OKP News: Nas Announces Book Coming Out in 2012

Atria books–an imprint of publisher Simon & Schuster–announced yesterday that Nasir “NaS” Jones will be releasing his memoirs with them next year. The book will be titled It Ain’t Hard to Tell and will be co-written with one of OKP’s favorite writers, Toure. The book is definitely being positioned to reach a mass book-buying audience who may or may not be familiar with Nas’ accolades and million-selling records like Illmatic–we can tell because the press notices that have been floating around include phonetic spellings of ‘Nahz’ and ‘TOO’-ray’ for the hip-hop impaired.

I predict a lot more books written by rapers. There is no $ in making music anymore. I just hope its not a “tell all” like other sites are saying. Nas is better than that.

Nasir Jones is probably one of the most well read rappers in the game. He puts a lot of christian theological commentary in his rhymes that go over most listners heads. Even the name of his albums, “I Am” “It was Written”, i am sure alot of his fans dont know where those terms come from (if you dont, ask your grandmother).
He is too good and to deep for a tell all. Honestly, he doesnt even need Toure to put out a reflective piece of work. I just hope its not 175 pages of he said, she said, you dont understand… he stole my style… blah blah blah. He is capable of so much more
