Do you love Hip Hop? I pose a challenge…
We’ve all been jonesing for the latest Nasir Jones. Tell me you ain’t been hankering for Hova.
Well, hip hop has the hugest fourth quarter in years so act like you know. Here’s the challenge. Throw all of your “pre-release” internet tracks away and wait for the real thing. And, get this, go buy it on CD. They’ll be collector’s items some day.
The Game – Doctor’s Advocate (Geffen, Nov. 14th)
Snoop Dogg – Tha Blue Carpet Treatment (Geffen, Nov. 21st)
Jay-Z – Kingdom Come (Def Jam, November 21st)
Clipse – Hell Hath No Fury (Jive, November 28th)
Eminem Presents the Re-Up (Shady, Dec. 5th)
Young Jeezy – Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 (Def Jam, Dec. 12th)
Ghostface Killah – More Fish (Def Jam, Dec. 19th)
Nas – Hip Hop is Dead (Def Jam, Dec. 19th)
Fabolous – From Nothing to Something (Def Jam, Feb.)
Redman – Red Gone Wild (Def Jam, ???)
Any others I am forgetting? And c’mon, you already saw a Ghostface and a Method Man album this year, plus Raekwon is going to come out on Aftermath–It’s like an East Coast revival! We haven’t seen this much action since 1998.
