It's racist.
That's really original.
FIRSTTTTTTTTT.
wowzers. i agree perez
WOW, I agree= powerful imagery
Re: Daniel – "It's racist." Actualy it is HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!! crack a history book and learn something
seriously…what's up with the blatant racism?
************************************************************************************when we are in office your white bitch backs will look like that!!!!!
Brilliant imagery. This is the NAS that I know and love. When he made the decision to name his album N-R, I was extremely disapointed by his lack of respect for African-American history. This new album cover and name pays homage to what is a difficult, but triumphant story in history. Well done.
Wow
People have to think once. What happened to Bantus of West African now modern day African American's was by far one of the worst injustices of humanity.
So, let the comments of hatred and the N word come flooding.
is this like a Jesus thing? wtf? I love you Perez!!!!! You are so awesome!!!! Good luck in your life! Love Teddy too!!!
Eh, im not liking it.
Eww chill bumps! Chill bumps I say! I like it!
nas is a tool
Wow thats powerful !!
why do people always pull the race card?! How is this racist?!?! I agree.. its called HISTORY
I'm sorry but why all the racism? Our "white bitch backs" will look like that? The black community is more racist than the white community. My black husband even thinks so. It IS history but not a damn person alive today had anything to do with enslaving anyone. Time to move on.
That picture scares me too
Lol
Ew, looks like maggots are eating his flesh not whip marks
Re: david – Being racist against white people will do nothing to help your cause. I honestly don't see many white people being racist. What I DO see is black people being racist and holding themselves down by going to the streets instead of school. All people like you do is hurt yourselves by spouting bull shit.
love nas, love his messages and music… love the cover… i'd lick his wounds! lol
Chip on the shoulder much? I'll never understand why this keeps coming up… Every race has had it's downfalls and it's trials. Theirs wasn't even the most recent… Move on!
if it's real.. why the fuck..
if it's fake.. what a punk ass wannabe fake ass punk!
take it bitch!!!
OMG that made my stomache turn!! GROSS
45!
looks fucking disgusting
SAD.
Black people perpetuating the nasty stereotype.
Whites and others dont anymore, its all the AFRICAN AMERICAN, BLACK, whatever communities that make them LOOK BAD!
WHO GIVES A FUCK about their color, it is
THE ATTITUDE that sucks.
This DUMB ASS puts an N on his back in fake lashings?
Ok you ignorant shit, then all artists who are jewish should look like Holocast victims and ALL Asian artists should have BOUND FEET!
IT IS A FACT THAT BLACK ON BLACK VIOLANCE and RASISM is worse inside than out!
HE IS ONE IFNORANT C
Now all you "black" folk start your bullshit talk and tell ME what a rasist I am.
Go on, I am sure all of you will step up on your damn soapbox.
GIVE IT UP!
DEAL WITH IT!
OTHER CULTURES AND RACES were subjected to WORSE!
AND- they got over it!
Re: Jackie – excuse me but to tell black people to move on is telling them to forget the plight our their ancestors and ignore the continuous racism we still face til this day. You prob arent black so this racism that i speako f you have no idea about.
Over it..keep beating the dead horse.
GET OVER yourself NAS…this sets us back yet another 30 years…good GOD.
Re: Jamie – BRILLIANTLY STATED! I completely agree.
Re: christ – Get over it…stop living in the past. This cover is total bullshit and does nothing to help black people. I am black and I think this cover is just plain stupid. ITS FAKE…and he was going to call himself a "N—R". Ignorance, just plain ignorance.
Is the black community ever going to mentally proceed beyond the 1800s? The mentality was at the essence of slavery, and it seems that certain people have chosen to retain that mentality. This is an incredibly sick album cover. I hope no one buys this idiotic album, obviously created by a "reverse-racist" who is pathetically victimizing himself even though America has given him every opportunity (including the opportunity to be rich by selling stupid albums).
Re: thissu – I completely agree with you! Nicely put!
WHY CAN"T AFRICAN AMER PEOPLE, STOP CALLING EACH OTHER THAT N WORD, there perpetuating raceism,that's so ignorate,
Re: uh – I agree. Too bad artists that are in the spotlight cant use their position in the public as an avenue to move FORWARD…not backwards. I personally would NEVER buy this album, nor would I support any artist, regardless of color/race who perpetuates racism. How ignorant!
Keep playing the victim.
Shame on him for commercializing a hideous part of African history.
Why did he do it - simple. To get attention and sell more albums. He is further exploiting his own people.
WOW We owe them so much money.White people that is.
That is intense, and takes a lot of courage to have a cover like that. I admire him for it.
You "White Folk" speak about something you know nothing about, until you sit down with your black great-grandmother and she tells you about your enslaved ancestors, and how they were beat and raped, and had their babies stolen from them and used as bait to catch alligators, then u may speak. To Jackie with the "Black" husband, If he feels that way about his people then he's a self hating Uncle Tom and he can gone in the house with Massa!
i tink is wiked awesome!
the holocaust is history too, but you dont see jewish artists make album covers or paintings of jews getting gassed and starved to death.
you are a multi-million dollar rapper NAS… geez the "MAN" is really holding you down keeping you oppressed.
uum i like this but it kinda scres me y r they so much scars on him lol brilliant
BIG DEAL! THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE CALLS BLACKS. YEAH HE'S HAD IT SOOOO HARD IN THIS RACIST SOCIETY MAKING MILLIONS SINGING NURSERY RHYMES TO STOLEN BEATS. REALLY ROUGH. YOU KNOW HE DON'T LIVE IN THE GHETTO NO MO. IT JUST SHOWS HIS IQ LEVEL. IDIOT!
Re: So Eas – and you talked to your great grandmother about that???????? What is she 130 years old you fucking fake bullshiter! You have been smokin too much crack. Typical lyin boone. Just like you have been followed in the stores and pulled over by the police when most don't have cars. Wah wah wah. Turn off Roots and get a job! the Mexicans have already passed by you lazy shmucks. wah wah wah no one cares.
Move the fuck on.
My first thought was it was leaches all over his back. Having trouble getting beyond that first impression.
Since Nas is in fact a very rich, successful man, and putting the scars on his back was his own decision…perhaps his message is that he's beating himself up?
I sure hope when we have President Obama that African Americans will be able to put the past and the past and realize that they can do so much more with their lives than wallow in bitterness.
Re: ryan – Really? seems like that's all we ever see or hear from jews about is the holocust. Every other day there is a memorial put up, a new book or movie etc, on and on and on. You are just blind and don't see outside your relig.
wow y is there a big N of wounds on his back
He obviously still wishes to be a victim of a past no one can change. Sad… he needs counsleing.
Re: So Eas –
No one has ever been treated worse than Native Americans in this country, and until everyone else stops feeling victimized for what happened centuries ago, this country will never move forward.
Looks like Amy Winehouse's neck.
Nas is a multi-millionare just for singing crappy songs–real oppression huh? He should have tattooed hypocrite on his back.
Re: david –
FUCK YOU RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great cover! He would make more money if it released in early 90's where rap / hip-hop, race & character were still in question. I hate how he is trying to make $$$$ by reviving a terrible time in history.
I didn't even know he was ever a slave! He doesn't look that old. Oh, that's right — he's co-opting someone else's pain to make himself seem deep. No wonder hip-hop is so over.
Re: Daniel – really to who????? shut up dumb assss!
If afracian american's don't want the word "n—r" to be thought of as an okay word for people of other racial types to say, mabey it wouldn't be the greatest idea for a a public figure to write it on his back, litteraly. Food for thought.
Re: MmHmm – o shut up he cant sand up for his people???
maybe you need to do some research on your own to see what cause you should fight loooser! or are you to stupid?
Re: Drrr – Yes I have, she knows it because it's been told to her. I'm sorry that you all don't discuss your moonshine history in the trailor parks, with your "MaMa" who's really your sister. Oh and by the way I have a "Phd" in psychology so NO i've never been pulled over in my 2008 BMW, and sorry don't smoke crack, and yes you are right I have been followed in stores, but once I ask for the manager and call them out on it and they see that I'm not ignorant and un-intelligent as you seem to be, all that ceases. I have really lowered myself responding back to you, but "Oh Well What the Hell', so tick that in your meth pipe and smoke it, and don't blow-up the trailor. This is my last response so enjoy……
Re: So Eas – NAS stands for Never A Slave. GET OVER IT.
