Nas and Kelis Dispute: Nas is to pay $51,000 A Month

Via: billboard.com



Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal. Nas fired back in legal papers, “I did not receive even half that amount”… claiming it’s more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he’s only pulling in $147,165 a month.

The judge ordered Nas to increase his payments to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Kelis, and their infant son to $51,101 a month. The ruling came after two days of testimony about the musicians, during which both were portrayed as cash-strapped. Nas had been paying Kelis nearly $40,000 a month since July.

Nas' attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said after the hearing that the rapper benefits from the changes. Nas, whose real name is Nasir Jones, will no longer have to pay $13,000 a month for the former couple's Los Angeles home.

Kelis, who real name is Kelis Rogers, has been living at the Los Angeles home with the couple's son, Knight, in recent months and has installed recording equipment at the house. Her attorney, Laura Wasser, said she was "thrilled" with the ruling.

Some women are more expensive then others...lol

Straight from DJ Green Lantern's Twitter page: Nas and Jay Z performing in London

This is a Rap Treat that comes straight from DJ Green Lantern's Twitter page. He blessed us with a board feed (in other words a good quality recording) of Jay & Nas performing together in London. This was around the time they had just squashed their beef and started working together. It's a trip because they beefed so hard and then you get to hear Hov play hype man for Nasir on this download.

Nas, New Album Untitled - Rated **** stars out of 5
(A rating of 4 when their is more then the half a dozen avg, 6 songs liked)
(I give a full 5 rating if there's atleast 10 Bangers)

Tracks I liked on the new Nas Album

- The Intro (I'd never usually rate an intro but it was lyrically phresh)
- America (reminded me of Lupe Fiasco's "American Terrorist")
- Testify (My Favorite track on the album right now)
- N.I.G.G.E.R, slave and the master (decent track)
- Hero (Monster Beat) Prod by Polow Da Don
- Untitled, Louis Farrakhan (I thought this was artistically brave)
- Fried Chicken (There is always that one huge creative track by Nas)




Nasir Jones had this to say about his concept album: " I'm doing my dream. If you could, wouldn't you do it? What else would you do? Every time I do something, it's, 'Oh, he's doing it because this and that.' Since my first album, everybody has an explanation of why. What am I supposed to be doing here? " (Nuff Said)

Art imitates life...people should just let artists express their art and let the public scrutinize it or glorify it for what it really is after the release, whether you think its brilliant art or garbage; the public reaction will speak volumes through its sales and overall appreciation, I'm against censorship and parents should be the ones monitoring a child's purchase. Personally I liked this most recent effort by Nas more then his previous "Hip Hop is Dead" ...by far this one was more fiercely substantive and one of the year's most revolutionary efforts; put forward by an artist who quite frankly would have had more to lose by putting something like this out there in today's marketplace. The album is a cross between Dead Prez and Lupe Fiasco in feel and theme.

To Quote Nas himself...
"You little rap fans way out in safe suburbia...
would you stand with me, a United States Murderer, Huh? "
