On Wednesday (July 2) Nas experienced the inevitable leak of his upcoming Untitled album -- formerly titled Nigger -- a full week and a half before its set release date.
It started with multiple songs from the album popping up across the blogosphere. By the end of the day, every song from the album was leaked, one by one.
How it happened? No one exactly knows, but maybe it was done on purpose? In a response to the leak, Nas responded in a video upped to YouTube, and he didn't see too angry about it.
"You know we get leaks. You know I'mma get leaked forever, and it's so f***in' exciting," he stated before walking out of view from the camera.
Whether Nas or his label leaked it purposely or not is unknown. How it will affect Nas' albums sales, however, remains to be seen.
