"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:24 (seventeen years ago)

I'm thinking Jadakiss

sonderangerbot, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:26 (seventeen years ago)

Big Boi, outside chance of Busta surprising us all.

Is the Missy album looking like a disaster or something? I liked the single from Step to the Streets 4 or whatever well enough.

Alex in SF, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:28 (seventeen years ago)

big boi. maybe fabolous?

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:28 (seventeen years ago)

i dunno, you gotta be pretty optimistic to weigh "Don't Touch Me" vs. the 4-5 other absolutely terrible Busta singles/leaks

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:28 (seventeen years ago)

i'm looking forward to the one or two missy tracks that are going to be super hot.

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:29 (seventeen years ago)

i'm in Jada's corner, though, i was genuinely disappointed when it lost its December release date.

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:29 (seventeen years ago)

what about b.g., or have we given up hope entirely?

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:30 (seventeen years ago)

im voting timbo cause he can just do some left field shit and be like whatever

He invented a dance! You don't invent a dance if you ain't got confidence in your material.

Roni Size Queen (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:33 (seventeen years ago)

We got a list of collabs for the new Timbaland yet? My guesses: Kid Cudi, MGMT, Duffy.

haha yeah i put that on an anticipated list for '08 but had almost forgotten about it by now. might have to put that on a completely seperate poll of Grand Hustle benchwarmers.

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:36 (seventeen years ago)

i voted busta which is weird cuz i hate nu-busta but i figure big boi is gonna keep getting pushed

b.g. isnt technically on grand hustle -- t.i. just offered to exec produce his album and release it thru them but hes not, like, on the label

choom gangsta (deej), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:41 (seventeen years ago)

i think the busta singles/leaks have been, like most of the last few years of his career, far better than they have any right to be

choom gangsta (deej), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:41 (seventeen years ago)

u jammin on that linkin park collab?

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:46 (seventeen years ago)

i havent heard it but that sounds kinda awesome in theory

choom gangsta (deej), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:47 (seventeen years ago)

i'll rep for plenty of LP songs but it's really amazingly terrible

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:47 (seventeen years ago)

WE FINALLY MADE IT

Roni Size Queen (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:51 (seventeen years ago)

i may have to take "worst song produced by Cool & Dre poll" off my self-rejected threads backburner

"one of the worst posters ever" - cankles (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 19:54 (seventeen years ago)

what label is jada on now? probably stuck between him and big boi but jada seems like it has a better chance of coming out.

Rob Liberace (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:23 (seventeen years ago)

he's on Roc-A-Fella/Ruff Ryders, but since neither of those labels really exist anymore it's pretty much just a Def Jam release

woah-oh, we gettin' gay dad money (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:24 (seventeen years ago)

oops okay def jam lowers his chances i guess.

Rob Liberace (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

hey, Def Jam has a pretty good track record of actually releasing rap albums whether they're looking successful or not in the past year or so (Freeway, the Roots, LL, etc.)

woah-oh, we gettin' gay dad money (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i guess yr right. okay, i vote jada cuz i can't imagine his albu won't be at least decent commercial nyc type shit and he is a solid rapper overall.

Rob Liberace (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

other Def Jam albums with dubious odds of being released on '09 that I didn't include in this thread:

Mannie Fresh - From Big to Huge
Memphis Bleek - The Process
Method Man - Crystal Method
Redman - Muddy Waters 2

woah-oh, we gettin' gay dad money (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:40 (seventeen years ago)

Method Man - Crystal Method

^nightmare collabo

Rob Liberace (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:43 (seventeen years ago)

or s. trife dream collabo

woah-oh, we gettin' gay dad money (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:45 (seventeen years ago)

is poor bleek STILL on roc-a-fella?

Rob Liberace (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:49 (seventeen years ago)

i think he's going to be with whatever Live Nation venture Jay ends up doing, if that whole company doesn't collapse before then.

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:58 (seventeen years ago)

Big Boi vs. Clipse for me.

ilxor, Monday, 29 December 2008 21:33 (seventeen years ago)

Jay-Z: best chance of release

either Big Boi or Jadakiss: best chance of not sucking

Дyo! (The Reverend), Monday, 29 December 2008 21:40 (seventeen years ago)

I know it's not fashionable, but absolutely no love for Jigga? 2/3 of American Gangster was good. 1/3 was great, even. That or Big Boi for me. Although the Big Boi single "Something's Gotta Give" is probably his worst song ever. snap bass and generic mary j blige. brrr.

paulhw, Monday, 29 December 2008 21:43 (seventeen years ago)

big boi will be dope and if "death wish" is any indication so will jada

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:04 (seventeen years ago)

also totally looking forward to rap/r&b radio being ruled by two-three fabo loverman joints

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:04 (seventeen years ago)

imma say Big Boi. Did Cuban Linx II get left off for Detox reasons?

subroc back to haunt, Monday, 29 December 2008 23:10 (seventeen years ago)

Was wondering that. Linx II is set to have 12 producers, so will be another Immobiliarity...

paulhw, Monday, 29 December 2008 23:12 (seventeen years ago)

honestly forgot about Cuban Linx II. but i'm pretty sure Rae isn't w/ Aftermath anymore so that one may not even be a major label album by the time it comes out.

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Tuesday, 30 December 2008 02:11 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

paul as resident Hov stan and fan of American Gangster let me say that assuming Blueprint 3 follows dude's typical career trajectory it will suck.

jada's has best chance of releasing AND not sucking, but big boi's record will be better when it finally hits.

BIG HOOS is not a nacho purist fwiw (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:16 (seventeen years ago)

timbaland will have 2-3 amazing pop songs a la 'the way i are', and 16 embarrassments. clipse or big boi will be the most "consistent"

lex pretend, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:22 (seventeen years ago)

lol remember when big boi was supposed to release his 1st single on new year's day '08, and then didn't even leak that until march

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:38 (seventeen years ago)

fuck that feels like it was yesterday

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:46 (seventeen years ago)

Jim Jones - Pray IV Reign

title is even more moronic than Hustler's POME

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 03:49 (seventeen years ago)

Jadakiss has the best chance of not sucking. all the others are either by guys well past their prime, but theyll prob each have 1 or 2 decent songs.

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 11:36 (seventeen years ago)

not only past their prime but old as hell also

sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 11:41 (seventeen years ago)

Jadakiss is the same age as Big Boi and 50 and older than Jim Jones and Fabolous.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 11:45 (seventeen years ago)

royal flush was great but i dont wanna hear any more solo big boi either.

cuban linx 2 apparently has loads of big name producers so im guessing thats just going to be another grab bag of tracks.

clipse might be good but ive a feeling theyll pick or be lumbered with some awful beats. and they dont really seem that motivated anymore.

i dont like nu busta either but big bang was a good album, for what it was.

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 12:02 (seventeen years ago)

I really like Brooklyn (Go Hard) and Jocking Jay-z so I am hoping Blueprint III comes out and wows us.. also I heard Eminem got REALLY fat and I want to see a picture, but I can't find one :(

skeletal lexing (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 16:03 (seventeen years ago)

also wtf Missy, way to steal Lisa Lopes' title.. though I guess her album was called Supernova which she "stole" from Liz Phair so the karmic balance is okay. Because "Supernova" and "Block party" are completely unique concepts dreamt up by Lisa & Liz.

skeletal lexing (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 16:04 (seventeen years ago)

System, Thursday, 1 January 2009 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

four months pass...

i'm not even going to listen to the Em or Busta or Jones albums front to back, and i'm only lukewarm on the Jada, but i'm gonna call this as 1 for 4, or maybe .5, at this point.

straight fire beautiful hongro (some dude), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:47 (seventeen years ago)

seven months pass...

lol @ the winner of this poll being one of only 2 albums that weren't released in '09

shart shart shart shart shart hey guys is this still funny? shart sh (some dude), Sunday, 17 January 2010 14:23 (sixteen years ago)

loooooool

not a playa but i ilx a lot (deej), Sunday, 17 January 2010 17:09 (sixteen years ago)

:(

not a playa but i ilx a lot (deej), Sunday, 17 January 2010 17:09 (sixteen years ago)

i dont see shine blockas pushing it any closer to release either. im fairly confident thats not remotely close to a hit right?

not a playa but i ilx a lot (deej), Sunday, 17 January 2010 17:09 (sixteen years ago)

Nah, thats a great track.

Evan, Sunday, 17 January 2010 17:14 (sixteen years ago)

its good although not even my favorite of the big boi leaks so far, but im talking about likelihood of getting a record released

not a playa but i ilx a lot (deej), Sunday, 17 January 2010 17:15 (sixteen years ago)

he said on twitter that it's got a release date now (in march) but who knows if thatll actually happen

just sayin, Sunday, 17 January 2010 19:29 (sixteen years ago)

the kiss album is pretty okay

J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 January 2010 20:54 (sixteen years ago)

i basically only bump 'cartel gathering' & 'what if'
