Our friend over at IceDotCom had the honor of interviewing Nas yesterday. You can read the excerpts below or listen to the full audio beginning at the 15:20 mark: ICEDOTCOM interviews Nas ICE: "After LA Reid previously & publicly said he was behind the album title & it's content, what & when made him or whomever at Def Jam change his mind..." Nas: "Nah he never changed his mind it was uh, I know what you talkin about bruh. A Newsweek article came out that startled the big wigs, I mean LA is a big wig but there some other big wigs  that are part of the company that don't live in America, those dudes were startled and like 'goin on. So it was uhh a lot of our own people who were threatening those guys with law suits and it would just seem like it was about to be a fight with me & my own people, my own assembly men because they don't understand the youth and our generation of hip hop & they want a piece of it. They don't like that we makin money they don't like that they done studied all these schools these books and here us niggas gettin money drivin Lambos, smokin that kush, helpin out our homies in the hood and keepin our tradition right they don't like that. They want us to pull our pants up and act like weirdos like they are. So they threaten law suits cause they ain't get no bread. So I didn't want that. I didn't want that kind of problem right now cause that was unnecessary that ain.t have nothing to do with what I was trying get of my chest. So I just shook them dudes loose. But LA always been with me man. Still is." ICE: "The 'Louis Farrakhan' record, will it be on the album?   Nas: "Oh hell yeah." ICE: "On the next album make a song about khaled Muhammed RIP." Nas: "RIP word up."
