Have you heard
Nigger, the edgily titled latest effort from rapper
Nas? Probably not, as the Queensbridge native
hasn't finished recording it yet. But that minor technicality didn't prevent
Maxim from giving it a two-and-a-half star rating in their March issue. You know what else got the exact same rating in that issue? The Black Crowes' album
Warpaint, which, coincidentally,
Maxim also
didn't listen to before reviewing.
To be fair, the mag did note that Nigger contains some "radio friendly" beats, which is probably true; Nas has indeed recorded a number of singles in his time, some of which have received significant radio airplay!
