Carnival 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I will download the Nas, Ludacris, and Outkast albums, just cuz I have all the other ones. 2006 will be the year of Tech N9ne, mark my words, he's about to blow the fuck up. Also NATAS has a new album coming out in like a month i think. Not to mention new ICP in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 10. The Roots Album Title: Game Theory Label: Def Jam Beats: Artist, J Dilla Features: Mos Def, Saigon, Peedi Peedi, MF Doom, Danger Mouse, Jill Scott, Lunna E of Cirius, MFSB Orchestra, Truk North First Single: Don't Feel Right Sales Pitch: "We still put 100 percent of our effort into making what we feel is wuality hip-hop. I think if people really believe in quality and have patience, and then we're worth the purchase." I guess I liked their last album more than others. Different from what they'd done in the past, but still solid on a different level. I'm intrigued. 9 Ludacris Album Title: Release Therapy Label: DTP/Def Jam Beats: Timbaland, Shondrae, LT Moe, Organized Noize, Ice Drake Features: DTP Family First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "You 're gonna get your money's worth and then some. Real music is all about emotion. Whether it make you laugh, reminisce, cry, get motivated to get a damn job, or tell people you love them; you're going to feel this mutha ****in' album." His first two LPs are fun experiences; not necessarily great rap, but not a whole lot you'll skip over either. Chicken 'n' Beer really soured me on Luda, although his follow-up wasn't as bad. Or so I hear. 8 Busta Rhymes Album Title: The Big Bang Label: Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Timbaland, Dr.Dre, Neptunes, Scott Storch, Nottz, J Dilla, Swizz Beatz, Sha Money XL, Jelly Roll, Denaun Porter, Just Blaze, Rashad Smith, Hill Features: Stevie Wonder, Rick James, Raekwon, Nas, Dr.Dre, Eminem, Q-Tip, Notorious BIG, Flipmond Squad First Single: Touch It Sales Pitch: "Busta Rhymes has never not been the most consistent mutha fucka around. Busta Rhymes has always carried the torch for what's hot in the street. And even though the South has been making those records that make you wild out in the club, I'm here to give you that raw New York club banger." I can't get into the first single. It's different, but it's too disjointed to make for a good listen. 7 Ghostface Album Title: Fishscale Label: Def Jam Beats: Pete Rock, Mf Doom, J Dilla, Madlib, Moss, Lewis Parker, Studio Beatz Features: Wu-Tang Clan, Theodore Unit, Ne-yo First Single: Back Like That Sales Pitch: "Fishscale is like dopest **** that's on the block right now. It's like I got the hypest dope. When *****s taste that ****, they gon' fiend for it" The Pretty Toney Album was a mixed bag, but I'll typically take what I can get from the Wu. 6 T.I. Album Title: The King Label: Grand Huslte/Atlantic Beats: Rich rubin, Neptunes, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek, Kwame, Fury, DJ Toomp. Don Cannon, Chad West, Khano, Keith Mack, Lil' C, Black Mob, Big Resse Features: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, P$C, Lil' Wayne, B.G., Alicia Keys, Young Dro, Governor First Single: Ride Wit Me Sales Pitch: "Trap Muzik laid the foundation, but missed a couple mainstream recors. Urban Legend was great, but it missed the creativity people wanted from me. King is my most well-rounded project since I'm Serious." At least he's got some good workers on the boards. Outside a handful of tracks, I don't care too much for T.I. 5 Outkast Album Title: Idlewild Label: Jive Beats: Artist, Organized Noize Features: Sleepy Brown, Janelle Monae, Scar First Single: Big Boi's "The Train and the duo's Idlewild Blues will be released simultaneously Sales Pitch: "With us you have to expect the unexpected," said Big. "This is the next thing you could do after doing a double CD where two group members were doing solo CDs. The fans expect nothing less than what we've been giving them for the past decade, and that's some funky-ass ****" This is probably the most intriguing release on the list. Their sound seems to shift from album-to-album, so I'm defintely curious what this will bring. 3 Cam'Ron Album Title: Killa Season Label: Asylum Beats: Ebonikz, Pro V, Black Key, Stay Gettin, Blackout, Versatile Productions, Wattz Features: Juelz Santana, J.R. Writter, Hell Rell, Jaheim, Webbie First Single: Do Your Thing Sales Pitch: "I got the passion back back because Hell Rell and J.R. are starting to get buzz they're getting. It's like process that Jim, Juelz and I went through starting over, getting on mixtapes. I'm hyped again." My rap guilty pleasure. He's a lazy emcee, but his charisma and producers he collaborates with usually make for some memorable joints. 2 Nas Album Title: TBD Label: TBD Beats: DJ Premier Features: All Mr. Jones offers is, "I'm almost done [working] on a Queens anthem with another big Queens dude." First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "Cop it to see where dude's head is at and where I'm taking it this timearound. This will be the next step for me. I bridged the gap between generations on my last joint; this one is going further ahead creatively than what I did last time." I believe I've heard a track or two from what should be on the album; good stuff. Should be interesting to see if he can rebound from the bloated, hit-or-miss experiment that was his last LP. 1 The Game Album Title: The Doctor's Advocate Label: Black Wall Street/Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Dr.Dre, Hi-Tek, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Nu Jerzey Devil, Timbaland Features: Nas, Damian Marley, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey 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. This one is about upping the ante and making something better than a classic - on my own." Ugh. Perfect example of what can happen with the right producers. Game doesn't almost nothing for me, but thanks to getting virtually every hot producer on his debut, that "classic" status he's talking about doesn't seem that ridiculous.

Carnival 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I agree with BC on the Luda thing, I kinda got soured on him when "roll out" was released. A single talking about money, after he made a song about robbing people that are flossing "Stick em up". But Chicken & Beer really made me hate him(except "We Got"). I still think he's a really fucking good rapper, he just makes shitty songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I don't even think he's that good of a rapper. He's more of an entertainer with a knack for clever word play. Luda didn't delve into a myriad of topics in his first two albums, but his third outing still felt like a paint-by-number rap album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 pretty toney album was great. so was streets disciple. was bloated. coulda made an amazing single album if cut downa bit. but it wasn't a critical darling for whatever reason. nas & ghostface are the ones i care about here.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 The Roots are the best live band on the planet these days...I dont know if they will ever make a studio record that can equal the brilliance of their live show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 10. The Roots Album Title: Game Theory Label: Def Jam Beats: Artist, J Dilla Features: Mos Def, Saigon, Peedi Peedi, MF Doom, Danger Mouse, Jill Scott, Lunna E of Cirius, MFSB Orchestra, Truk North First Single: Don't Feel Right Sales Pitch: "We still put 100 percent of our effort into making what we feel is wuality hip-hop. I think if people really believe in quality and have patience, and then we're worth the purchase." Of course I will get this because I have all the others. Have RARELY been disappointed. But I do agree that they should just realese Roots Live albums instead of studio ones. Ludacris Album Title: Release Therapy Label: DTP/Def Jam Beats: Timbaland, Shondrae, LT Moe, Organized Noize, Ice Drake Features: DTP Family First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "You 're gonna get your money's worth and then some. Real music is all about emotion. Whether it make you laugh, reminisce, cry, get motivated to get a damn job, or tell people you love them; you're going to feel this mutha ****in' album." Luda....he has talent, but I can't think of 3 songs in all his albums worth listening to on regularity. He is a damn good club music maker I guess, but I doubt I will ever buy a Luda album. 8 Busta Rhymes Album Title: The Big Bang Label: Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Timbaland, Dr.Dre, Neptunes, Scott Storch, Nottz, J Dilla, Swizz Beatz, Sha Money XL, Jelly Roll, Denaun Porter, Just Blaze, Rashad Smith, Hill Features: Stevie Wonder, Rick James, Raekwon, Nas, Dr.Dre, Eminem, Q-Tip, Notorious BIG, Flipmond Squad First Single: Touch It Sales Pitch: "Busta Rhymes has never not been the most consistent mutha fucka around. Busta Rhymes has always carried the torch for what's hot in the street. And even though the South has been making those records that make you wild out in the club, I'm here to give you that raw New York club banger." "has never not been the most consistent muthafucka around". What the fuck does that mean. You confused me Busta. Anyway, I haven't gotten a Busta album in a while but I will get this JUST because of the people it features and I haven't heard Rah Digga in a while. Even if that means that I have to listen to Rampage say his name 60,000 times in the same song she will probably be on. 7 Ghostface Album Title: Fishscale Label: Def Jam Beats: Pete Rock, Mf Doom, J Dilla, Madlib, Moss, Lewis Parker, Studio Beatz Features: Wu-Tang Clan, Theodore Unit, Ne-yo First Single: Back Like That Sales Pitch: "Fishscale is like dopest **** that's on the block right now. It's like I got the hypest dope. When *****s taste that ****, they gon' fiend for it" No I won't get it. I am sorry but I just don't like the dude that much. 6 T.I. Album Title: The King Label: Grand Huslte/Atlantic Beats: Rich rubin, Neptunes, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek, Kwame, Fury, DJ Toomp. Don Cannon, Chad West, Khano, Keith Mack, Lil' C, Black Mob, Big Resse Features: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, P$C, Lil' Wayne, B.G., Alicia Keys, Young Dro, Governor First Single: Ride Wit Me Sales Pitch: "Trap Muzik laid the foundation, but missed a couple mainstream recors. Urban Legend was great, but it missed the creativity people wanted from me. King is my most well-rounded project since I'm Serious." Definately going to get this but he should definately get away from the P$C because they suck and make whatever song they are on the worst on the album. Trap Muzik was a damn good album and Urban Legend was made for radio but still a very strong allbum. Dude is pretty incredible lyrically, although I hope he opens up the subject matter a little and just lets it go. 5 Outkast Album Title: Idlewild Label: Jive Beats: Artist, Organized Noize Features: Sleepy Brown, Janelle Monae, Scar First Single: Big Boi's "The Train and the duo's Idlewild Blues will be released simultaneously Sales Pitch: "With us you have to expect the unexpected," said Big. "This is the next thing you could do after doing a double CD where two group members were doing solo CDs. The fans expect nothing less than what we've been giving them for the past decade, and that's some funky-ass ****" I don't think I will have to say anything here. No reason to believe that this album will be anything but incredible and I will get it on release date. 4 Mobb Deep Album Title: Blood Money Label: G Unit/Interscope Beats: Havoc, Dr.Dre, Alchemist, Sha Money XL, J.R., Red Spyda Features: G Unit Family First Single: Put 'Em In Their Place Sales Pitch: "If there's one thing you can say about Mobb Deep it's that we're consistent," says Havoc. "We're gonna come with that music that you're gonna be able to play in your car for years. We wanna be a part of this because it's a part of history." I won't get it because I am not trying to hear "The G Unit Family". I hope they make alot of money off of this though. seriously. They deserve a big seller. But I am gonig to put money on this sucking. 3 Cam'Ron Album Title: Killa Season Label: Asylum Beats: Ebonikz, Pro V, Black Key, Stay Gettin, Blackout, Versatile Productions, Wattz Features: Juelz Santana, J.R. Writter, Hell Rell, Jaheim, Webbie First Single: Do Your Thing Sales Pitch: "I got the passion back back because Hell Rell and J.R. are starting to get buzz they're getting. It's like process that Jim, Juelz and I went through starting over, getting on mixtapes. I'm hyped again." Whatever. Cam has sucked since 99. Call me when he shows some talent again. 2 Nas Album Title: TBD Label: TBD Beats: DJ Premier Features: All Mr. Jones offers is, "I'm almost done [working] on a Queens anthem with another big Queens dude." First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "Cop it to see where dude's head is at and where I'm taking it this timearound. This will be the next step for me. I bridged the gap between generations on my last joint; this one is going further ahead creatively than what I did last time." I will see. His last few albums have been very good (although the last one was definately too long with far to many "eh" songs). Plus he is talking some pure bullshit in alot of his lyrics IMO so that is why I am going to have to wait on this one. 1 The Game Album Title: The Doctor's Advocate Label: Black Wall Street/Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Dr.Dre, Hi-Tek, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Nu Jerzey Devil, Timbaland Features: Nas, Damian Marley, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey 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. This one is about upping the ante and making something better than a classic - on my own." I expect this to be a DAMN fine album because of the great production and like him or not Game can rap. The fact that I could care less for MC Gusto here won't sway me from getting it. Plus....Lauryn Hill is going to be on it son! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Which is weird. He's one of the more prominent members of the Clan and his solo work is probably better on a whole than any of the others', but GZA can give him a run for his money. Ghost has a more "in your face" approach to his verses, while GZA is the laid back cat that makes you come find him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 GZA's coming to Charlottesville with DJ Muggs in February. What a great alternative to dropping that $50 on the Wu show in DC. I'm psyched. On this list, I'll buy Outkast's, check out Ghostface's album, and maybe steal a couple of the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ant_7000 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 XXL Magazine's Most Anticipated Albums of 2006 10. The Roots Album Title: Game Theory Label: Def Jam Beats: Artist, J Dilla Features: Mos Def, Saigon, Peedi Peedi, MF Doom, Danger Mouse, Jill Scott, Lunna E of Cirius, MFSB Orchestra, Truk North First Single: Don't Feel Right Sales Pitch: "We still put 100 percent of our effort into making what we feel is wuality hip-hop. I think if people really believe in quality and have patience, and then we're worth the purchase." I'll definitely get this because they always bring something to the table. I liked the last album which was their best effort since "things fall apart." 9 Ludacris Album Title: Release Therapy Label: DTP/Def Jam Beats: Timbaland, Shondrae, LT Moe, Organized Noize, Ice Drake Features: DTP Family First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "You 're gonna get your money's worth and then some. Real music is all about emotion. Whether it make you laugh, reminisce, cry, get motivated to get a damn job, or tell people you love them; you're going to feel this mutha ****in' album." I'll like singles but won't buy the album, Luda has to show me that he's not a punchline bandit. 8 Busta Rhymes Album Title: The Big Bang Label: Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Timbaland, Dr.Dre, Neptunes, Scott Storch, Nottz, J Dilla, Swizz Beatz, Sha Money XL, Jelly Roll, Denaun Porter, Just Blaze, Rashad Smith, Hill Features: Stevie Wonder, Rick James, Raekwon, Nas, Dr.Dre, Eminem, Q-Tip, Notorious BIG, Flipmond Squad First Single: Touch It Sales Pitch: "Busta Rhymes has never not been the most consistent mutha fucka around. Busta Rhymes has always carried the torch for what's hot in the street. And even though the South has been making those records that make you wild out in the club, I'm here to give you that raw New York club banger." Busta has really fallen off to me, he was a more talented east coast verison of Ludacris 10 years ago. 7 Ghostface Album Title: Fishscale Label: Def Jam Beats: Pete Rock, Mf Doom, J Dilla, Madlib, Moss, Lewis Parker, Studio Beatz Features: Wu-Tang Clan, Theodore Unit, Ne-yo First Single: Back Like That Sales Pitch: "Fishscale is like dopest **** that's on the block right now. It's like I got the hypest dope. When *****s taste that ****, they gon' fiend for it" I like Ghost, but won't buy the album. 6 T.I. Album Title: The King Label: Grand Huslte/Atlantic Beats: Rich rubin, Neptunes, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek, Kwame, Fury, DJ Toomp. Don Cannon, Chad West, Khano, Keith Mack, Lil' C, Black Mob, Big Resse Features: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, P$C, Lil' Wayne, B.G., Alicia Keys, Young Dro, Governor First Single: Ride Wit Me Sales Pitch: "Trap Muzik laid the foundation, but missed a couple mainstream recors. Urban Legend was great, but it missed the creativity people wanted from me. King is my most well-rounded project since I'm Serious." T.i. is kinda hit or miss for me, so I won't get his album needs to expand on subject matter, and Keep working with David Banner. 5 Outkast Album Title: Idlewild Label: Jive Beats: Artist, Organized Noize Features: Sleepy Brown, Janelle Monae, Scar First Single: Big Boi's "The Train and the duo's Idlewild Blues will be released simultaneously Sales Pitch: "With us you have to expect the unexpected," said Big. "This is the next thing you could do after doing a double CD where two group members were doing solo CDs. The fans expect nothing less than what we've been giving them for the past decade, and that's some funky-ass ****" I don't have to even bother listening to a Single, I'll be at the record store to buy this album. 4 Mobb Deep Album Title: Blood Money Label: G Unit/Interscope Beats: Havoc, Dr.Dre, Alchemist, Sha Money XL, J.R., Red Spyda Features: G Unit Family First Single: Put 'Em In Their Place Sales Pitch: "If there's one thing you can say about Mobb Deep it's that we're consistent," says Havoc. "We're gonna come with that music that you're gonna be able to play in your car for years. We wanna be a part of this because it's a part of history." Its going to be a "G-Unit Family" album which I'll pass on. Mobb Deep has lost so much creditibility, with Prodigy getting his ass whooped all the time its hard to take them seriously. 3 Cam'Ron Album Title: Killa Season Label: Asylum Beats: Ebonikz, Pro V, Black Key, Stay Gettin, Blackout, Versatile Productions, Wattz Features: Juelz Santana, J.R. Writter, Hell Rell, Jaheim, Webbie First Single: Do Your Thing Sales Pitch: "I got the passion back back because Hell Rell and J.R. are starting to get buzz they're getting. It's like process that Jim, Juelz and I went through starting over, getting on mixtapes. I'm hyped again." Lazy as fuck, only if he tries, he's decent. I liked "Come Home wit me" then he went Plantinum and then got seriously lazy and wack. Bring out some SAS albums. 2 Nas Album Title: TBD Label: TBD Beats: DJ Premier Features: All Mr. Jones offers is, "I'm almost done [working] on a Queens anthem with another big Queens dude." First Single: TBD Sales Pitch: "Cop it to see where dude's head is at and where I'm taking it this timearound. This will be the next step for me. I bridged the gap between generations on my last joint; this one is going further ahead creatively than what I did last time." I'll buy this because I liked his last 3 albums. 1 The Game Album Title: The Doctor's Advocate Label: Black Wall Street/Aftermath/Interscope Beats: Dr.Dre, Hi-Tek, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Nu Jerzey Devil, Timbaland Features: Nas, Damian Marley, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Mariah Carey 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. This one is about upping the ante and making something better than a classic - on my own." Im still not sold on the Game completely but with that 300 bars song, I'll give him 2nd chance. Its make or break time for Game. He's got Dre's full attention this time, theres no reason that Game can't shine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Boyz II Men are definatley still around and still doing pretty good.
