Just when we thought Nas's forthcoming controversial album was green lit, L.A. Reid says not so fast.
Nas, who sounded confident with the release of the LP during an interview with Foxxhole radio, said the album has been scheduled for release on April 22nd.
In a recent interview with SOHH however, Def Jam chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid didn't sound too sure when asked if the album would be released with it's controversial title, "Nigger."
"We'll have to see," he retorted. "Hopefully we'll get it in April or May," he tells SOHH regarding the April 22nd release date.
"Something like that, somewhere around there. It's getting there, we're getting close."

Damn can't even call your shots and you're a legend. industry rule number 4080, RECORD COMPANY PEOPLE ARE SHADY!
Ill cosign that shit^^^
this album seriously needs to be released under the name "Nigger".. it'll help bring hiphop back into the golden age when they were actually rapping about something that matters
why i ain't heard a single off this album yet
true i was wonderin that myself....
Titles and postphonin the album only lets me know the real foundation of this country. Can yu believe in 08' this word still rekindles our origins in this country. Who gives a fuck what he named the album. All these niggas takin pictures with these execs when the execs are thinkin NIGGER in their minds. Fuck the industry, yall better find a way get independent. These fuckin crackers will always hate you and resent your God givin gifts. Why they scared of that name? They created the shit now they wanna pertend the word is so offensive, JENA 6 Mutha.....'s!
^^^^ You say, "These fuckin crackers will always hate you and resent your God givin gifts" ??????????
First of all L.A. Reid is BLACK!!
Second of all this has nothing absolutely nothing to do with color of skin. Your ignorant comment is exactly what the problem is with hip hop and even outside hip hop.
Straight up ignorant people are the reasons why NAS cant even simply title his album "Nigger"
lol who says cracker anymore?? And yea u are dumb LA Reid IS black... and WE didn't create it... WE a hundred years ago did... and YOU decided to add it to your vocabulary... but anyways, no1 stopping blacks of showing their "God Given Talents"... All the NFL is pretty much black, the NBA, alot in baseball, and the music industry in alot of ways is dominated by blacks... well i guess just the music I listen to... ALL WE HAVE IS HOCKEY... and i dont even like hockey! o and i guees oil and bureacracy
egypt i almost feel bad for you that you gotta go through life being a fucking retard
Egypt im finna give u props on that one. look at all the white people getting offended lol
"we'll see" means it's getting delayed
This will be one of the best albums never heard
LOL
word
dam thats sum bullshit! wat the fuck is up??? he got all the buzz he needs all he needs is a single and a fuckin release date dam!
I know I can't say shit without ppl lecturin me but if he releases under that name... white ppl just like can't buy it... and like it or not, white ppl contirbute ALOT of sales to any hip hop album... well big name hip hop album's...
ill cosign white people has a big influence in sales
fuck that im copping...its not that real to me
once again scrillstar you impress me with your stupidity.
White people wouldnt give a fuck if the album was called KKK music. If anything, they are the ones that buy things strictly from hype.
The same reason you have the carter 3 reserved at your local wal-mart.
damn GetHip... ima sned u a photo of mu nuts so u can just lick it... u all over my shit all the time!!! ARE YOU WHITE?!?! NO!!! SH SHUT THE FUCK UP U DONT KNOW SHIT BOUT US WHITE FOLKS! Im not buying Carter 3 from hype.... U DUMBDICK! Im buyin Carter 3 cuz C1 rocked, C2 was better, he killed the mixtape game, the Hot BOys reunion historical moment, and I wanna see what C3 has to offer cuz it can only get better. So FUCK u, u dumb bitch get off my nutz
So you do have C3 reserved at wal-mart!
fuck the bullshit! let nas do him! ill buy that shit no matter when or how it drops!
Scrilstar everyone needs to know this spiderak fag is always riding 50 dick clown ass bitch u heard, n I respect ur comment no dis
who the hell is spiderak?
this is all propaganda.
i think in their minds they're hoping nas will back down from the
the title, but we all know he isn't. he'd lose WAY too many fans
and be seen as a hypocrite.
this seems like the kind of album that nas would have been better off
releasing independent, but of course he is under contract.
i personally am waiting for it, and am loving the interviews he's giving
as to why he named it that.
ayo dats that bs wit music these dayz niggaz cant put out shit wit gettin the approval frum somebody that part of tha reason why hip hop dead cuz niggaz cant put out the shit they really want it alwayz gotta be tha way da label wantz it..
u like to bitch alot dont u?
yo probably wont drop until the summer time but its good right now 4 god's son he gettin mad publicity right now album got b hot though
I really dont fuckin care what he calls da shit as long as its hott!! I havent really looked at Nas like he could be the best rapper around in a long time. Im hopin dat dis album will get me back into dat state of mind!!!
im white and im guna buy this, and whoever said 'white people contribute to the sales of big name hip hop artist's albums' isnt that a bit racist, i mean does the colour of your skin make a difference what sort of hiphop you lisen 2? i lisen to ALOT of underground shit so thats bullshit
props.
See what I mean scrillstar?
No, it's NOT racist. Y'all know what he damn meant... White people, specifically white teens, purchase the BULK of Hip-Hop. It ain't no secret. I experienced it back in 99 when I used to work @ Tower Records. All white kids were coppin' N.O.R.E. and Puff's Family joint that came out that year in the DRONES... Black people were coppin' Mary's MARY album.
thank you... i made a very valid point... if u guys cant see it then just dont bother with it
Yeah cosign the "who the fuck cares about the title" shit because Nas delivers wit every album...lyrics..originality..pure hiphop
If this album dosnt get released because Nas cant call it nigger....remember these albums...Guns & Roses- the spaghetti incidentSex Pistols- nevermind the bullocksJohnny Cash- Man in BlackAll of them had songs where the word "nigger" was used. Not "nigga".... NIGGER.Corporate America didnt care then.They care now.They care because they think rap obscenity is more offensive than rock & roll obscenity.They ban free speach and its 2008.
WE ARE NOT FREE YET
(scrillstar this is the reason you sound stupid for your rants about white oppression)
dude i must be way the fuck over ur head... I am the least racist white dude I just tell it like it is... of I was a white opressionist would i even be on this fuckin site... NO!! u never wanna listen to what the fuck I have to say and think bout it u just immeditaly find ways to dissect it and turn around what im sayin.... GET OFF IT U LAME!
You a spoiled lil bitch kid.
I wont forget that you called us niggers in the boosie thread... dude.
Or the coach bag shit on the dead prez line.
You a fuckin punk ass kid with a big mouth who wouldnt say none of that shit to a nigga face in real life.
I dont care that your white.
I know alot of real cool white boys that know what time it is.
You aint none of that.
Youz a bitch.
On a hip-hop website runnin off at the mouth about white oppression.
I fuck with you because of that.
Dont get it twisted.
i dont see why the name of his album would halt it from it being put out.
tupac put out-strictly for my niggaz
ice cube put out-amerikkkas most wanted.
thats all i can think of at the moment but come on, and fuck who cares what the edited version names will be at walmart, i dont care about no edited music, editing nas music should be a crime anyway

DAMN FUK LA REID LET HIM RELEASE DA FUKIN ALBUM HE IS NOT DISSIN BLACK PEOPLE HE IS JUZ NAMIN DAT U KNOW YEA BUT WATCH IF IT DUZ GOOD LA REID GONNA GET ALOT OF MONEY HE AINT GONNA HAVE NUTIN 2 SAY BOUT IT DEN
Damn, I hope the title aint the problem...That is not a problem with me...I just hope he's redoing some tracks, getting samples cleared, you know just polishing it up. I think LA Reid would be a fool not to release it under the current name...I thnink he's gettin us Nas fans hyped up for what I hope will be another Nas classic.
I DONT GET 1 THING..WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT SHOULD MATTER...
NAS DOING HIS THANG, L.A. DOING THE SAME..ITS WHAT THEY GOTTA DO, ALL WE GOTTA WAIT FOR IS THE LAST PROJECT..
BUT ITS COO', THATS MORE RECORD SALES FOR NAS, ALSO AN ENTREPRENEUR...YALLL GOTTA SEE WHERE IM COMMING FROM
OHH WAIT, YOU CANT SEE...
HAHA
1
i disagree...besides all of nas' true fans and supporters, who will buy this album? How do you market a cd called nigger? this cd is not "briding the gap," as he stated before, and is further separating the black community........
Who gives a fuck what its called, listen to the music then judge it for yaself. Stop caring about the next mans shit.
TO>>>>GETALIFE...I TOTALY AGREE/ BUT THEN DESAGREE WITH YOU, THE TITLE, OF THE ALBUM (IN WICH I AGREE WITH DANGERLASOUL, WE SHOULDNT' CARE ABOUT, AS I SAID EARLIER) ISN'T THE BEST OF IT, BUT IT HAS ENOUGH ATTENTION .. THAT YES, EVEN PEOPLE WHO ARN'T A FAN OF NAS WILL LISTEN TO IT.
Yo fuck that nigger nas yall acting like he got shit on weezy. That nigga wayne is the only album you need to anticipate. That nigger nas is like the sweat under weezys ballz lukewarm
u must be anticipating wayne dick in ya mouth tonight fuck outta here
Yo I think we should completely ignore dis muhfucka
and all dis gay shit so he can go da fuck head somewhere
wit dat nasty shit!!!
I dont even hate Gay ppl but dis muhfucka is makin me start to!!!!
I have total confindent in NAS naming his album NIGGER. Come on you all know that if Nas is naming his album NIGGER, it has to be for a good reason. Watch the songs on there be about how some of these actors or actress on T.V. are acting like NIGGERS or how some dudes in the streets are acting like NIGGERS. Give the dude NAS sone credit he has been out for more than 10 years and has produce some bangers. NAS I gotch your back and fuck the faggot La Reid. He is the nigger you write about.
wtfff
i cant wait that long
i want this cd!
'If Heaven Was A Mile Away', I hope Nas puts a couple tracks like that on the album, Damn Son...some people ride peoples nuts a little too hard, you people speak like Nas gonna be readin your shit...ha..
THIS DEFINES NAS!... ...
An excerpt from the legend, Tanya Stephens' WAY BACK:
I wanna take you way back to ... before recycling shit, when the props that you got was for your writing and shit...
I mean way back to when you sweat blood on every line
To get one good song didn’t cost sixteen ninety nine
To be considered deep you had to actually say stuff
And if it wasn’t good disc jockeys didn’t play stuff
I mean way way, Marvin Gaye way back,
Come with me, let us journey past this melody
Give us room to exercise our minds
Take you to another place another time, better hooks, better rhymes
Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind
I used to be excited going to the record store, but these days I stay pacing the floor
Somebody please take me back to when the artistes were poor
Cause when they made less they gave us so much more
Let’s take it back to a ballroom, cloudy microphone… Smokey Robinson, Nina Simone
James Brown was still occupying the throne, when the songs weren’t sold off videos alone
Way back to when a star attitude, wasn’t defined by somebody being rude
To when it was a pleasure, definitely not a task
To greet a fan with a smile and sign a damn autograph
I mean way back to before you used to drive the Maybach
You dreamt about a mil but never made that
When you made some shit that we could play back
I mean way back to a whole ‘nother time, further back than your grandad’s hairline
I mean way back
Thats some real shit and some serious shit. It clearly speaks the truth. I feel sorry for these kids coming up nowadays all caught up in images and shit. They really dont know what time it is.
this happen wit hhid too didnt it
We Need This Album bad!!!!!!! Hip Hop Is Not The Same Man Soulja Boy And All These Radio Gimicks Are Fucking it Up With There Stupis Ass Dances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just fucking put it out already!!!
What the fuck!!?? Did I just read a comment comparing Nas to the sweat of Wayne balls??? Like The great Rick James said: "Cocaines a helluva drug." This dude must be on some serious shit to post a comment like that. I guess Wayne has the following of a bunch of dick riding, man kissing, fake bullet wound having, coked out rap fans. The fool who posted that officially came out of the closet, fuckin homo.
Do it for pac......Do it for all of us
Dear Nas,
What the fuck the world want from us real niggas.
all of the review i have read rated the album low,most said that it lacked the content you would think it would contain because of its name and the beats were way to radio friendly, hope its not true, cuz nas has always come correct...guess we'll have to wait and see when it comes out, however long that takes........
Yall some streotype ass niggas what the fuck gay or straight got to do with it? Ill fuck a nigga ass wide open and still hold it down with the heat. Niggaz know I put in work. Respect real niggas like me and wayne or get your shit pushed back. Dat nigga will spit 40 barz of fire while he cum on ya back
Tell me u did'nt just write dat......
wat dat was some pretty gay shit dude..... but anyways i thought L.A. reid was an R&B guy. but lets jus wait an see wat happens but i hope da cd does come out
lmao this nigga is a fuckin fag man! lmao
FUCK YALL TALKN BOUT, MOST OF US ON THIS PAGE IS NIGGAS WIT BIG NOSEs, BIG LIPS AND A BIG DICK; COP THE ALBUM AND SHUT DE DA FUCK UP PERIOD.
LOL!!! This fool said "I'll fuck a dudes asshole open and stay with the heater" Wow....I cant stop laughing..that is the most contradicting shit I've ever read. Tell that shit to real thug, and I know he'll slap the shit out of you. You MUST be a Wayne fan...no, I think that comment goes beyond what any normal person would say. "I put in work" where, as a armed security guard at a GAY club. Go the fuck on with that bullshit.
SOOOO is he saying that Wayne besides kissin men, swagger jacking almost any NY Mc's flow, and having his shit ghostwritten, will spit 40 bars of fire and then nut on my back...uh NOOOOO!!! Sorry dude you got life fucked up thinkin that shit would happen to me. You have just called Wayne a gay rapper...I bet you want a kiss from him too, then he could spit 40 barz of nut in your MOUTH.
Its easy to talk shit online where a nigga can't put hands on you. How deep you go in a nigga ass aint got nothing to do with whether you hold it down in the streets. And you talk shit about wayne but you know that nigga will put you 2 bed pussy
