Music News: Nas' New Album Title Starts With an "N", Could End With A Sock in the Jaw

Nas -- Them's fighten' words...

Rapper Nas has a new album coming out, and woe to any whitefolk who dare to request it at the neighborhood record store. According to Billboard the follow-up to last year's excellent Hip Hop is Dead will be called Nigga. Or as Billboard termed it, N*gga. No word on whether the version shipped to Wal-Mart will be called N-Word. Now there is some debate as to whether "nigga" has the same meaning and import as "nigger", and there likely will be much more if Nas's new album comes out with the chosen moniker.
