Q&A
LL is taking forever, was supposed to be out 2 years ago. With dre beats and eminem features
Isn’t Q-Tip exec producing it?
The Dre album got scrapped. He’s releasing one with Q-Tip
Dre and Snoop have an album
Not too sure about that. Yes qtip is doing majority but thought the em tracks were still there too. Who knows though, sick of artists scrapping stuff before we can even hear it. Dr Dre needs to be put in an asylum and someone needs to leak all of his shit.
LL has said himself on podcasts that the Dre album isn’t coming out.
It also discusses it in this link
https://eminem.news/ll-cool-j-scrapped-dre.html
Damn thats weak. Thanks for the info. Remember Zoom? That was some good shit
Add Pharoahe Monch and possibly Rakim to that list.
That's what I'm talking about!!!
Cite me the source about monch rumors bro, I’m geeked
Common and pete rock
nas and dj premier
I'm hyped for Common and PR. I would've been hyped out of this world for Nas & Premo 10-15 years ago but that one single they just released disappointed the fuck out of me.
Spice 1 dropped this year as well
It’s actually pretty dope too
Don't hold your breath for 50
I feel pretty confident 50 is going to be on Em's album.
That was basically confirmed I think but who knows it could just be another bullshit 30 second verse like his Magic 2 feature
A feature isn't the same as an album! I would LOVE to see a new 50 album. Even the music for his shows is good.
I choose to believe that he’s waiting to see if Ja Rule drops so he can drop on the same day
Just listened to a new Inspectah Deck interview and he has a album in the works produced by preemo, static and he mentioned some other a list producers
He's still not happy about the flood and uncontrolled substance because chamber number 9 didn't do as good as the movement
Cite the source bro I can’t find shit
Bagfuel. The album stuff is at the very end

I hope the Slick Rick album is well done. Art Of Storytelling was one of the first albums I really got into as a kid. I can’t believe that was his most recent release.
Crazy to think that was 25 years ago too lol
Are they all confirmed or just rumors?
Either confirmed or strongly suggested by the artists themselves (you can google each one of them)
I thought roc nation shut down the jay album rumour?
Jay shut down the Jay album rumor.
2024 is promising to be an amazing year and has been so far for hiphop fans
I’m predicting this LL and QTip project will be the best out of all of em. Uncle Todd over Abstract beats? Gon be insane.
💯💯💯💯
I'm all for Hush part 2 songs. But it's already been years, sixed pack's faded, and raps outdated, but that's 20 yrs ago let's rush, little mama just hush
And for good time's sake it features random Canibus diss.
The Force was really good "teaser"
I hope this shit won't be scrapped
Ice cube rapping about his effective tax rate and why we need to elect Trump
lol
Straight outta cooked 💀
Yea im not excited for cube at all lol he hasnt put out a good album since the 90s imo
I live in a happy little world where he just retired after Lethal Injection. edit: I can’t tell time
Right around that time, I’d probably say after Lethal Injection and Westside Connection’s first album, which is ‘96. Would have been a damn fine run if he stopped there.
Oh shit. Morning coffee hadn’t kicked in yet. I amend my album comment to Lethal Injection. Not caffeinated enough me thought LI came out before Predator.
Ima defend LNCL and Raw Footage, other than that his lyrics nowadays kinda suck. Fuckin hurts to say but oh well 😮💨
He's been consistently not good to disappointing since the first west side connection album. He had a couple of good songs here and there but nothing to build a momentum on. Not that he really cares, those movie checks seem nice
Your dead right on that, it sucks how far he fell off after the predator (which was still sub par compared to everything before it)
I guess he never really figured out where to move next theme and concept wise after doing conscious hip hop so he slipped back into gangsta tropes. A true colab with Del would've been nice. Hell, make it a Sci fi Black Elvis style psych out and bring Yoyo too. Cibe had a chance to bounce back when he hooked up with Dre again in 94 but then Dre left Death Row and Helta Skeltah album was abandoned and later on Cube didn't wanted to join Aftermath so he was done for good.
Who raised who 💀
I'm happy we still getting new music from the legends.
Rakim
Lead single off the Ice Cube album is gonna be called “Love The Police”.
Police Academy
Might not be liked for this but Will Smith said hes dropping an album after bad boys comes out
That album will definitely slap.
Underrated comment😂😂😂
Will definitely slaps
And it features an assortment of vaporwave and rage beats and random yeat features and also Ian vs 4bats mini rap battle on a posse cut and then Carti gets a solo song and it's the only real hit off the album.
Lauren Hill is apparently releasing too, but don't hold your breath on that one.
Tech N9ne is about to drop a new Collabos
To be fair Tech is always about to drop something.
Dunno any other artist with his work ethic
These guys make comeback albums like every 3 or 4 years and have never actually "come back", except for Jay Z and Em.
and nas. his run with hit boy even rivaled his peak.
Yeah for sure. He'd be at the top of my list for "older" rappers.
No actually. LLCJ his first in 11 years. Xzibit & Ja Rule first in 12 years. Missy first in 19 years. Slick Rick first in 25 years. These are long comebacks.
I’ve been waiting for Q Tip’s The Last Zulu for almost ten years
Out this list, I’m here for Jada and Em. Would love if Fab dropped also.
Snoop isn't really having a comeback he never stopped making albums. He must have released like 10 projects in the last 15 years
True but they all flopped anyway. His new one is a sequel to the classic Doggystyle and Dre is producing it... so in my book it is a true comeback.
Also lauryn hill rumours, hard to believe it might actually happen
Slick Rick doesn’t age, he levels up
Juvenile said that Hot Boys (Juvenile, BG, Turk and Wayne) will work on album
Tha Dogg Pound droppin 31/05 and these 2 singles they dropped were nice
Ghostface should also drop Supreme Clientele 2, this one he dropped recently was "appetizer"
You forgot nas and premier. Also I'm convinced the LL one isn't coming out lmao, it's been delayed like 2 years and no word of it
I wish Sabac Red would drop
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need a new 50 album.
I think 50 lost his edge in making music.
Have you watched any of his shows? He's still on point. He just found more lucrative hustles.
Yea I did. They cool for shows. But making music for shows and a project is two total separate things.
Not really.. I mean.. sure there are differences but if he can produce shows of that caliber (with music just as good)... I doubt he would have any issues making a new album. He's always on point when he puts effort into something.
The guy doesn't miss.
I will say this though. The first time I watched BMF and Power, I was like damn these are the best shows I have ever watched in my life.
And then I watched Snowfall. There's always better.
But 50 doesn't miss that's for sure.
Wait didn't Jay say outright he wasn't working on new music? I swear I read that somewhere
MC Lyte is working on a new project.
Lauryn Hill said her second album will be done “soon.” 👀
Very cool to be honest
Eminem and Ghostface drop pretty consistently.
Love Jada but his albums are always ehhhh
Jay is usually solid
Nobody gives a fuck about Missy, Xzibit, or Ja.
dont put Xzibit in there...
Pumped for Rae because he chooses dope beats. We will see about the rest but I’m guessing the beat selections will be trash. Slick Rick might be promising. He was dope on that muggs beat with method man
Interested in none of if
I was never a big Jay-Z fan but he's been out the rap game so long I'm excited to see what he comes out with. Missy is always excellent. Production will be on point I'm guessing.
I'll peep most of these artists' new projects but those are the two that have me most interested at the moment.
To me I wonder what he'll rap about. Like if he raps about being rich on 13 tracks it's a pass. But if it's more 4:44 style, then it'll be really good.
Magna Carta Holy Grail Flashbacks...
Another no I.d produced album would be sick
As long as Timbo makes s few tracks it'll be fire for sure
Jay's recent GOD DID was amazing (well, his parts of it were). If he's bringing work of even half that quality to his new projects it'll be a slam dunk.
Jay-Z's last album was from 2017 which is still fairly recent. Many of the others are releasing their first in 15 or 20+ years.
Ice Cube didn't stop
