Producers on his next venture will include Grammy award winner Mark Ronso, Stargate, Cool & Dre, Jay Electronica, And Stic.man Of Dead Prez.

This universal apartheid
I'm hog-tied, the corporate side
Blocking y'all from going to stores and buying it
First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
But Newsweek article startled big wigs
They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul
So untitled it is
I never change nothin'
But people remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit
I can't sit and watch it
So, sh!t, I'ma drop it
Like it or not
You ain't gotta cop it
I'm a hustler in the studio
Cups of Don Julio
No matter what the CD called
I'm unbeatable, y'all

They can push this shit back as much as they fuckin' want to...

It's gonna be a CLASSIC regardless!

Now this my friends...is what I call a Highly Anticipated Album!

I wanna pre-order it...but not until they get a definite release date.

Until then... the mixtape will hold me over just fine!

im glad dat the album iz still comin out. the politics of the industry wuz tryin 2 deny us a classic. nas is gettin a lot of flack 4 foldin under pressure. dat's bullshit! name another rapper in the game, besides cube, who would go directly at the system like nas is? he knows def jam couldn't market an album called "nigger", but he didnt care cause the message wuz more important then the money.

Though he cannot drop the album as nigga, we know what the name of the album is and what to call it. But on the bright side o this he can still name it nigger subliminally. The N. Unfortunately(not on jay's part) Jay already dropped the Black Album. It should something like that or on the real, N.A.S.

I cannot wait for this album to drop. If i myself was nas yall would have to wait for election day to cop the album. But maybe that would be to much tho...????? *enters deep thought* naaaaaaaw it wouldn't.

They can release this CD 2 years from now & it will still bang when it touches the street,…that just it, Nas don’t need a fuckin buzz like your Favorite rappers, sonn is a fucken ICON a Living Legend. And till I get my hands on this damn album The Nigger Tape is what I’m banging out,…Fuck that Carta 3, that shit is like Trash in the Winter : cold garbage

funny thing about this is it'll be a classic but it still wont do anything to affect the minds of young black men or for that matter young people in general. This is a album that will be straight heat but at the end of the day niggas aint gonna take the time to reevaluate themselves. Hate on wayne all ya niggas want but thats one thing he has control of is having his listeners on the same page as that nigga.

you call each other nigger every single day, even white people are comfortable saying it around us but yet when the real best rapper alive puts a mirror in your fucking faces you wanna ban the name(pardon me fellow comment droppers, im talking about these bitch ass labels)it is the reason why hip hop was said to be dead cause they want to see us act ignorant..they think that sells and talented cats like nas, lupe fiasco, common, get ignored because they make entirely too much sense.
