Nas Escobar Season has begun..cop yours asap
Fact: Nas’ untitled new album, which generated a lot of publicity based on its controversial proposed title (not printable here but referred to as the “N-word”), ended up generating relatively moderate sales of 187,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That was enough, however, to easily take over No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Nas’ last album, also titled after a controversial proposition (Hip-Hop Is Dead), sold 354,000 in its first week in December 2006, but sales are considerably higher in general during the run-up to the holidays.
