NAS took to the streets of Manhattan yesterday as he participated in a staged protest outside the headquaters of FOX News. The rapper, who currently has the #1 album in the country (unseating Weezy, with an impressive and much needed first week tally of $354,000) is upset over what many preceive as right-wing smear tactics on behalf of the network, aimed at distorting the public perceptions of minorities.
NICK CAREY-CANNON was spotted out and about last night in NYC. I'm digging the suit.
ESTELLE dropped by Much On Demand yesterday to chat and perform her new single.
You gotta love love love chic's style.

For a third non-consecutive week, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) tops The Billboard 200. The set moved 125,000 copies during the tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 20% drop in sales from the week previous.
Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol) sits tight at No. 2 for a second week with 113,000 (-25%) while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" keeps the No. 3 spot warm with 88,000 (-23%).
This slow buying trend bodes well for Nas' new release as the belagured rapper sorely needs a #1. Rumor has it, if this album comes in outside of the top three, the rappers deal, now not suported by longtime "frienemy" presidential Jay, will be allowed to lapse.
Stay tuned.

NAS SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF ON HIS CONTROVERSIAL ALBUMS NAME CHANGE
0 comments Posted by THE fly GIRL at 5:24 PM
When Nas said he didn't name his album "Nigger" because there might be problems getting it into stores, it was no surprise. But when he said pressure from black leaders played a role, it seemed out of character.
The Queens-reared rapper has never been one to kowtow. Just last month, he referred to the Rev. Jesse Jackson as "the biggest player hater" and declared Jackson's time as a voice for black America over.
But in a recent CNN interview, Nasir Jones explained he didn't change the album's name to please the Rev. Al Sharpton and other black leaders. Rather, they were stealing his thunder.
"I don't think I liked the attention I was getting from some of the elders in my community," he said. "I saw it kind of leaning toward being about them ... only about them. I kind of wanted to just shake that off of me."

REV AL IS CALLS NAS' ALBUM NAME CHANGE "A PARTIAL VICTORY"
0 comments Posted by THE fly GIRL at 10:08 AM
Rev. Al Sharpton is cheered to hear Nas has given up on calling his new CD "N-."
The Queens rapper just announced that he was abandoning the N-word title - mostly, we hear, because he feared the big chains wouldn't sell the CD.
"I see this as a partial victory," says Sharpton, who has been among those calling for hip-hoppers to stop using the racist epithet. "The record companies have to consider the downside of using it, businesswise. That would not have happened if we hadn't protested."
Execs at Island Def Jam couldn't believe it when we informed them, in February 2006, that Nas had told us he planned to slap the slur on his next album. "I don't care about sales," he said at the time.
After those execs bugged out, the provocateur claimed he "was being facetious." Only he wasn't. He later informed label chief L.A. Reid that he really did want to call his album "N-." Though Nas told MTV that he was getting pressure to change the title, Reid insisted, "Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him."
One insider says Reid did advise Nas that Wal-Mart was unlikely to carry the record with the N-word on the cover. That, apparently, got his attention. The album, now untitled, is due out July 1.
"He doesn't want to hurt sales," says the source. "He's an artist, but he's also a smart businessman."
The source, who's heard the CD, says it's still filled with the N-word: "Every song talks about the word. It's a political manifesto about the hypocrisy of a vocal minority, which wants to censor lyrics but doesn't mind 200 people getting killed and maimed in a Quentin Tarantino movie."
"I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages," Nas said in a statement. "The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."
Adds Sharpton: "I have a lot of respect for Nas. I liked what he said about [police shooting victim] Sean Bell. We have a fundamental disagreement on this. He can rap against me. I'll preach against them. We're still friends."
