Nas Announces New Solo Album, Talks State of Hip-Hop and Collaborating with Frank Ocean
It's been three years - filled of allegations and adversaries - since Nas delivered a solo album, and although reaching the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, something about Nas' ninth solo album, 'Nas' (2008), still doesn't sit right with him, "I can look back at my last record and I know that some songs didn't belong there. I really over thought it. There was a lot going on," Nas says of self titled album, originally to be titled the "N" word.

Sources tell Us Weekly that Britney Spears is heading to Las Vegas this weekend to perform live at Sunday's 2011 Billboard Music Awards.
The 29-year-old pop star will take the stage two times.
Spears will do one performance -- potentially the opening number -- with Rihanna, 23. The duo will perform Rihanna's hit song "S&M."
Spears will also be performing for the first time ever with Nicki Minaj, 26. Spears and Minaj will partner up for a remix of Spears' hit "Till The World Ends."
Minaj first met Spears in April. Later that month, Spears confirmed on her website that Minaj would be joining her Femme Fatale tour this summer.
"I'm obviously honored to be out with Britney," Minaj told Us of the tour. "She's freakin' paved the way for so many things right now in pop culture. I'm excited to be on with her."
So what will Spears' return to the live television be like? "It's gonna be big," a source says. "People will definitely be talking about it the next day."
The 2011 Billboard Music Awards air Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.
