NAS TO RELEASE THE N**GER MIXTAPE
Hip-hop star NAS will defy his record label bosses at Def Jam when he releases THE N**GER MIXTAPE - after he was pressured to drop the controversial word from the title of his forthcoming album.
The I Can hitmaker announced earlier this month (May08) that he will be changing the LP title from N**ger to Nas, in an effort to appease Def Jam executives’ fears over the racially charged word.
However, on a forthcoming underground collaboration with fellow hip-hop star DJ Green Lantern, Nas will finally be able to use the name - and achieve his original aim of making a political statement about hypocrisy in hip-hop.
The independent mixtape will hit stores next month (Jun08), and his Def Jam release will follow on 1 July (08).
