of the Year".
