The Album which was originally titled "N*****" received plenty of controversy when Nas first revealed what he would call it, but soon changed the album to "Untitled" saying " It doesn't matter what I call this album".
Despite being on top Nas isn't getting complacent as he joined the protest against Fox News today in New York. He also has an appearance scheduled on the Colbert Report on Comedy Central.
In other news…
"Untitled" was officially released on July 15th. The first single off the the album was "Hero".

Nas one of the GOAT.
Congrats to the homie Nas. Five #1 albums is hard to do. Not many can say they've done that. I know Jay and DMX can say that but not many more.
By the way Untitled is a classic fuck what you heard.
about time. Nas is one of the last real rappers out right now.
Weezy step down...Nas is here. Nas has lyrical talent, not Weezy.
word nas...i havent even heard the album yet but everybody said its a classic so i gotta go cop that
shits been tight since illmatic,
oh yea and at apex, just cuz some one sells a lot of albums dosent mean the are a good artist
Yo Apex, u sound like ur tryin to start some internet beef shit. How can u call anybody a nas knight (ive never even heard that one before, i'm guessin your some white kid from the suburbs like every other wayne fan) when u dick ride wayne so hard. Pick up Untitled and tell me its not better than the carter 3 lyrically. Fuck that pop shit nigga listen to some real hip-hop while you at it. Here's a couple classics for ya
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)-Wu-Tang
Reasonable Doubt-Jay-Z
Illmatic-Nas
Hard to Earn-Gang Starr
Any Slick Rick u can possibly find
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx-Raekwon Just to name a few.
And please don't tell me you do listen to any of this already cus you wouldn't be on Wayne's nut sack (at the very least) as hard as u are on these forums
hmmm young apex... first off this is an article about nas.. and yet the stans still feel they need to mention lil wayne. I noticed that you said he is the best rapper alive after talking about sales... BIG MISTAKE
we all know that a rappers talent or skill is hardly gauged on how many albums he has sold but since YOU wanted to.....
the marshall mathers LP sold 1.76 million in the first week (shit on c3), then the Eminem show sold 1.3 million the first week (will shit on c4(?))...
also the marshall mathers lp went diamond.. yes diamond...
eminem is one of three people to have hip hop albums go diamond (biggie and mc hammer are the other two), something lil wayne could never hope to accomplish.. why am i talking about eminem you ask? i dont know, why did you bring up wayne and his not as great as you think sales..
the moral here is never bring up sales in a rap conversation unless you are talking about eminem. He has sold more than any other living rapper.. and its not like he has outsold them by just a little bit.. he completely shits on them...
"BUT WHATS "180,OOO" TO "A MILLI"" -young apex
yea thats cool but....
BITCH, WHATS "A MILLI" to 10 million???
OHH YEAH NOW TRASH MEE NASIR-KNIGHTS (A.K.A. NAS DICK RIDERS)..LMAO
That makes u a wayne dick rider then.
I'm happy nas took wayne of the #1 spot, nas deserves to be on top. BUY NAS ALBUM OVER T.O.S.
I like Nas's numbers...
No radio play, no sing-songy hooks, not even real video play.
Which means no stans, females, or more importantly... Dumbed Down Kids buying his shit.
So with all of that said... 187 is a solid and quite remarkable number!
~Be Eazy!
lmao thats not an accomplishment..waynes album came out over a month ago
if it didn't go number one it would just be sad
lmao...damn yall some nas stans..no radio or video play..if you went to any internet hip hop site there was a nas song..his videos get played..i don't watch bet and when i did i saw hero..and his song is on the radio..ppl just wasn't requesting it like crazy..but i heard hero and sly fox many times
he had singles for the album..they just weren't "smash hits"..who are you blaming for that
180,000 is not good for a legend..plies sold 280,000
Without a smash hit single, or a catchy club banger<<thats an excuse. if his songs were hot they would have been, since many of you believe he's the g.o.a.t.
at the end of the day..a legend should be selling more than 180,000..thats very low..i'd call it a flop
@ raiseup..this article mentions wayne
and what makes waynes album sells good is he did them in 2008 the year of the downloading and leaks and ipods
if nas would have dropped this exact album around when eminem dropped his he would have sold a mil.
i doubt any rapper can ever get a diamond album again..its too many limewire users out there and bootleggers
i cant wait til the next eminem album..i love his music
but it won't sell as much as his old ones just because it's 2008
but it would sell a lot because everyone is ready for him to come back
even though i hated that akon shit..smack that..the worst song ever made
you cant compare 2004-present album sells to past-2003 albums
i checked billboard top 100 no where 2 b found weezy carter 3 still #1 naas tight but he past his time weezy better now when yall gonna realize that yall jus heard wayne so much yall tired of him cuz i remember everybody thought he was the best with the carter2 dedication 2 drought 3 now yall jus changin sides n shit
am I seriously the only person that heard that "I feel like dying" track, that bullshit IS NOT HIP HOP
yall ever seen bumfights? lil wayne is like bling bling off of bumfights
this is bling bling
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ezxSuT3Gh0Y&feature=related
and this is the same thing weezy style
http://youtube.com/watch?v=edVj9AkPzCs
YO I THOUGHT NO1 COULD TAKE DAT SPOT FROM WAYNE....BUT IM GLAD OUT OF ALL PPL IT WAS NAS CUZ HE DESERVES IT
In the words of Flavor Flav: "Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah boyyyyyyyeeeeeeee!"
HOW MANY PEOPLE POSTING ACTUALLY PURCHASED THE ALBUM??? (I copped 2, which was less than my 4 of HHID but oh well.)
YAY im the no. 1 nasir knight (LMAO) and i mentioned him ONCE in my entire post... you should have called me a shady sucker or something... idk..
all i was saying is you want to talk about sales... and at the same time, really at the end of the day, i wouldnt bet on nas coming behind weezy in career sales.. to be honest wayne seems almost like a fad to me.. and nas is the truth... i mean, whenever your base audience is in middle school, (my 13 year old sister and her friends think hes the greatest) there is a good chance you arent going to be around as long as you think...
and when its all said and done illmatic is better than lil wayne's greatest hits
^^^^ i dont think he really needs to soak it all up.. when you have been there five times, you know what it feels like
dats funny apex dat u called me a nas dick rider while you is ridin on Lil Gayne's dick.
jump off wayne's dick. CARTER 3 SUCKED!!!
this should be a disapointment if ur a nas fan
plies sold more them him in his first week ...sad
nas is music is dead not hip hop
hold up, Nas sells 187K whilst 50 sells around 150K thats like 30K-40K diffrence yet ya'all be hating on fif calling him a flop for not selling 400k plus, ya'all Defsounds "Souljas" hate on fif for no reason! congrats to Nas all the tracks on that album were fire so was TOS apart from "Kitty"
sorry for bringin 50 up but it had to be stated!
i listen to almost every East-coast - West-coast rappers so i aint biased no stan no dick rider just stating he obvious! sorry south, but ya'all only got Luda, TI, Scarface, UGK, Jeezy and Buck prolly a few i forgot and no waynes not one of em
apex, britney spears sold more than weezy. so shes a better rapper.
he might have been #1 but he had no competition and he was far less than his last album..he won't reach gold this year!!
No need to comment! Just Bow Down and call Nas the "Lyrical King"
Yea I'm proud of Wayne too guys. After his sixth try (after 9 years in the game), he finally dropped a #1 album. Woooooooooo!! Wayne 4 life!
that's what im saying..not an accomplishment
i would consider Hero to be a smash hit cause that shit slapped...
but that's just my opinion
me too..it def. got play
i think it was a smash single
keep it coming nas!
Finally someone beat wayne and i knew it was going to be nas to do it
finally..
KEyword Finnally
hahahaha u dudes are funny, i guess so wayne been out for almost 2 months wow wut an accomplishment, wayne will be back at #1 next week dummies
scoop good point wayne will sell more than nas next week!!!as far as i'm concerned that album flopped hard..1st week only 187 that means he won't go gold for at least 6 months!! if he lucky...
Hell Yeah and G-unit only did like 107,000 on their first week.. It just goes to show that people buy Good music without all the media hype.. If you dont have this album go cop it, If you do.. Track 13 it.. Ya'll My Niggas..
Exactly good music sells regardless. N.I.G.G.E.R (track 9) is my shit. That beat is bananas.
^Yeah i like how they tweaked beat a little bit on the album version cus i bumped the shit when it leaked to death. More artist should do that.
hell yea tht Slave and Master is Nice" fav track!! both versions...lol
nas had allllll the controversy in the world!!! ..media hype??? lmao
everybody been waiting on this album
took lil wayne from number one 50 couldn't do that. what goes around comes around 50 said he will never be number one again and 50 didn't even make number one. sucess is the number one get back.
nas deserves it
whateva look how long it took.... wayne out sold dude in one day what he did in a week... i have made respect for the boy nas but come on, if you a real fan you cant respect that as a win over weezy. that still a lost really in my book. but congrats to dude its hard to even get those numbers these dayz.
Come on homie. Nas got the #1 spot with real music, not with "lollipop" to cater to the 13 year old females. I'm not knocking Wayne dude did his thing and sold a mill in week 1. But Nas got the #1 spot with real music.
By the way how many #1 albums does Wayne have? O yea 1. When he tops 5 come holla at me. LOL
i agree with you..if nas dropped his album the day wayne dropped his..or even 2 weeks later..he wouldn't have saw #1
he dropped it with perfect timing
damn theres 1.5 million 13 yr old with waynes album?? come on, yall gotta stop putting it on them..grown men def. have his album..go to a wayne show
it's not filled with 13 yr. old girls..18 and up..hella grown men
and if you can't afford it..go to youtube and look at one of his concert vids..those aren't 13 yr. olds..male or female
CUT THE BULL, STOP THE HATE
Damn Da God let Nas nuts breathe.... His album is classic yes but why all the bashing of wayne you just add fuel to his flame if you havent noticed
Money Da Don let my nuts breathe nigga. I was just addressing the dudes comment. I didn't bring it up. I didn't bash Wayne at all, I was stating facts. Would Wayne sell a mill w/o "lollipop"?? My point exactly. And like I said good for Wayne after damn near a decade in the game he finally got a #1 album. LMAO
Anyway this topic is about Nas.
please Da God nobodies on your nuts. Its just funny to see the niggas who get mad at other niggas when somebody talks about their fav rapper act the same way when i talk shit about YOUR fav rapper. Quite hypocritical actually.
fuck that im buyin more nas albums next week
Congrats to Nas, damn only if he sold more but oh well. I think this album might not go platinum though.
G.O.A.T.
cop that shit twice
thrice!
That's why almost everyone still mentions him as one of the top five m.c.'s - he's nice, period.
Finally someone who deserves it, props Nas, Hip-Hop aint dead no more fellas, Nas gave dat bitch mouth to mouth and shes back!
Album wuz hot, Nas is dat nigga
Album was'nt hott, da shit was Classic!!!, I can't name a corny song on the whole LP.... Bottomline nas gave an album which was filled with substance u listened to it and was intrigued by almost every track, he took chances, I dont knock wayne but his album was'nt a classic, it was good, but not great...and on some real shit Nas album was far from mainstream, niggas sayin Hero was a smash single,c'mon listen to the shit he was talking about it was'nt mainstream at all polow made da beat that might of been da only mainstream shit on the entire album. bottomline numbers don't reflect overall talent, and when it comes to that Wayne can't touch Nas with the empire state building fuck a ten foot pole.....my opinion trash if u want but deep down inside u know Wayne does'nt hjave the lyrical talent to fuck with nas....end
i hope Nas get's a plaque though because he deserve to atleast go gold i was hoping he'd do more than 187,000 but i'm happy for him though yea i mean shit Plies did 243,000 or something like that so Nas deserves more sales than fucking Plies
Have you heard Testify. He pretty much said fuck haven fake ass fans, he'll just go gold.
the albums a classic. go cop that shit and listen to some GOOD music, hollaaaaaaaa
your a) under 18
b) from the south
c) a jay-z cum swapper
d) all of the above
im by no means a lil wayne stan or a nas fanatic but they're both in my personal top 5... nas definitely has the better finished product..not to say that I'm not still bumpin tracks off the C3... but Untitled is a bonafide classic. DUDE KILLED the performance on Colbert Report!!! that shit was hilarious and awesome at the same time. UNTITLED!!!
tight work by Nas....Cd is fire
Well Hip Hop isnt Dead but Album Sales for hip hop are. If Lil Wayne sells over a million copies the first week with a medicore cd overshadowed by great beats and Nas sells less than 1/5 of that with another Classic album something is wrong.
That's real talk people don't won't to hear anything real they just wan't a beat and a catchy hook that they could sing too.
untitled is defenitley a classic he spits fire on every song i suggest everyone cop it 1, 2, 3, and 13 are my favorite tracks off it REAL RECOGNIZE REAL SO GO OUT AND BUY THE REAL AKA NAS
Why are so many people dick riding on wayne even 50 said he could of sold that many with t.o.s. if he pushed it back for 10 months and that cd is fucking garbage your dumb to say weezy is better then the "N" untitled is a better cd then the carter 3 and why like someone who says he is a blood bought himself into the gang and throws shots at the crips on a record and some crips stole that d00d tyga's shit for that so dwayne carter is garbage he would still be saying drop drop drop like its hot without gillie da kid so get off that mans nut sack already
At least someone sees what I been seeing for the past year. wayne ain't nothin but a walkin publicity stunt with no talent.
why are you mad that wayne improved..gillie or no gillie he got better..some ppl like the before gillie wayne better than this one..didn't nas tell jay-z to slow down..everyone needs improvement
wayne was a teenager..thats like not letting jd make lil bow wow better
even 50 said?? he cant even talk about album sells nomore
im glad the people came out and supported the nas joint. he does it 4 the people. we got 2 support real hiphop. we cant even compare the wayne album 2 the nas album. weezy is offically a pop artist, just like kanye. u cant sell over a milli in your first week unless white kids luv u. white kids cant understand nas' message or mission.
