"July 1 is the newest date for the release of Nas’s controversial album, Nigger.
It was first supposed to be released last December, then it waspushed back to February so it can connect with Black History Month. But the title of the album caused much controversy that involved Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, and New York assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries. Jeffries called on Universal to change the album title or lose $84 million in state investments. Nas refused. About the controversy around the title of the album, which will still be released under Def Jam, Nas said: “If Cornell West was making an album called ‘Nigger,’ they would know he’s got something intellectual to say. To think I’m gonna say something that’s not intellectual is calling me a ‘nigger,’ and to be called a ‘nigger’ by Jesse Jackson and the NAACP is counterproductive, counter-revolutionary."

Nas - "Be a Nigger Too"
