Nas Gets Down With ‘Nobody Wa s Thirsty’ Project

nas.jpg
Guess Nas just can’t let Jay-Z have the last word, huh? Two years after Jigga teamed up with the U.N. to address the world’s water crisis, God’s Son is now doing his own part to raise funds to provide clean drinking water for impoverished peoples. Take that, Hova!

OK, we kid—Nas’s participation in the Nobody Wa s Thirsty project has nothing to do with rap. The charity was created by Australian denim brand Nobody, in collaboration with Hollywood’s Ivan Kane’s Cafe Wa s and charity: water. Each Nobody T-shirt sells for $60, which is enough to supply two people with clean drinking water for up to 20 years. Check the charity web site this Friday for info on buying the T-shirt. To spread awareness, Nobody enlisted photographer Mick Rock to shoot celebrities wearing the Nobody Wa s Thirsty T-shirt. For images of Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks and a couple other philanthropic hotties rocking the shirt, read on…

When Rap Nepotism Goes Wrong

teamblackout.jpg
“Only 999,790 to go ’til we platinum!”

So, “Team Blackout,” huh? Yeah, the group is a little cheesy and it features JoJo Simmons—son of Reverend Run, star of Run’s House—but c’mon, who can get mad at wholesome rap for the kids? We were totally fine with letting them live…until our inbox was bombarded with emails promoting the group’s Lights Out album, which dropped last Tuesday. Noooooooooope!!!(c) Jim Jones. Time for a lil’ kufi-smacking.

Like Jigga said—men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t. Sadly, Team Blackout didn’t even make the Billboard Top 200 album chart, so we had to hit our homey with Soundscan access to get us the first-week sales. The numbers? 210 units. As in: Two. Hundred. Ten. And that includes copies bought by the Simmons clan. Fuck, we could pull three rugrats off the street and move more units! Still, Team Blackout is hardly the first act to exploit family credentials en route to a failed rap career. We present the top 5 worst cases of rap nepotism below…

Nas: “I Think Kanye West Saved Rap”

nas-lead_edit.jpg
Everyone’s been talking about Nas’s forthcoming album, because, well that’s what people do when the God’s Son preps new material. But this time around it was a little different. Nas’s intention to name the LP N*gger generated a buzz that spread far beyond rap nerds into mainstream media and the political arena.

But after all the drama, the newly Untitled album is finally hitting stores on Tuesday. With the controversey finally laid to rest, we talked to Esco about the brightly-colored fashion shoot he did with Complex that had bloggers catching feelings, his new deal with Fila, rap’s recession, and who he thinks saved hip-hop…

Nas Teams With Polow Da Don On “Hero”

nashero_main.jpg
The kids on the interweb have been talking that shit all day about our latest fashion shoot with Nas (see it HERE), so it’s only fitting that we hit you with God’s Son’s brand spankin’ new single “Hero” as a thank you.

Produced by Atlanta hitmaker Polow Da Don, the song definitely brings back that big glossy feel of “If I Ruled The World.” The new self-titled Nas album ain’t out until July 1, so listen to the official single below.
