:comeon: Did he really expect companies to sell an album titled "N!gger"
Non-black Nas fans would have had an awkward time buying this album if he had kept the name:merchant:

He had a couple albums where he sold units based on shock titles that he failed to explain on the actual album

Lol it would be funny depending on how the black guy takes it but I wouldn't have a problem as the buyer. If they feel someway about it then they can just deal with it lol not like I'm running down the street yelling "****** ****** ******"

Which albums would those be exactly? Certainly not Hip Hop IS Dead where the entire album from start to finish was a chronicle of Hip Hop's rise, fall, and resurrection...

Not ****** (Untitled) where from start to finish Nas explained the African American experience in this country, even breaking down the history of the word itself (Ya'll My nikkas)

So which albums did he not explain the concept?
