I dont really like using it as an album title, it's a little strong but who knows...i wonder what people are going to say about it.

What do you all think?

It's a good title. I'm expecting some deep racial talk on this album.

Man record stores have their shelves alphabetized, if you can read you can find it ...
And if you can't you should be in school not listening to an album called "Nigga" because that's way too fucking ironic.

Didn't the game want to call the doc.. "nigga witta attitude" and he wasn't allowed, how the fuck will nas be able to get a album called "nigga"?

I thought nas was going to call HHID, "the N" not "nigga" as well?

He'll get good record sales no matter what anyway.

Game couldn't name it that because of Eazy's E widow or some shit. and copyright laws...
And I never said the title was more important than the music, dogg....Quote me from where I suggested that, oh thats right I didnt.....

There have been so many times where I had to ask for an album from the people working there...at the record stores I go to they don't always put all the albums out, especially specialty ones that they only have a few of. I mean I'm sure they will put a Nas album out on the shelves but I'm sayin it's just gonna be weird cuz no white people are ever gonna wanna say the name of the album out loud...that's fuckin weird.

I'm white I can say "nigga" so long as it's not directed at anyone and I'm just quoting lol.

People should be glad I'm not black because if I was it would just be "you ignorant ass nigga, nigga this, nigga that, nigga got hit with a wiffle ball bat"

Whoever would to be scared to say the title of an album because it could be offensive, is an imbecile. I'll say the title of the album out loud, just the same as if you're reading a book, in school out loud and it has a swear word in it.

Damn.. what's so bad about saying nigga as long as it's not directed at someone I have white skin but nearly all of my cousins are mixed race or black and I always say nigga. A few of my cousins are halfcast but have white skin. I dont know my dad so I dont know if i am white or not but even if I am white I would still say it to people. I fucking hate racist people.

Isn't that a good idea from a business standpoint? Better that than making watered down commercial joints to create a buzz.

My guess is that if he does actually go with this title, it won't be a picture of himself for the first time.

Just the words "Nigga" and nothing else would be most effective. If you've ever seen the cover of the book "Nigger", then you would have an idea of what I'm talking about. The word alone really is the most powerful thing you could put on the cover. Anything else would distract from the title.

I reckon he should have stayed with the face theme, guess he ran out of ideas for the face though..

I reckon he should have stayed with the face theme, guess he ran out of ideas for the face though..

He submitted a concept cover with a close-up of him mooning the camera, and a gold tooth on it. His label thought it was too abstract though.

Nas with another brilliant move! I don't know if he's just trying to sell records, or if his intentions are good...

Look at the craze 'Hip Hop Is Dead' started.

Maybe this album will have some sort of message?

Nirvana

10-15-2007, 06:35 PM

yea byt the time it drops the album will be called something else
unless nas really needs that little bit of publicity cause he's runnin out of ideas lol

mooning the camera, as in showing his ass with a gold tooth on his ass?

Nas is a great artist and I have alot of respect for him, and while I agree the music should speak for itself, Nas ain't showin that by picking the name of the album. He wants people to talk about it, so it will build a bigger buzz for him, I think an artist of his stature should just focus on the music, and not name his album something controversial for publicity.
