Black Bastards (or Bl_ck B_st_rds) is an album by KMD (a rap trio featuring an early alias of MF DOOM), released in 2001 through ReadyRock. Initially, the album was scheduled for release in 1993, but Elektra Records canceled the album, reportedly due to the controversial cover art, which shows a Sambo figure being lynched, and its black nationalist, Five-Percenter lyrics.
