Dr. Pepper tells Nas that he CAN'T be a Nigger Too...

If beng forced to change the title of the album wasnt enough, the first song released off of the LP had to be scratched from the album completely because the people at Dr. Pepper wouldnt clear the sample. Here's the full story by Illseed at AllHipHop.com:

This was sent to me from some of my elite intel. Remember Nas’ “Be A N****r” too? Yeah, the one with the video. Well, that record has been dumped from the album that has no name. It didn't make the album because Nas and his people couldn't get the sample in the beat cleared. Isn’t that something? But it gets even deeper from what I understand. I don’t know that you all know, but the hook of the song is actually borrowed from a jingle of soft drink soda “Dr. Pepper.” Yea, the original hook said, “I’m a Pepper, He’s a Pepper…wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too.” Well, Nas essentially replaced “Pepper” with “N****r” and that was a “no-go” for the people over at Dr. Pepper. They refused to let Nas use the hook melody, because of the N-Word in the music. At any rate, I heard the album is really impressive. I don’t think that one song is going to affect that anyway.
