Nas talks N Word
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LOS ANGELES - Though he did not win the best rap performance by a duo or group Grammy for “Better Than I’ve Ever Been” (with Kanye West and KRS-ONE) in the pre-ceremony, the part-time Atlantan still made the rounds backstage, explaining the title of his April 22 CD, [The ‘N’ Word].
It was written across the T-shirt he wore, as well as the top his wife, recording artist Kelis, was wearing as she joined him.
The rapper born Nasir Jones said he hasn’t met with much resistance about the title. And to those who do have a problem: “They don’t really get where we’re coming from. They haven’t heard it yet.”
Nas hasn’t been one to back away from the provocative. His most recent CD, “Hip Hop Is Dead” is up for best rap album in the live telecast.
He added that he scrapped the reality show of he and his fiery bride. “It was boring”.
Would you have been interested in seeing how the two interact? What about his upcoming CD - curious as to how he justifies it?

Kanye West has once again embarrased himself at the Grammy’s. He is the most self-centered jacka$$ I’ve ever seen. If a professional athelete acted like that they would be history. Boo hoo you immature idiot, My Mom died recently too but I don’t think I deserve special treatment. GROW UP YOU FREAK!!!
