Thoughts on this? I believe in freedom of speech and expression, but I think it's also disrespectful to use someone else's image or likeness (especially if that person is deceased) to get attention for yourself. This is exactly what Asaad is doing, whether he owns up to it or not. Take a look at the cover and his explanation:

and the "explanation":

You can find this on multiple websites but I first saw it here;

Seriously wtf!

I mean

*Glances @ it again* I'm sorry but

This generation I swear...

He won't get no respect in the hood for this. NO RESPECT. Fucking idiot...

And now he's a household name. This strategy worked for that asshole Lil B too.

In one site I go, people worship that clown like he's Hendrix or something. I don't get it.

Yeah. I read his lyrics online and thought "this is not talent... the fuck?" It's like this generation just picks whoever because they think he's cool or something. Like those Odd Future fools...

SMH... How you gonna do a mixtape cover like this and leave out Diddy giving biggie head? With Craig Mack standing in the corner like

Shock Value works.

First off I think people are more upset b/c Biggie and Tupac were seen as hip hop deities. I frankly don't hold them in that high of esteem, but I see how this can be sacrilegious to fans. I don't doubt that many hard, gangsta rappers may have been gay when they claimed they were not, tho. They are dead I must admit that it seems very insensitive. Also, I'm not saying Tupac and Biggie were actually gay, but ask yourselves, would people be offended if Biggie was replaced Nicki Minaj (if she were dead) or something? No I don't think so. The man who made this the cover of his album did not make any sense in his explanation, he talked about the icon status of the deceased rappers, and how its not a publicity stunt. However, he forgot one thing, why the Fuck did you do it, n!66a? As for the Odd Future atrocity of a rap group, they're basically just another depraved trend for people to latch on to so they can pretend to be "with it" and "deep" since what they're listening to makes no gotdamn sense.

The cover IS a publicity stunt.

Yeah, thats all it can be, its nothing more than that. It's not a commentary of anything, its for fame and controversy. So prepackaged

His fanboys are tragic like they are actually breaking it down on how he's so deep. Eveyone can listen to what they want but don't give Lil B false advertising
