Initially, the album was scheduled to hit stores in late February with it's lead single debuting in January.
According to the latest word, the controversial album which has sparked numerous rumors since it was announced has been pushed back indefinitely.
"Nigger" is also a no-show on Def Jam's first quarter release schedule which shows Rick Ross's Thrilla (March 11th), Razah's sefl titled album (March 18th), and Rocko's Self Made LP (March 18th) as the only releases in the forthcoming months.
In a recent interview with XXL, when asked about the possibility of his album getting pushed back, Nas said that if it were to happen, it would be his decision.
"People gotta give me more credit than that. That’s not fair, if I push my shit back, to blame it on somebody. This is me you’re talking about.
This is not somebody that just signed yesterday. This is somebody that’s been in the game a long time, put out a lot of albums. I know what I’m doing.
In other news…
So when I push my shit back, deal with it."

NIGGER ON A CD SHELF??
1st off, fuck Chingy and The Dream. Howeva, Ghostface dat dude, WU-TANG CLAN AIN'T NUTHIN TO FUCK WIT
As for nas, PLZ don't push ur album back, I resvered a copy of dat album n I've been watin 4 SO FUCKIN LONG 2 grip my hands on it
he hasnt got a radio single out in time for a March album release.. he needs some more hype to the album to boost sales
welk...this album so far is gettin detoxed...wonder if detox is ever comin out...
but nas does have a point on when he says he knows what he's doin...he had a successfull career so guess we gotta trust him on this....but im still mad its not comin out
they just need to stop coming up wth release dates unless they are 100% sure.
oh well, it'll still be good whether its out this month or April/whenever.
fuck man i thought late feb was too far..damn man can we at least get a single..niggaz tryna hear some hiphop not the bullshit thats out right now...iv heard some nice albums but im waitiung for this nigger nas
Method man second album got pushed back for a year and a half. After record stores were already reserving copies. He said that he wasnt happy with it until it was finished. When it finally dropped it was worth it.
Cant blame a nigga for wanting to tighten up his album. Especially not a nigga like nas. Plus with the huge strain on the record industry right now he could be waiting for a more artist-friendly month like may.
damn it was supposed to be dropped in feb for black history month.. that was supposed to be special.. if it dosent thats fucked up...
Your actually an idiot.
lol DIY lynching
Wow, you might have something here
"If I push my album back...DEAL WITH IT!"

I'm fine with it being pushed back. We got it 4 cheap has to have time to bump. SO its cool. Wait be patient, let an artist create. Nas has not disappointed in almost a decade. Relax...
question??? who will we hear first Detox, Nigger, or Carter III. its a 3 head race....pause
1st-nigger
2nd-carter III
never-detox...haha jk...i'm sure we'll get it eventually...it's just that for dre everything has to be perfect...
This why I bootleg in the first place....Damn fool stick to the release date!!! I done had to wait for detox for like 7 years now!!! Enough is enough!!! I guess I'll have to wait for some tracks to leak out...
I hope Nas knows wat he's doing
fuck nas anyhow he's a half ass rapper
who ever like his music should die slow
what are you retarted illseed??? who teh fuck you like? flo rida or some wack nigga like that.. if you don't like nas then you don't like good music
hahaha illseed i think we all know that u bullshittin so cut out the shenanigans lol
Illseed ur sarcasm iz startin to annoy me cuz i don't knnow whether u serious or not.
lmao...
I could care less if it's pushed back, if the album is worth it, then I don't mind waiting longer to get it, just make it a banger when it does come out.
dont mind the pushback on the release date. the anticipation is so high right now you dont want to ruin a possible classic just to get it out in time. dont think it will be regardless, just dont feel the guy that much.
i can wait for a classic....
Some nigga be crying over this? To itll b hot ass cd but nothing to cry about grow the fuck up
whenever it come out im def buyin it nas is the man
knowing Nas he probably pushed his own album back.
i hate it when artists push their cds back but if its better than it would be if it was released now then i guess it will be worth the wait
"straight out the fucken dongon of rap were fake nigga don't make it back"
ill buy two copys
his album wont drop plain ND simple.
Damn....I waz lookin forward to smokin a L and bouncin to dat...nigga done say deal wit it!
kinda ironic how a word so allegedly detramental to the face of a race, is now being glorified by a member of that same and using it to get paid... next time you hear a white dude poppin' off droppin' the n-bomb, send a thank you card to your man NAS.
Damn iz dis shit ever gon come out Let da nigga free lol
WHOS NAS' NIGGER?
i dont c what the fuck is so controversial; its okay for niggas to call themsleves niggas in their raps but not in their labelling?
plus its Nas u kno he got a concept behind, he just droppped hip hop is dead wit a message to it shiit. ud think they know by now
I dont give a fuck what the name of his album is I just want to hear somthin new and tight and Nas usualy delivers.
Have people completely forgotten about Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2? I've been wating like 3 years for that shit. Every year Rae says its comming out, and what happens? No Cuban Linx 2.....
yea i kno what u mean men, release dates are like promises u recieve from yo niggas; it aint go happen for a while (still waitin on curren$y music to fly to)
