Def Jam Claims Nas Has No Album on the Release Schedule

Posted by Bossip Staff

A rep for Def Jam is saying that not only will there not be an album released by Nas called Nigga, there is no album set to drop in December at all.

Via FoxNews.com:

“There is no album release by Nas on the release schedule at this point,” a source close to Island Def Jam Music Group chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid told FOXNews.com.

“And they would be unlikely to release an album with that title. How would that look at Wal-Mart?”

The Rev. Jesse Jackson denounced the rapper’s remarks about his desired album title. “The title using the ‘N’ word is morally offensive and socially distasteful,” Jackson said in a statement. “Nas has the right to degrade and denigrate in the name of free speech, but there is no honor in it. “Radio and television stations have no obligation to play it and self-respecting people have no obligation to buy it. I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade, making mockery of racism.”

We just love how the Reverend Jesse Jackson throws his opinions in there. Anyway, if there is no album coming out on Def Jam, maybe we should look forward to seeing Nas on another record label that wouldn’t mind putting that Nigga album on the shelves at Wal-Mart.

  6. Duche Bag Boy

    Hey Kid Rock is droping his album on December 4 titled “Cracker”!!!

  7. gravity

    i know if he were naming an album nigga, he really would have a better explanation for it than what Goerge Bush has for american lives and dollars are being wasted in the middle-east for no true precise explanation ! to the guy that says Nas’s time is up, u r the reason there should be an album called nigga !

  8. duhh

    yeah, i dunno whats wrong with Nas. I have more faith in him than that. I wish he would release a statement explaining his desire to release an able with that title. C’MON NAS! i love u man, but ur a hot sloppy mess. Intelligence: A. Common sense and lifelong decisions F (As illustrated by knocking up a hoe, getting signed to a recent adversary and allowing ur wife to walk the streets looking like a damn fool)

  9. Notch

    morning drock and the rest of the honeycomb hideout crew!

    Well i didnt really think that was a good title to begin with..so im sorta glad it was fake info


  10. Nasty Nas… Is this a publicity stunt, or is this a valiant, rebellious effort the likes of which Nasir Jones has lately been known for with his “Hip Hop is DEAD” rhetoric? I haven’t heard an explanation as of yet, but I tend to give Nas the benefit of the doubt simply because historically he has done well with explaining his chaotic tounge in a logical (and lyrical) manner. As far as Jesse and the NAACP, the logical explanation of ones position when referencing a vocabulary word is much more powerful than simply denouncing the word and casting it into darkness. It is only disrespectful in its meaning, not its usage. Because YOU choose not to say it, doesn’t mean it won’t be said. I’d rather hear a man’s reasoning than “box” a man’s words by title alone. If he has no viable logic or understanding for the words he uses, then HE ALONE should ban his own ignorant self from using ANY word he cannot grasp… at least until he enlightens himself. Jesse doesn’t want us to enlighten ourselves, he wants to do that for us. I’m good Jesse, Al and rest of you Skin Pimps… I’m good.

    Hell Def jam might not be in on it.

    He just might be making a mixtape, who knows?

    They obviously don’t.

    :)

  12. nono

    shouldve known. it was all rubbish!

  13. JaliliMaster

    I’m pleased. I thought it was pretty low, even for a so-called ‘gangsta rapper’!

  14. MJB's #1 Fan

    Is Nas even relevant anymore. He and his wife try too hard.

  15. Shawn

    I never believed he had a album coming out with that being the title anyway. Jesse Jackson should do a public apology as he had no problem denouncing him publicly!

  16. FIDDY

    If he does have an album comin out titled “Nigga” we should sit back and hear it before we assume it’s degrading, it could be a statement for niggas to get their lives together! Like I said before, how can they stop the word when trheir are still niggas out there. If you’re not acting like a nigga the no one will address you as one.There will always niggas, bitches, and ho’s, get real black folks!The word only stops if you live your life like a decent human being. But if you are going around robbin,stealin, and killin, then we have to leave the word put! And now black folks don’t just consider each other niggas, I hear white folks who think they gansta or black want to be called that by their peers.It’s ashame that they waited all these yrs to try to encourage people from saying the word nigga when they should have beeen trying to pull the word in the 60’s and 70’s.It seems like now that white folks is coming to the media with these names and they are trying to blame it on the rappers. white folks created the word and put it in the dictionary so are they niggers to!? We adopted the word and changed it to nigga because our forefathers and mothers called us by that name.

    All I want to ask Jesse and the rest of them that marched for our equal rights with the Rev Martin L.King Jr..is why now? why no one was offened when we first adopted the word from our slave owners! Why was’nt they teaching us to not say the “N” then!?

  17. wow

    Anybody who believed that shit in the first place is a straight up fool. People (including Jesse) will believe anything you read on Bossip/internet -it’s entertainment and nothing you read here should be taken to be 100% accurate. Come on people you’re smarter than that!

  18. TiaBia

    Let me tell you one television station that’s in lust with the N-word…FoxNews!!! Any time they can bring it up…they will!!!

  19. hey

    well thanks for clearing that up.

  20. John

    Something is seriously wrong with him!!!!!

  21. Ariel Yahudah

    It’s funny how blind everybody is man…The word Nigga (means Sottish, dumb) that does not describe every so-called Negroe…The word Black is worst than nigga (Black) means you don’t know who you are or where your ancestry begins..African American is a name made up by the white man or uncle tom man…We are the from the lost tribes of Israel called the Hebrew Israelites, you heard of the tribe of Judah!

    Start reading Black man……
