I wear a mask all day. Hate if you want to, toys, but guess what? it makes for ill album art.
   The Villain admires this album artwork. Innovation in hiphop is a must, even if its makes your skin crawl. Never judge a book by its cover, but there's a lot to be said about an emcee/group that puts some creative effort into their packaging. Whose album art are you feelin'? Does their album live up to their artwork? /DOOMTRANSMISSION |

 Though there are many people who may disagree with me, Street's Disciple was an amazing album. I loved the artwork because it showed the many faces of Nas, that I've come to know, love, and respect. I thought it was extremely creative, too - he recognizes that one man can be many things & he wants his listeners to see that they can, too.

It was excellent from the conceptual standpoint, but I was not feeling how he immersed himself in the idea that he's the Jesus of the streets. I wrote about it a while back, but it got the "n*gga please" award. In his defense, he was very consistent in being Nas. Dude has a gifted mind. |

Buy into the concept then listen to the LP. The album may sound different, better even, if you do so. |

Isn't every solo album you've ever released a concept album? From your persona to the album content; hasn't it all followed that formula? |
