Nas Explains Album Title To White Girl

Nas was planning to call his new album Nigga, then decided to cut to the chase. And we thought Charlie Rose dropping Diddy was awkward. If you weren't aware of the controversy, this video of Nas and an uncomfortable Vegas interviewer might clue you in a bit.

Then again, maybe not, since neither of them "take the power from the word" by actually saying it. Love this, though:"It's just an album, so it's not like a Civil Rights march." And across the dial, shock jocks are pushing it to #1 on Amazon as we type. Bravo, Nas! It's out 12/11.
