I’m a Nas fan, so when I heard he was going to name his new album Nigger, I thought about Dick Gregory’s Autobiography, also called Nigger.

I wanted to wait and actually hear the first single before assuming that his choice in naming his album after a word that is so deeply rooted in our history and so painful was just a publicity stunt. I figured, Dick Gregory named his Autobiography years ago Nigger and it sold over a million copies, so why not wait and see where Nas is going with this before chastising him.
Well, I take that all back after seeing Nas and Kelis wearing Nigger to the Grammys. About a million comments came to mind, and most of them were around the lines of, “Is this n*gga crazy…..what the hell was this n*igga thinking, has this n*gga lost his rabbit ass mind!” I didn’t see the preshow but would loooovvvveeee to know how the press reacted and if Nas or Kelis gave any comments. I think it would probably be around the lines of, “I am an attention whore”.
