"If Cornell West was making an album called Nigger, they would know he's got something intellectual to say. To think I'm gonna say something that's not intellectual is calling me a nigger, and to be called a nigger by Jesse Jackson and the NAACP is counterproductive, counter-revolutionary."--Nas, discussing the title of his new album

so, once the album comes out, the intellectual and revolutionary dimensions will be revealed? and those dimensions will justify what, on the face of it, looks like a lazy claim to publicity?
even giving him the benefit of considerable doubt, granting him his title and intellectualism and revolutionary consciousness only serves to invoke Richard Pryor while at the same time ignoring Pryor's conclusions.
