Nas took the controversial name off the cover of his next album — due out July 1 — but the photo is still provocative. The image shows the shirtless rapper facing away from the camera, with whip marks on his back in the shape of an “N,” according to Billboard.

Meanwhile, Nas has shot the video for the first single off the album, “Be A [n-word] Too,” billboard.com reports. The black-and-white cut shows him rapping in front of a mirror while images of people of other races appear.
