Seriously, Is the busta album even out yet? Out of everybody signed right now, Young Joc is the only thing the labels will release? Whats going on? Seems like more rappers getting killed than are getting release dates this year. And most everything except for T.I., Ghostface, and that new wayne tape has been totally lackluster. Keep it up, it wont just be New York everybodies talking about bringing back. What are yalls thoughts?

    Current state of the industry seems to be quite effed up...we will have to wait for nas, too...heard that slick rick got dropped. who still cares about albums though? who is still buying new 12"'s of majorlabelrap? I'm confused...

    The Coup album is much better than I initially surveyed. Just gotta be in the right frame of mind for it, because it's an antithesis to all of the plastic club music that's been beating us in the head the past few years.

    Major label 12"-wise, I definitely have some TI, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and Chamillionaire on hand.

    I think right now, it's time for listeners to stop expecting to be so spoon-fed. There's a group of rappers that live around the corner from you. Go buy their album and get into that for awhile.

    I think rap artists are afraid of faux_rillz reviews, so they are keeping their new shit for themselves.

    Comes out next week.

    I'm looking forward to the Field Mob album and the Young Dro album (which is supposed to come in August).

    ...heard that slick rick got dropped

    I don't think he "got dropped" exactly... I don't think he has had any desire to make albums for awhile and they just formalized it. Kind of a shame, though, since Rick is just about the only NY dude from his era that I'd still be interested in hearing an album from. I thought his 1999 album was quite good.

    it's like that now? i've heard a few cuts off the roots. not too shabby... the busta LP is so-so. tons of dope cameos though.

    bsides: there's probably a few dozen LA indie acts you could hollering at.. if you're having trouble we've got a bunch of chi-town (non-molemen/all natural) groups you can check out.

    Comparing Ghost to T.I. isn't clever - it's just silly. T.I. will be over in a few minutes. Sayin though...

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !



    I love Ghost and comparing the two is apples and oranges but saying T.I. will be over in a few minutes is what's "just silly".

    Ray Cash - C.O.D.
    T.I. - King

    Neither impressed me that much. Both have a few really amazing songs & some padding. I don't think that reflects badly on either artist, though. The album isn't important in hip hop right now. Its all about the singles.

    I love ghost but this album was just a disappointment, especially after Pretty Toney.
    The huge disparity between quality of the music and level of critical acclaim on fishscale is just outta control (remix).

    I had one like that like two years ago

    Is there any way to get around the watermark?

    I wonder if this will even come out with the recent changes over at Sony.
