Nas Explains New Album In Song
================================================================================
Menho Donoghue on 21 May, 2008
 
The rapper has given AllHipHop.com an exclusive track, in an attempt to once and
for all explain the album's former title.
Included in the lyrics to 'N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master)' are the
lines, "In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king / They say we
N-I-double G-E-R / We are much more / but still we choose to ignore the obvious
/ Man, this history don't acknowledge us / we were scholars way before colleges
/ People afraid of criticism / But I always put myself in this sacrificial
position / Anytime we mention our condition, our history or existence, they
calling it reverse racism".
It's not clear if this track will appear on the new album, or if it is purely a
response to criticism of the album's now changed title.
