or this:

But yea, that’s the word on the streets according to Entertainment Weekly.

A representative for Def Jam has confirmed to EW.com that hip-hop artist Nas has made an eleventh-hour decision to change the title of his new album from N—– to simply Nas.

Then later in the day, word came from Nas:

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.”

Now check out the song, N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master).  Do you get it now?  July 1. Fuck y’all, I’m coppin.  Never underestimate my dude.

    I knew he wouldn’t go through with it. But you have to give the guy credit for knowing how to stir up media buzz for his upcoming album. Float it out there that you’re going to use the most offensive and controversial word in American culture as the title for your new album and - POW! - instant media frenzy!

    Controversy sells - plain and simple. Apparently even feigned controversy.
