Kamaal the Abstract Q-Tip/Arista Records
The album was to be released by Arista on April 23, 2002, but was canceled because the record label deemed the album too un-commercial. Q-Tip was quoted as saying: "I am really disappointed that Kamaal wasn't released. LA Reid didn't know what to do with it; then, three years later, they release Outkast. What Outkast is doing now, those are the kinds of sounds that are on Kamaal the Abstract. Maybe even a little more out. Kamaal was just me, guerrilla. — Q-Tip
