The always controversial Nas appears on the cover of the January 2008 issue of The Source Magazine.

In a recent interview, the rapper revealed some details about his upcoming album, Nigger.

“I have a song called ‘The Fear,’ ” he said.”The full title of the record is ‘The Fear of the Black Man’s Dick.’ That’s some shit you can get comedy [from], or you can get some seriousness from it when you talk about the barbaric castrations that happened in our past — which is very serious, nothing to laugh at.”

“It’s not an attack on white people at all. It’s knowledge; it’s understanding for all people. It’s not an attack on any race.”

“It’s about the attacks that have happened to blacks, whites, all ethnicities…’Mick’ niggers, ‘guinea’ niggers, ‘kike’ niggers. I have a song called ‘You a Nigger Too.’”

“It’s all over the place,” he added. “Balance is so important because there’s a fun level to the [album] too. There’s an attractive, sexy, aspect to it; a stylish aspect, a flashy aspect. It takes negatives and makes them good.”

The album’s release date is set for February a.k.a. Black History Month.
