Nas has leaked a brand new song from the up-coming controversially named album, Nigger, and the lead-off single is just as bold a statement. The new song, entitled 'Be a Nigger Too' begins with Nas saying "You are now allowed to listen to the radio; real niggers are back (on the radio)" before diving into the first verse. The much talked about 'n' word is used repeatedly on this particular track to give an indication of the vibe which the entire album is likely to sound.

"I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's nigger, we some niggers / wouldn't you like to be a nigger too / They like to strangle niggers, blame a nigger, shootin' niggers, hangin' niggers / still you wanna be a nigger too... true," Nas raps on the chorus.

"To all my 'kike' niggers, 'spic' niggers, 'guinea' niggers, 'chink' niggers/ That's right, y'all my niggers, too," he adds.

Nas also touches on the incident where Eminem had reported to have used the 'N' word, but Nas expresses that he is not offended by the incident.

"Not mad cause Eminem said nigger / Cause he's my nigger / Wigger / Cracker friend / We all black within / We all African within / Some African's don't like us no way / A killin' happened in Johannesburg yesterday."

Nas has once again stirred controversy between critics, artists, fans and media sources and the much talked about album is expected in stores later this year, courtesy of Def Jam Recordings.
