Contrary to an earlier Swagger Ready report, Def Jam denied that Nas has a new album called "Nigga" coming out in December. In fact, the label denied that Mr. Nasir Jones has a new album coming out at all. "There is no album release by Nas on the release schedule at this point," Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid explained.
But there's no doubt that Nas made the claim — which set the hip-hop community abuzz this week — during a Friday night performance at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The rapper's "Greatest Hits" album is set to hit music store shelves in early November. Nas told the crowd that he actually wanted to call his last record "Nigga," but Def Jam wouldn't hear it and made him change the name to "Hip-Hop Is Dead."
