Reports had the album coming out in February with the first single coming out in January. But it looks like Nas will not be dropping the controversial, “Nigger,” album during Black History Month. Inside sources have told RealTalkNY the album will not be hitting stores this month. A single should however be released in the near future. Nas last album, “Hip Hop Is Dead,” went gold and sold over 750,000 records.
XXL: Hip-hop was very much under the microscope last year, beginning with the Don Imus situation. What’s curious about that is that, here we are, nearly a year later, Imus has his job back, and somehow hip-hop continues to be examined because of what he said.
Nas:I think Imus was just trying to be cool, trying to be down. And it was a win-win situation for him, because it wasn’t handled properly. I believe in Don Imus’ freedom of speech. Because if we don’t know what people are thinking, how can we solve any problems? If you don’t know what Nas is thinking, how do you know what the people that listen to me are thinking? People tell their kids, “Don’t listen to that.” But you can find out who your kids really are if you listen to what they’re listening to and watch what they’re watching.
why were these videos not released with the album? the same thing happened with "hustlers" feat the Game on Hip Hop is Dead
