Maxim Does It Again!

Filed under: Music Minute

wenn1648929.jpg

Yesterday, we told you how Maxim made up a review for the Black Crowes' new album War Paint without even listening to the album!

They have since apologized.

Now, reports are surfacing that Maxim has done it again, this time with Nas.

The rapper was shocked when Maxim also gave his new album, titled N - - - - r, a 2.5 star review, even though the album isn't even finished yet!

Nas has said, "I'm finishing the album now, and it will be out April 22."

Maxim has apologized for the review, but it doesn't make a difference to Nas. He said, "I'd prefer [a review from] Playboy. That kind of stuff doesn't reach my radar or effect anybody around me. I don't know what a music rating from Maxim is . . . I don't know what it even means really."

Good point!

What's Maxim doing reviewing music anyways????

    34

    Hello, The Greek Giant here in my palatial Los Angeles estate sniffing five lines of pure Bolivian cocaine and chopping five new rails for Nas to snort like a tiny piglet while I pummel his asshole. The impoverished American bums at Maxim cannot afford to purchase CDs and all their wretched "writing" is submitted months before publication therefore they make up reviews. This is why I, The Greek Giant, use a Maxim intern's uncombed head to wipe my ass after taking a Giant dump each morning. That is all.

  35. Lawzy, Lawzy Miss Scarlett There's Coloreds In The White House says – reply to this


    35

    Who would even listen to an album called "N - - - - r"? And Why? An album is for music or the comedic spoken word right? So how the fuck would the word "album" have any association in the formal sense with garbage of the likes of something named "N - - - - r"…???

    as long as your asking…"what the hell are YOU doing reviewing music"…fatty

  37. alliH says – reply to this


    37

    anyone can review music. i love you perez but some people might say the same about you and your involvement in the music industry. I personally love your involvement but it is kind of hypocritical of you.

    Re: The Greek Giant – So what I'm getting out of what you're saying is that you take your poops in the morning time.

    The magazine is a mishmash of stuff to appeal to guys, so they have the obligatory movie and CD reviews which contain little substance other than a passing snarky comment. Like I said, their biggest embarrassment was having quotewhore Peter Hammond review all the movies glowingly.

  41. culln says – reply to this


    41

    maxim sucks. what a terrible magazine with terrible articles and no nudity.
    anyway, they do this with video games as well. they review them way before they're out and even before game sites and magazines get them!!
    blasphemy!!!

  42. RUSH says – reply to this

    FUCK WHATEVER ANYBODY SAYS…

    NAS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. o says – reply to this


    43

    Rumor has it that Maxim is staffed by fat, gay men. Ergo, they are just as qualified to talk about music as you are.

  44. Ryan says – reply to this


    44

    Yeah, Maxim is pretty terrible these days. Especially "Blender," the most pathetic music magazine in existence. Reading those reviews, this news shouldn't come as a surprise.

  45. nanceinyourpants says – reply to this


    45

    maxim is doing the same thing you are when you review music: making an ass out of yourself and the feeble minded people who adhere to your opinions.

    lol he's so true. who gives a shit what maxim has to say

  49. rockoooooo says – reply to this


    49

    Yeah Maxim is a great Mag, but thier reviews are crap, they also review movies that are not out yet that they cannot get screeners for and thier game reviews are the same. The review games that are still being made.

    What the hell is Playboy doing reviewing albums?

  53. Nikk says – reply to this


    53

    PEREZ NEEDS TO MOVE THAT WHITE MARK OFF OF NAS' LIPS! PEREZ YOU ARE BUGGIN MY DUDE! NAS IS ONE OF THE BEST LYRICISTS EVER..ONE OF THE GREATEST RAPPERS. LEARN SOMETHIN ABOUT HIPHOP BEFORE YOU DISRESPECT ONE OF THE FEW LYRICISTS WE HAVE OUT THESE DAYS!

  54. Jughed says – reply to this


    54

    Playboy is actually pretty serious about reviewing jizz - I mean jazz - albums, among other things. They even have a jazz festival 'n shit. As far as I know the only thing Maxim is interested in is selling beer and insulting your intelligence.

  55. Andy says – reply to this


    55

    Nas is the man. I wonder who gets my email address when I have to enter it for the comment. You wouldn't be selling my address to spamers would you perez. peace.

    Barbie, you dumb bitch, if you're going to use Barack Obama's middle name, at least spell it correctly!

  60. beth says – reply to this

    If Nas thinks his review doesn't matter in Maxim, he is naive. We are already aware of the Crowes album "review'. Sometimes "reviewers" make or break an album for a potential listener. They have lied about their whole review process. No part of this is good for the music business!!!!!!!!!!

  61. Jase says – reply to this


    61

    This could be the worst possible name for an album ever. Honestly it's just asking for problems.

  62. shana says – reply to this


    62

    I trust Maxim over music more than I'd ever trust you over music, Perez.

  63. Kari says – reply to this

    NAS: one of the few rapper left with a real message. MAXIM sucks!!

  64. PerezBabyMomma says – reply to this


    64

    i'm not buying his album…

  65. Lovely One says – reply to this


    65

    I am black and I just wanted to give an F.Y.I. Many black ppl are NOT supporting this album. The word is offensive. I do not use derogatory words to describe other races and I expect others to treat me the same. If Ghandi, MLK and countless other leaders couldnt change the meaning of the word, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK NAS TO DO IT?

    WARNING: To say this word, you are asking to get in a physical altercation. Lets just show mutual respect for one another. Please do not buy or even illegally download this nonsense.

    BACK TO THE TOPIC: Maxim has been slipping for a while now.

    66

    Who even fucking reads Maxim anyways?

  67. Eva says – reply to this


    67

    Neither Maxim or Playboy should even rate music, but either way Nas is kinda a loser….no one cares

    The reviewer has a byline , I would assume. Get personal and out this slacker , he\she\it is not going the job AT ALL , much less with style and insight , which is necessary when you critique.
