Rapper NAS has ditched the controversial title of his new album just weeks before its release.The I Can hitmaker had planned to name his new release N***er, incurring the wrath of many fellow hip-hop heavyweights and concerning bosses at his label Def Jam. But insiders insist Nas has dumped the provocative title six weeks before the album hits stores on 1 July (08).
Nas hinted the title could change during an MTV News article last week. He said, "Everybody is trying to stop the title. Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title?" The album will now be an eponymous release. Meanwhile seems like every paper in this town has interviewed NAS last week except me. Why? I have been running around after other interview clashes last week. Kreesha Turner, Estelle, Jayde Nicole, Playboy Playmate all came to town and there was David Lowery from Vegas plus my prep for Al. B Sure and Bobby Brown's 20th anniversary in music! NAS will be performing in Toronto this Friday 24th. I will try and catch up with him sometimes in the next few days.
