''The Nacirema Dream'' is the debut studio album by American rapper Papoose. After many delays over the years it was released on March 26, 2013, by Honor B4 Money Records and Fontana Records. The album features guest appearances from Mobb Deep, Erykah Badu, Jim Jones, Jadakiss, Remy Ma, Mavado, DJ Premier and Ron Browz among others. The album was supported by the three singles "On Top of My Game" featuring Mavado, "What's My Name" featuring Remy Ma, and "Get At Me" featuring Ron Browz. Upon release the album received generally positive reviews and debuted at number 97 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200. == Background == On August 24, 2006, his official website announced that he had signed with Jive Records in a deal worth $1.5 million. He also announced for the first time an album to be called ''The Nacirema Dream'' ("American" spelled backwards) was in the planning.〔''Hip-Hop Connection'', October 2006.〕 However, in September 2007, DJ Kay Slay revealed that he and Papoose had left Jive, commenting that they had "almost () victims of A&R hell." This was due to Jive wanting Papoose to be a more commercial artist. He would say, "The business part and the politics of the game kinda got in the way. A lot of people were hitting me with ideas about doing this and that and got in the way. I can't really blame them, I blame myself for letting it happen." In December 2009 DJ Kay Slay would confirm the album was still coming. In March 2012 when Papoose was asked if he would change the name of the album he responded with "This isn’t just an album for me. This is my life story. This is how I grew up in this country. The title of my album is Nacirema Dream. “Nacirema” is the word “American” spelled backwards. Some people get up to go to work. Some people hustle. People come from all different corners of the Earth, risk their life getting here in search of that American dream. My struggle growing up in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, being successful in the music industry, and going through all the trials and tribulations I went through in my life - Nacirema Dream is a reflection of that. I can’t change my face when I look in the mirror. I can’t change my album title. This isn’t just an album title for entertainment. This is real! It won’t be changed. It’s definitely going to come out under that title." Papoose has described the album as a "New York style album".〔 The album according to Papoose details his struggle and is his life story. Some of the concepts of songs on the album date back to his time when he was with Jive, but all records have been updated and everything has been remixed and remastered and changed around.〔 The album will contain 20 tracks with two skits. The tracklist was revealed on February 23, 2013.
