Nas has pushed his controversial untitled album release date back again to July 15th. We actually think this is a good thing because Nas was going to compete with 50 Cent and G-Unit's release of Terminate on Sight. T.O.S. and Untitled were both being marketed against each other and scheduled to be released on July 1st. We attended a T.O.S. album listening session for Terminate on Sight. We determined that it is a street record while Nas is hip hop with a message. Nas deserves the room to release his album without the G-Unit rivalry. We are still very excited to hear Nas' untitled project. Click here to listen to Hero featuring Keri Hilson and produced by Polow Da Don. Another Nas track leaked called Black President.
A DJ played a new track called "Fried Chicken" but we aren't sure if it is going to be on the official album. Listen to Audio: Nas Ft. Busta Rhymes - Fried Chicken
Nas debuted his new controversial music video for the song "Be A Nigger Too". Check out the cinematic video below if you missed it.

Though he initially held firm in his choice of album title, Nas eventually caved after major retailers including Wal-Mart threatened to refuse to stock the CD in their stores. Now, instead of Nigger being the album title, Green Lantern has partnered with Nas to release The Nigger Tape, a mixtape preview of the controversial album once titled with the same name . "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans," Nas said in a statement to the media. "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 a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it." Polow Da Don produced the first single, "Hero." The album will also include appearances from Jay Electronica, Busta Rhymes, Mark Ronson, and Cool & Dre among others. source
