Nas Interview with SPIN

To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.
SPIN has a one-pager with the Little Homey in their July issue which is now online. He talks about how the decision to drop his album title came about, his Fox News song and his level of political activism.
Why did you wait so long to change the album title if you knew it was going to be a problem?
It was a matter of deciding between changing the name or skipping the major retail outlets I knew wouldn’t carry the record and just selling it through my website and stores that had balls. [Def Jam chairman] L.A. Reid and I had a conversation — I enlightened him and he enlightened me, and he was with me. But I want as many people as possible to hear this, and it was going to be a messy battle that was going to distract from what the album had to say.

this was a decent nas interview…I think I got some faith that this album is gonna be good if not great. esp since he dropped that N-Bomb Tape which was on point.

I dont talk hard shit like Im some in the streets dude…Im a chunky white boy that happens to be a hip hop head and music fiend. talk shit and joke around alot, but thats me all the time, in real life wacky, weird, and funny.
I make decent money, i aint ballin but so be it, I drive a cot dman 2002 chevy silverado. thats it. My girl aint some skinny model or video vixen, but she is cute, thick, and a good down to earth woman.
