Nas nods to the N-Word

Nas has announced that his next album, due Dec. 11, will be called "Nigger," raising the ire of Jesse Jackson and representatives of the NAACP, who were quoted on Foxnews.com admonishing the rappers' choice of album title.

"Stay out of our business. You ain't got no business worrying about what the word 'nigger' is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me," the rapper told MTV.com. "Whether you in the NAACP or you Jesse Jackson. I respect all of them ... I just want them to know: Never fall victim to Fox. Never fall victim to the sh-- they do. What they do is try to hurry up and get you on the phone and try to get you to talk about something you might not know about yet."
