Kamaal the Abstract was an unreleased album by rapper Q-Tip, which was to be released by Arista on April 23, 2002 but was canceled due to the fact that the record label deemed the album too "un-commercial."[citation needed]
The album's advances were released, however, therefore making any copies of said promotional items sought-after collector's items.
The album is composed of mostly groovy live instrumentation, reminiscent of full-length albums by Stevie Wonder and Prince, and is widely praised as a solid effort wrongfully restrained. It is considered to be highly superior to his previous solo effort, Amplified.
In 2006, Q-Tip announced he was in negotiation to regain control of the album from Arista, and is going to be re-released in 2007
