Nas Is The Latest Artist To Feel The 2 1/2-Star Sting Of Maxim's "Educated-Guess Previews"

Based on Nas's output as of the past few years, I'd probably give it even less than two and a half stars, honestly.

And this coming from a Nas fan.

Does anybody remember when SPIN ran Klosterman's "Chinese Democracy" review two years ago as an April Fool's gag? I think that was Sia Michel's final issue. Anyway, perhaps these Maxim blurbs are just elaborate, not remotely clever April Fool's jokes. Or publicity stunts.

@HONEYBFLY: Maybe it won't be a hip hop album, then. Maybe it'll be classical.

Also, Maxim's Sept 2008 issue is mediocre at best.

$20 says everyone who "wouldn't be caught dead reading that piece of shit" has no idea whether it's actually good or bad because they've, you know, never read it. (Like me!)

Like I said before, the only cultural impact this album will have is the press surrounding its release. Isn't it Nas who claimed Hip Hop is dead? If that's the case, why is he still trying!?

I don't see why people are all up in arms about him naming the album, Tigger anyway. Are A.A. Milne's lawyers really that hardass?

Nasir Jones, you are all right in my book, sir.

And good lord (and aaamen, SuperUnison), can we give the guy a break? Can't a Nas album be great without constantly being compared to Ilmmatic?

So I guess he won't be pissed when "Celebratard Wank Mag" and "Body Spray Aficionado" dis his new one for not being as good as "Illmatic"?

I'd be okay using it line my rats' cage, but only because they're hipster bitches who would think reading it (and subsequently defecating on it) is ironic and fun.

Actually...

I can't even read that magazine on the crapper anymore, unless of course I'm in desperation and out of t.p.

that magazine is dribble-piss. i wouldn't even use it to line my rabbit's litterpans with for fear they would be offended by it's mediocre writing and lack of necessity in the world.
