Nas’ New Album Cover + Ursh Covers VIBE
Nas‘ new album cover is out and it looks like he’s trying to still relay the same message as his previous title “N*gger” did. Apparently the new name is Nas, not Nasir like previously reported.
Thanks ICE
Here’s Usher’s July VIBE cover:
Sigh. So…..we’re really about to get the truth about boy bands?

I think the boy bands article will be “interesting”. I know that the boys from Immature have lived in Africa for the last ten or more years and are still performing to some degree. Their vibe is TOTALLY different now as they’re pretty immersed in the culture there.

He is already fine as hell, but then on top of that he has awareness and intellect and that makes him soooo much sexier. However, I LOL’d at Usher’s cover. It seems so desperate.

No I think the group you’re referring to is “The Boys”. They sang the song “Dial My Heart.” I used to LOVE them. That’s the group with Hakeem who was my favorite back then. They live in Africa now. Immature, another favorite of mine lives in L.A.

On May 30, 2008 at 9:39 am | Reply | Quotewhatever statement nas is making w/his album cover and the whole theme of the album has been comprimised imo b/c “re-claiming” and politicizing the use of the N word is still as of 5/30/08 not intelligent or valid to me. now as a black woman i’m used to hearing it from some black men i know and all my favorite rappers use it but to title your album that was just gratuitous and irrisponsible. there are better ways to get attention/spread a message nasir. no thank you!…Re. the Vibe cover; that’s a cute way of giving anti-tameka/married Usher ppl the finger too…

HOLA KAYKAY! Nas has lost MAJOR points with me. I know he is trying to be different and stuff but making the “N” word apart of everyday language is not a good look. I understand totally what he is trying to do but I cant support him on this one.

On May 30, 2008 at 9:45 am | Reply | QuoteIf Nas says the N word at least one time in any of his songs, then his cover is condescending!!!! Our people did not go thru slavery, segregation, civil rights for this piece of bull crap he is trying to feed us!

I think if Nas had just done what he was going to do without generating all the hopla first he would’ve been able to make his point. I do think the current album cover is just as effective IMO

I realized that he was vastly more mature than men who I’ve dated that are either my age or older(sad, I know). So, yep, I’ve done the “tender roni” thing myself.

He has always been the one to push the envelope and make u think…Anyone who is 25 years and older and respects the relevant part of Hip Hop understands this cover….I mean damn we are reduced to Lollipop and Superman that hoe….But some of u think that is music…please…..
Go Nas!!!! I am definately copping the album, i have been riding with him from day one….Stimulating my mind is what it is all about…

On May 30, 2008 at 10:08 am | Reply | QuoteI’m very Proud of NAS. He’s doing what he has to do to get his message to so many people who are brainwashed, ignorant and uneducated. Not just to us Black People, but to all kinds. I have read many comments from some who say, “the cover is nasty” and they’re regurgitating from the sight of the cover. If you knew of the true history and strength behind those lashes, you would praise NAS for making this powerful move. This cover says, “I will not forget!! I refuse to forget”.
It’s funny how so many strive to remember “their His-story”, instead of their own.
This society wants us to forget where our roots and strength came from and what our ancestors have been through. Don’t foget! REMEMBER is what this cover is telling you!

On May 30, 2008 at 10:12 am | Reply | QuoteI’m getting over USHMEKA more and more everyday. He didn’t marry a celebrity or even anyone interesting. His marriage seems fake and the more he acts like a little school girl, the more fake it seems. On TRL, he went down a list about whats NOt true about her but he let out what IS true. OK. She aint 40- she 39. She has more kids than he has grammys. She used to be the “set out chick” to the Oakland Raiders defense. She was sleeping with him through two relationships while she was married. She was sleeping with him and her husband during the time she “conceived”- somebody call Maury. His mom hates her guts. So, Ush, you and your virtuous woman deserve each other and NOBODY cares. We feel sorry for you actually. WOOOSAHHH!
