Mission Accomplished
Posted by Bossip Staff
Nas’ decision not to call his new album Ni**er has put a smile on ole Al’s face.
“The 34-year-old New York native wanted to use the title to make a political statement about the hypocrisy in hip-hop. But criticizm from Def Jam record executives and fear of a decline in sales persuaded him to pull the title on Monday, just six weeks before the album hits stores on July 1.
And Sharpton is calling the rapper’s decision a ‘partial victory’ for racial-equality activists.
He says, ‘The record companies have to consider the downside of using it, business-wise. That would not have happened if we hadn’t protested. I have a lot of respect for Nas. I liked what he said about Sean Bell. We have a fundamental disagreement on this. He can rap against me. I’ll preach against them. We’re still friends.’”
Al got what he wanted, and Nas will have increased record sale. Sounds like everybody got their back scratched here.

I LUV NAS
OH AND AL SHARPTON…MIND UR DAMN BUSINESS
“Al got what he wanted, and Nas will have increased record sale.”
Increased record sale?
Does anybody at Bossip speak English?
Mmmmmm, not his fan. By just saw his profile on dating site “W e a l t h y l o v I n g . c o m. ” last week. It seems he is single again.
Perhaps
Does anyone really give a ***** about what permed up AL thinks anymore?
Well i think Naz should of stuck with the title. Now the Album has no title. Oh well. Its all about the Money.
If Nas album was titled:
-Strictly for My N!ggas
-Only for real N!ggas
-We some hard N!ggas
-Weak N!ggas die, etc.
There would NOT be controversy. . .but when you attempt to shed light on historic wrong’s and how we’ve accepted being n!ggas without knowing it, suddenly there’s “wrong”.
Do the same thing toward the 100’s of 1000’s of albums filled with the word, not someone who’s using substance on the subject. . .**STOP LETTING THESE SITES THINK FOR YOU!**
I don’t think anybody really cares about NAS’s music that much anymore. I don’t care what he calls it.
^^^ People still care ma, depends on where you’re from obviously.
@fabulous…alot of people still care about NAS. I mean alot. He is still damn near the best lyricist in the game. He may not be as commercial as most other rappers but he is still very relevant to the game.
Can’t stand this twisted dude. Kooky wife, stupid CD title, somebody has to school him on the stupidity of it all! NAS SUCKS THE BIG ***** IN MY BOOK!!!!
With that title nas had a point … He is very political if you listen to his music. If it was anybody else I could see people getting mad, Nas had a point I still want to hear it.
Political HELL!!!! He’s one the biggest *****es in the biz. He talks a lot of *****.
Uh. I’ll be honest, as a white dude, I would have felt a little awkward about asking for this cd at Tower Records. One because of the title and two also because Tower is out of business.
@ The Truth
That’s some real *****, right there!!!
co-sign 100%.
@ Truth
Couldn’t have said it better myself fam
The title of the album won’t take away from the message though
Nas keep dropping science in your lyrics
Maybe he should have titled it “Ambulance-chasin’loudmouthed hypocrite” instead?
***** Al the demon….Im a ***** fo life…***** ***** *****! This is who I am a *****…And I have mad knowledge of who I am! I’m from the lost tribes of Judah…I know I’m a Jew, Hebrew Israelite..You the ***** Al, you teaching false *****…WAKE UP LOST NATION THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND…YAHSHUA THE TRUE MESSIAH!
I’m glad he’s changing the title…….I couldn’t even listen to the leaked tracks knowing what the intended title was going to be.
Nas’s, the Roots, and Common are the only rappers still in the game that can convey a deep thought.
All these rappers should RAP it up before they start sounding crazy and in need of intervention. The longer they stay in the game, the more desperate they become to find new material to push. Even RUN DMC started to loose their swag; even to the point of looking like Onyx! Damn, that was a shocker.
Nas is tarnishing his legacy with a horrid publicity stunt like this, he should be shamed.
NAS has been in the business too long to use shock value to sell CD`s.

Hey Bossip whose pockets are you in? Why did you take down all the comments that spoke the truth about how shady sharpton and jackson are?
Made a mistake. Apologies Bossip. I was on the wrong page. Shady Sharpton and Jester Jackson are discussed on another page.
Al Sharpton needs to sit down some damn where. Ugh I can’t stand him he’s such a joke. Nas on the other hand, I see his point on using the N word and also changing is mind. Nas is a smart man he knows what he’s doing.
