Following the controversy surrounding the title "Nigger", Nas will release his new album untitled


After rumours that some stores may not stock the LP titled "Nigger", Nas announced he will release it as an untitled album instead. The album is due in stores July 1.

"It's important to me that this album gets to the fans," Nas said in a statement to AllHipHop. “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."

Nope.  I'm totally ignorant regarding this particular artist.  However, I have heard enough hip hop to permanently cement my opinion regardings its value (none).  The idea that this artist needs to use the word "nigger" to label his work is simply detestable.  The idea that stores would prevent a black man from selling an album called "nigger" is stupid.  The idea that he couldn't come up with another title is stupid.  The idea that this album is somehow "important" to get out to the streets is stupid.  I could whine further, but it serves little purpose.

The word "retarded" comes to mind, regarding the entire subject.
