Nas Models for Complex: Bad Marketing Maneuver?

In a rather oddball maneuver, Nas gets colorful for Complex.

DrJays.com blog asks:
"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?"

Good question.

For a quick laugh, check the guy in the comments trying to turn this into pointed commentary by Nas regarding the state of hip hop culture.
