As you’re all probably aware, there is a slight stink being fussed up about Dog The Bounty Hunter and what he said about his son’s girlfriend, thanks to his use of the word 'nigger' and how much it offends people.

So now you'd imagine that anyone who wants to escape with their career intact would avoid using that word in public like the plague, wouldn't you? You should try explaining that to Nas, who's decided to step into this odd situation. Not that anyone seems to have noticed, mind you. Nas is bringing out a record that's tediously called Nigger. How convenient. 

When Radiohead announced that fans could pay whatever they wanted for new album In Rainbows, it was meant to show that a band could trust its fans to acknowledge all the work that goes into an album's creation and pay accordingly.

Yeah, hasn't happened. Of all the people who downloaded In Rainbows last month, less than half of them actually paid anything at all for it, it's been revealed. According to researchers ComScore, only about 40% of people who downloaded In Rainbows by Radiohead decided that paying money to hear it was a good idea, spending an average sum of just $2.26 for it. Although this could be seen as a disastrous embarrassment for Radiohead, the band shouldn't get too downhearted - after all, most bands would struggle to charge $2.26 for a bunch of songs that sound like a bunch of Broken Social Scene B-sides in the first place.
