my theory is that Nas never planned on naming his album “Nigger,” he just said he would as a PR move, then “had to” change the title, then decided he’d remove the “nigger” theme entirely, including the staple “Be a Nigger Too.” People think Nas isn’t business-smart like that, but it’s not like he didn’t know the attention he’d garner naming an album “Hip-Hop is Dead.” I wouldn’t put it past him at all.

Nah both N!gger and HHID had clear central themes that releated to the title. I dont think its very hard to identify that. Maybe he could have planned the overall feel of both albums a bit better though. This album could have really have done with some of the floating tracks that werent or were on the mixtape.
Rapper Lil Wayne is the latest celebrity to announce his own booze brand. Lil Wayne is partnering with Milestone Brands and French grower Voirin-Jumel to create Halo Champagne. A bottle of the appeared in the video for his song “Lollipop.” The Halo Champagne will be available in four styles, Brut, Brut Vintage, Rose and Halo Pinnacle and will be out this fall. He joins a long list of actors and musicians with their own wine-related projects.
THIS album without GREatest songs on it ! i say joints as Made You Look, Got YourSelf A Gun, One Mic,…so this disc is maybe weak in terms of production in this point of view i agree but maybe A CONTRARIO the more Homogene (after illmatic*)… cuz u have ‘Hero’, the only instru, really on a different way… but the Nas Talk on the whole album is Homogene ! Weight Of Words on this One ! Let me see the furst official video clip to see the shock of photos !! i Hope … BUT i Know !!!

Whats everyone’s feeling about the album then?

well you should get over it. “freestyle” hasn’t been synonymous with “off the dome” for more than a decade.
