First Single: TBD
Sales Pitch: "I'm still there with Dre making the greatest album of all the time. My first album was a classic. Thisone is about upping the ante and making something better than a classic - on my own."

All these albums sound dope and some of them have already dropped what do you think?
 
:cry: @ Luda's album being called RELEASE THERAPY!!! This next album will be his last one on his Def Jam deal. 5 album in about 6 years, and he's done nothing but INCREASE his popularity every year. Now his is a great career model!

I'm sure there is a HUGE BIDDING WAR going on to sign him. And I'm sure Luda is gonna end up being one of the highest paid rappers, and will be able to negotiate some CRAZY terms (like ownership of masters or something ridiculous like that) just because he's at the height of his career.


But Blood Money sucked. King is above average. I can't WAIT for The Roots and Busta to drop. I wanna see what Game and Nas are gonna have to offer.
 
Games album will be straight up wack, sounds like its gonna be full of bytches with annoying hooks, him trying to prove he's the "best" lol. Nas's album is gonna be wack. Camron's album should be solid like always. Blood Money has alot to offer. Outkast will have a album, I wont buy it. T.I. has a strong album, probably 3rd best. Ghostface's first single is called "Back Like That". Hmm. nuff said about that. BUSTA! Wow, he has all the best producers plus an amazing guest list, should be a big album. Ludacris's album..., umm, I dont care. Roots?, I dont care.

Dawg, dont try to tell me what to listen to.
 
lol @ Mobb Deep

Game and Nas should be switched.

Busta? Blah...
 
Wow these kids nowadays amaze me.......they say roots, outkast, nas, n ghost are sorry but love the new Mobb Deep n Cam. Sad, but half these cats were still in pull-ups when "Do You Want More?!!!??!" "SouthernPlayalisticadillacmuzik" or "illmatic" was playin....listen to those albums n then say they wack
 
I'm gona buy camron new cd. Blood money was the worse mobb deep cd. I hope nas do his thing. I love roots and even if you some one don't like them you just gotta respect questt love on the drums. Gotta cop game cd, his last cd was one of the best production albums out in a while. Outkast always shows me how stuck in box a lot of the rap game, that will be a good pic up.
 
Let the kid listen to what he wants. I personally think Nas is wack. Ghostface killer was never all that great, but at least he didn't walk around and act like he's Gods gift to earth like Nas. Ghostface will even say that he isn't the best rapper, but Nas on the other hand trys to act like his **** don't stink. Same with Jay-Z Cam has made some good songs, but his attempt to dis Jay was really weak.

I was in a Starter jacket when Illmatic was playin. I dont see why its so sad to see things change.. did Nas & Outkast raise the bar so high they cant be topped?

nah, you cant think like that. If Storch thought like that he wouldnt be anywhere. You gotta break barriers and you would agree if you plan on making a name for yourself.

Tell me I'm dreaming as I read this... and this isn't real, just some figment of my imagination.
 
Most of that list sucks

Saigon- "The Greatest Story Never Told"..............can't wait
 
alot of those albums aren't out but yea i can't wait for Lupe or Saigon's album.
 
also......mood music 3. Its a damn shame that one of this years most anticipated albums isn't even an album
 
DEFINITELY looking forward to Outkast. Might look into the Roots as well...
