That’s not Kanye West pictured above – it’s Nas.
The images are from ‘Colorful Language’, Complex’s new style feature on Nas and his upcoming ninth album.
In terms of marketing, do you think Nas should have modeled for an unlikely shoot like this when he’s trying to make a very serious statement about race with his upcoming album?
Speak on it!

Nas is being real comical about that! If no ones what he is doing, he is making a point about things! Everyone knows that Nas doesn’t even dress like that and his new album is titles N*gger! Nas is basically letting everyone know, hey look at what they are doing to us and our culture; that is not how we are, that is not how the culture is even though there are many facets and styles do it but that is not the center of it or the essence of it! GET IT?
i dont think hes trying to make a statement at all….
except that he looks like kanye west in this ****
“keep it gully” nas
nas seems to be on some bs overall
WACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Nas Models for Complex: Bad Marketing Maneuver?…

Confused me there for a minute. Carharts and Timbs is what I would have had in mind for Mr. Nasir but oh well ….. he still one the top 5 rappers of all time by far… just let him do him …. I guess…
ProHipHop: Hip Hop Business, if you are from the site! I checks it daily! Thanks for it! Also, like I mentioned above in my response, I said the same thing! People are so blind but I’m letting you know right now and this is my word the Music and Fashion Industry is about to embrace a dramtic change!
its fresh, but not something i wanna see outta Nas
i honestly have no comment on this
like n.w.a said…express yourself. say no more. one love to nas. cant wait fot tha album to drop………..
WORD.. IM WAITING FOR THA ALBUM TO DROP.. IMA O D ON IT,.HAHA
i really hate colored jeans but his album is FIYAA!! go cop it.
HIP HOP IS A BUSINESS AND FOR ONE NAS IS VERSATILE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO, SAY OR WEAR. SO THIS DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS ALBUM PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BUY IT REGARDLESS HE COULD SO A SHOOT FOR PLAY GIRL AND IT WOULDNT CHANGE ANYTHING LOL. 100
straight up weird pics specially wen nas is doin it weeeerrrdd
Nas has proven time and time again he’s simply not that smart. People give him too much credit. Thing is though I think when he does stuff he generally has the best intentions. Just most of the time things are poorly executed. Like this album thing really turning around. If anyone had any sense they would’ve put that mixtape out first and promoted that sub surface then released the album. He spends half a year talking about a **** album that won’t even be called ****. The **** is real bogus.
yo i think that he’s just making a statement, wheres the fun if u have a boring cover, nas always has a good msg his fans know that and will continue to buy his stuff, but he hasta attract new listeners. also in case none of u noticed (haven’t read the above posts yet) hes breaking glass, metaphor?

hate it
Yo, its NAS! He aint tryin to be no Kanye West! He’s one of the illest M.C’s to bless the mic…He can wear colors if he wants and he can pull it off…its just another side of this half man half amazing M.C……..at the end of the day, if he would to walk on a stage, everyone would go bananas no matter what he puts on…he did a photo shoot. . .relax …he’s not bounded to one style, come on now…..its NAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DIG IT. HE TRYIN SOMETHING NEW. ON PHOTO SHOOTS U CAN TRY ANYTHING. N I DON’T THINK HE IS BITIN KANYE’S STYLE. NAS IS JUST BEING CREATIVE AND UNIQUE SO HIS CHOICE OF CLOTHING IS JUST MATCHING HIS MUSIC.
