Maxim reviews Nas's new album - even though it's not finished yet!
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 don't know what it even means really."
