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. |

I'm biased though, I think Nas is one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time, he's runner up with Tupac for me. I don't call him a rapper, I think he's the music industry's greatest poet today. Everything he does is great to me. |
