According to the NY Daily News:
“I see this as a partial victory,” says Al Sharpton, who has been among those calling for hip-hoppers to stop using the racist epithet. “The record companies have to consider the downside of using it, businesswise. That would not have happened if we hadn’t protested. I have a lot of respect for Nas. I liked what he said about [police shooting victim] Sean Bell. We have a fundamental disagreement on this. He can rap against me. I’ll preach against them. We’re still friends.”
All this “promotion” how many copies of the album will Nas sell?

what the hell is c-webb doin in the picture. get that bum outta there.
nas is a coward….and probably the biggest hypocrite in hip hop
in opinion he never planned on naming his album nigger in the first place. it was just a promotional plan to keep a buzz without actually having anything music out.
