Maxim Magazine has got a lot of explaining to do... In their latest issue, the skin mag gave a scathing review of Nas' soon-to-be-released LP entitled "Nigger". They gave the album 2.5 stars. The only problem was that the album hasn't even been released yet. It is tentatively set to be released on April 27th.
At press time, Nas seemed to be annoyed and confused saying, "I don't even understand what a music review by Maxim means. I would only pay attention to reviews from the likes of Playboy Magazine. I mean, the album isn't even complete, I'm still in the studio working on tracks!" I have to say I agree. Maxim is far from reputable. They recently issue a retraction and apology to Black Crowes for doing a bad review on their latest effort, "War Paint". The funny thing is, the journalist hadn't even listened to the album! At least they apologized... I guess.
Anyway, I for one am excited to see what Nas will do with this album. Check out the thumbnail of the tentative album cover below. Enjoy!

This is silly, journalists are supposed to get all the facts before they write any story. It makes sense to have an advance copy of an album before you write a review. We all know that albums can be bootlegged, but this one isn't even out yet. This is disturbing, b/c you know its gone on before, and they are just now getting caught.

ReplyDelete"Nigger"? Wow, Nas is really goin off the deep end with that!
ReplyDeleteHis ignorant ass....
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I think Nas needs more people... Fa real!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I kinda see where he's coming from with this whole "nigger" thing. In the dictionary nigger means ignorant. It does not have a color, so why must we perpetuate the sterotype that it has a color, by only using it in reference to blacks? Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmmmm!
