Is Nas just trying to offend us now? The short answer is yes; his new album is entitled Nigger. No word on whether it's good or not—it's understandably been stalled by Def Jam—but since it's Nas, there's a strong chance it'll be solid. He kills it on stage, too, as you'll see tonight. DG w/Lifesavas, Libretto, DJ OG One; Roseland, 8 NW 6th, 8 pm, $35-40,
