Nas' controversially named new album, "N*gger," has been changed to an untitled project and will be released July 1 via Def Jam.

"It's important to me that this album gets to the fans," the rapper says. "It's been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."

The MC recently told MTV that he was being pressured to change the title and rumors swirled online today that the album would be called "Nas." But it will not be a self-titled affair.

Last year, Nas announced the original title in response to the stir caused by former CBS radio host Don Imus' comments toward the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Nas' last album, 2006's "Hip-Hop Is Dead," has sold 757,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

can't wait to hear it
maybe I'll stay awake
through the last track

I respect Nas & everything
but he's been puttin out
some major snooze

I wonder what color the album's gonna be. It's probably gonna be called "Black", lol.

He better not or WE will be coming to HIS door and spray paint on him AND Kelis for betraying us.





If he calls it "The Rainbow Coalition", Jesse Jackson can be allowed to kick his dumb ass.

i could never take him serious after hearing that one track where he said "she drank fluid from my uretha as Marvin Gaye bumped on my speakers" or something stupid like that.

anyways, he shouldn't be on the cover like that, especially if he didn't earn them.

Dead Prez had the right idea.
