Sign Up News Home - Help Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Asia Pacific World Search Search: Nas says Grammy nod shows he's on right track By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr.,Associated Press Writer AP - Saturday, April 25 ATLANTA - Although rapper Nas received backlash over his racial epithet-titled album before switching it to "Untitled," he says earning a Grammy nomination for his controversial disc encouraged him to keep speaking his mind. "It showed that I'm here and my voice is relevant," he told The Associated Press on Thursday night during an event held by BMI, a performing rights organization. "It shows my work is appreciated." Some like the Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Nas, calling his original title choice, which used the N-word, morally offensive and too degrading. Nas decided to changed the title but the lyrics stayed the same for the gold-selling album, which was released last summer. Nas, who calls himself a "street disciple and political voice of hip-hop," feels he was able to get his message across. "It tends to scare people and offend them," he said. "That's what it's supposed to do. A record is supposed to do that every once in a while." Now, Nas says he might take aim at another issue: homelessness in America. "We have it good here in America. We're spoiled," he said. "We don't realize that people are poor, don't have food, no water in this same world we live in. Those are the things I'm concerned with and need to talk about," he added. ___ On the Net: Nas: http://www.iamnas.com/ Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article 0 users recommend Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Entertainment & Lifestyle Rob Thomas readies new albumReuters - 30 minutes ago "Gossip Girl" star Meester signs record dealReuters - Saturday, April 25 'Lost' actor and ABC face sex harassment claimAP - Saturday, April 25 Rihanna seeking return of pricey jewelryAP - Saturday, April 25 'Secret' Stone lawsuit was routine fees matterAP - Saturday, April 25 Most Popular – Entertainment Viewed Downturn hits Elton John, Paul McCartney Tigers resisting calls to surrender: S.Lanka military Fertility doctor on brink of cloning human: report Albino buffalo a first for Kenya Charred meat linked to pancreatic cancer risk View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Copyright © 2009 Yahoo!
