a week after announcing he will rename his controversial Nigger album to simply Nas, word has spread that Nas is scheduled to team up with DJ Green Lantern to drop a mixtape titled The Nigger Tape.

“I guess it shows you the power of Wal-Mart and Target,”Green Lantern told Rhapsody’s Play
blog
. “If that was the case, it’s definitely scary because it kind of fucks with your artistic vision.

But Nas and DJ Green Lantern are coming out with a mixtape called The Nigger Tape. Can’t nobody hold that back.”

The tape will feature remixes, outtakes, exclusive tracks, and also an unreleased verse from Nas‘ recently released “Be A Nigger Too.” A new version of “The Last Real Nigga Alive,” originally a track on God’s Son, is also expected to to be on The Nigger Tape.

As previously reported by HipHopDX [click to read], Nas initially was to title his next effort Nigger,
as announced during a New York performance at Nokia Theater last year.
After hearing the uproar of both positive and negative feedback, he
then decided to change the album’s spelling to the more eyebrow-raising
Nigger.
Although he was supported by Def Jam Records Chairman L.A. Reid as well as then-president (and former foe) Jay-Z,
many large-scale retailers including Wal-Mart said they would boycott
the album and refuse to stock it on their shelves , thus forcing Nas to fold and change the controversial title.

Nas‘ newly self-titled album is tentatively slated to drop July 1st.
