After months of posturing, from both Nas and his label executive boss, L.A. Reid, the rapper’s forthcoming ninth studio album will no longer be titled “N*gger.” Despite the decision to drop the controversial title from the much-talked-about impending album, Nas will not be changing the messages he plans to deliver to his audience through the LP’s no-holds-barred track list. Following last month’s release of Be A N*gger Too, Nasty Nas has leaked a second song off the project, entitled N.*.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master). Poetic as always, the veteran Queensbridge rapper speaks to an African American audience and reminds his people of the hard times they been through and what they need to do in order make sure the future is bright. Don’t judge a book by its cover; the same goes for Nas.

I liked the soulful production. This was a decent depiction of a culture, and also stereotypes that society, but also black people ourselves uphold.

It's NAS! I am kinda deflated bout the name change of the album! This song is fire lyrically. The beat is good, nothin spectacular. Still though, It;s Nas! 5 stars

Woah...woah...hold up, Nas just said what?!?! After the hard-hitting "Be A N!gger Too" was leaked, I totally expected this record to sound 10x as hard. I'm proud to say that Nas fools us once again and goes with the orchestrated production complimenting a straightforward, low-key hook. He masterly tackles dense subjects is a way that is revolutionary and politically moving. Yet, his tone lays a calm overall mood that is pure and undiluted. One part of me is disappointed that Nas decided to change his album title, while another part of me simply yearns for more controversy. Today's state of hip-hop needs unnecessary attention. Hip-hop needs to be revolutionary again. Hip-hop needs to reclaim that edge that no other genre of music can successfully deliver. Hip-hop needs Nas!!!!!

I like the content, but in my opinion, the beat is too understated, and Nas' voice can't captivate by itself.

Why do I get the feeling that this album is going to be a lyrically conscious LP. I don't mind it, but he better have a few nasty beats while he delivers messages about the state of hip-hop and the socioeconomic status of African-Americans post-MLK era. This is an album filler but a solid one. I agree with Lady Ruiz, he probably will come out with an autobiography.

yeah this song is not a hit but is very socially conscious like ppl already said, nas lyrics make u think and that y i always love him, i find that simple minded ppl dont like him cause they cant think and digg in to the true meaning of his songs.....the song is good but the hook kinda of pushing the song back cuz it so simple, its in rotation

Didn't really know where Nas was goin with "Be A N*gg*r". But the message is clear with this joint. This is what we need to hear more of in hip hop, instead of the 90 percent of the stuff comin out praising the all mighty dollar and 24 inch spinners. I like this one.

Nas doesn't need to leak any songs. He should just drop the cd. That sound just a DJ Toomp beat.

Nas said the album will be untitled. Now just copy/paste what TONE said and put it right here. Nas is the last true living king of hip hop.

Wow! The message here is deeeep. Are we ready for this? This generation is not used to hearing stuff like this but it's a good thing IMO. I'm still skeptical about the whole N-word but atleast the context of it is being used differently. Now I wish he had kept that original album title just because I feel it wasn't right for his label to take away his freedom of speech.

I normally listen more to music than to lyrics...especially when I don't understand them. To me this isn't a song, it's a man who talks with a music in the background! I'm sorry I can't appreciate this, I wanna hear rhythm, a catchy beat, not a man talking. I give 2 stars coz I normally like Nas and I know he makes efforts to make create lyrics...
