Maxim Magazine recently gave Nas’ upcoming album entitled “N*gger” a low rating of TWO and a HALF stars before even listening to all of the album in full…
RAPPER Nas was shocked when Maxim gave his new album, “N - - - - r,” a 21/2-star review - because it isn’t even finished yet. “I’m finishing the album now, and it will be out April 22,” Nas told Page Six. Maxim has since apologized for the premature review, but Nas doesn’t care. “I’d prefer [a review from] Playboy,” the rapper said. “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.” Maxim also reviewed the Black Crowes’ album, “War Paint,” without listening to it in its entirety.

Damn… that’s cold! Maybe they were a bit hesitant to express how they felt about the name of the album, but more power to both of them! It might turn out to be a trend coming from all critics, which might be in good favor for Nas as he will receive more publicity from the media about this album than he expected — even if it is negative publicity.
Michael Jackson is facing the decision of selling his neverland ranch or making a payment of $24.5 million in debt…ÂÂ
Documents show that Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos, California, is scheduled for a public auction on March 19 at Santa Barbara’s downtown courthouse.
But the Jackson source said that won’t happen.
“Michael Jackson’s ranch is not going to be auctioned off at the courthouse,” the Jackson insider said. “The financing is all being worked out.”
“There are plenty of lenders willing to work with him. The real estate market is very bad right now and Jackson is being affected just like many other Americans,” the source said.
The Santa Barbara County Recorder’s Web site lists a “notice of trustees sale” by Jackson and his property lenders, Financial Title Company, filed Monday.

Both Lil’ Wayne and Ja Rule were arrested around the same time for drug and guns possession while on tour. Lil’ Wayne later on faced more drug related problems when officers found more drugs inside of his tour bus. With all of these charges faced against Weezy, he has kept his cool as he feels he is innocent.
Check out what Lil’ Wayne recently had to say in regards to his most recent incident that took place in Arizona:
“Me, personally, I get looked at a little differently by some of my fans and some people, period. I can’t do nothing about that. I can try. … That’s what it get looks at as, you’re just trying. So I don’t try. I just be me. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. But as far as my music, it’s done nothing to my music. Nothing could stop that. I’d have to be brain-dead to stop that. Everybody has incidents, everybody’s human. I made a mistake. I did make a mistake - a big mistake. I made a mistake with that, but things get better. I’ll get better.”
“To this day, a lot of rappers the game be coming up to me, like, ‘Yo, man, you need to be … You gotta be … .’ Don’t tell me. You don’t know what happened. You don’t know what’s going down. I had, like, 15 people on the bus. Who’s to say what’s what? But everybody puts on that black gown and becomes judges, so I’m always guilty.
“If [the police] would have stopped [the bus] that night, and I had everything under control, it wouldn’t have been nothing. I was irresponsible at that time. F- up on my part. No ifs, ands, buts about it. I don’t blame nobody but myself. I can’t blame nobody for not taking my charge. … This is my bus.”

Lil’ Wayne definitely has a lot of fingers pointing at him as he is obviously a serious marijuana smoker but of course, these cases deal with drugs a bit more extreme than just that. Maybe it’s his entourage sniffing those white lines and bringing it on tour with them while riding dirty with Lil’ Wayne… who knows? This could have been the case but that’s not important because these drugs were found on “Wayne’s bus” so he is taking the full load for these accusations.
