For months now there has been anticipation of this particular album from Mr. Jones. Not for the lyrical content, the mind boggling metaphores, witty punchlines, and tracks about the struggle that most of us identify with. Instead the hype is the controversial name that Nas chose for the album, N*gger.(pictured below courtesy of AHH)
I personally question the motivation of this but think it is an ingenious marketing strategy. Any and e'erybody is going to grab that album or at least want to hear what it is about because of the title itself. The image itself is a nice one for Nas I think, more of a businessman/intellectual feel than a block hustler club banging album. But none the less we will see. What do y'all think?
