Nas is expected to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts this week, giving his latest album, which is untitled, some headlines that won't focus on the controversy surrounding it.
Originally tipped to be titled an unprintable word, Nas eventually opted to go without a title at all, bringing to an end months of hype for the impending controversy. But it was far from the first album to inspire debate for something other than its music.
Even the Beatles ran into trouble for some non-musical purposes. This so-called butcher cover of "Yesterday and Today" was recalled soon after its release and is a valuable collector's item today. Here's a look at what would be some other prime eBay finds.

I'm going to Chicago in a week for the biggest, badest, bestest fest this summer. The best part? Free entry (I'm volunteering) and free sleeping (thanks sister).
