    I thought I'd start this thread firstly so people could say something about albums released in 2007 that they are listening to, and because I want to know some info(release dates, anything really) on the next albums from the following artists:Edan, Dizzee Rascal, Joe Budden, Devin The Dude, Kano, Domingo, Mr Ti2bs, Example, the Wu-Tang Clan, Common and Blak Twang.

    Right now I've heard a few new albums.Sean Price's release put me to sleep, the RZA's album was average but had about 5 nice cuts,Klashnekoff's is conistently above average and the only album I heard worth your cash.

    the only good new release ive heard this year is The Snowgoons German Lugers

    http://play.com/Music/CD/4-/3323968/-/Product.html?searchstring=the+snowgoons&searchsource=0

    okayplayer are saying Common-Finding forever will be out soon. El-p's new one is out in a few weeks, supposed to be class. Sage Francis has a new one out soon(kinda came out of nowhere). Snowgoons album is supposed to be good, has Wordsworth, O.C and others on it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    I seriuosly hope Common gets some beats from will.i.am and No ID for the next album,I love Kanye's stuff but Be was average to me.

    Black Milk, J Dilla(reissue of the pretty good Ruff Draft), Domingo, Kano and the QN5 label are all supposed to be dropping albums in the coming months.About the only Hip-Hop albums that I have seen get continously good reviews for are this year are the EL-P,Brother Ali,Ta'raach and Amon Tobin albums.

    Desire is never coming out and I for one am happy just because I know how much the wait tortures SC.:p

    I think Budden is at least going to release Mood Muzik 3 this year, which is something.lol at Wise Intelligent working with German Hip-Hoppers.Black Milk has serious potential- its people like him, Raydar Ellis and Spank Rock that tells me Hip-Hop is still alive and kicking.

    Its boring and not Hip-Hop.

    So really K-Lash's album is the only one more then average.I have a feeling Devin's album is going to be strong though.

    Prodigy's dropping on March 27, The Alchemist is handling the beats.

    Apparently Nas is supposed to be releasing another album this year and Black Republicans and Hustlers are supposed to getting video's, which if true just goes to show how bizarre Def Jam does it business.

    Kool G Rap's album has been pushed back to May.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭Beefeater


    U can download Redman's new song over at okayplayer. "Gimme One" produced by Pete Rock.good track. still shows Redman is timeless, although on 1 listen i thought Malpractice sounded poor


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭Beefeater


    alright, i think these should be out this year:


    Cormega - The Inevitable; could be good
    Lupe Fiasco - The Cool; a little early after his first lp i think possibly
    Canibus - Nothing To Prove & Rebirth Of Hip-Hop; NTP is a mixtape out very soon features Nas, DJ Premier, Wyclef Jean, Gza, Tha Dogg Pound, Tyrese, Domingo, Prince Paul, MF Doom, Butch Cassidy, Vinnie Paz of JMT, J. Wells, K-Solo, Doug E. Fresh, PlusScience, Mya. hopefully he releases something as good as Rip the JAcker.
    Kool G. Rap - Half A Klip; never a big fan, good lyricist though
    Ghostface & MF Doom - Swift & Changable; interesting
    Rakim - The Seventh Seal; heard this was out 06 shopefully.
    Cyne - Fallen Stars EP & Full Length LP; really like 1st album after 1 listen
    EMC - The Show; should be great
    Wu-Tang - 8 Diagrams; have my doubts it will come out in 07


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead.

    Eh, wow. Better than Fan Dam. I need to listen to this some more to pass proper judgement but on first listen this is pretty damn good. Best I've heard this year anyway.

    Now if only the rest of the Def Jux camp would follow suit they could go back to releasing albums of the quality of The Cold Vein and Labor Days.

    Anyone listen to that Devin album yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Dalek album is good.

    Devin the Dude is ok, nothing special. Evidence, well it sounds like the last two Dilated Peoples album so not very good and there's something about his attitude that annoys me anyway.

    Best I've heard so far this year

    El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead (best by a long way)
    Busdriver - Roadkill Overcoat
    Dalek - Abandoned Language
    Snowgoons - German Lugers

    Sean Price - Jesus Price Superstar is ok.

    Have to listen to Linguistics' album still.

    Prodigy album is only 39 minutes long including 3 interludes and an intro. So there's really 10 3 minute songs. Basically it's an EP at this length. Apparently though it's just a prelude to HNIC II. Sounds better than the last Mobb Deep album anyway.

    Haven't picked up anything yet.

    I'm waiting on Wu's 8 Diagrams and Commons new album.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    The Dalek album is ok I guess,his flow and the production can get a little dreary and repetitive though.

    Apparently Redman and the Timbaland albums are out about, anyone?

    Very slow start to the year,at least Common,Kanye,Lupe and Talib are on the way.(hopefully)


  • Registered Users Posts: 211 ✭✭Hagakure_irl


    Didn't know about Redman, haven't listened to any of his stuff since Blackout with Meth.

    Also going to pick up J-Dillas album

    Got the Redman album but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. There's a new Dogg Pound album coming out too for anyone interested.

    El-P's album is by far and away the best this year so far though.

    Hell RAZAH's album is strong as well imo.Nicely produced and guestspots from Talib,DOOM, and Rass Kass.Best album I heard all year actually, although I always thought Hell RAZAH was underrated.

    TBH I'm listening more to a lot of the stuff I missed last year.Raydar Ellis' Late Pass and Plastic Little' She's Mature are better then 95% of the albums I heard last year.

    The first is the best debut I have heard since Cormega dropped The Realness(better then even Lupe), its dudes like Raydar,Black Milk,Lupe and Oh No that makes Hip-Hop still worth invented.Get his album, you'll be shocked how good it is.

    Plastic Little's album is just offensive and ridiciously well produced.Very like Spank Rock's album and again Ghostface and DOOM guest.

    So what did you think of it? I picked it up on Sunday along with the reissue of J Dilla's Ruff Draft.

    IMO it's Red's most solid solo album since Muddy Waters (well not really that hard because Doc's Da Name 2000 & Malpractice were both poor). Some nice production from the likes of Rockwilder & Scott Storch too.

    I'm looking forward to Muddy Waters 2 now ;)

    Still haven't gotten around to listening to it.

    The Ruff Draft re-issue has about three very good tracks(Nothing Like This is :eek: )but is generally short, you'd think there would be some bonus beats tagged on.

    My mate had the vinyl version of this and I really liked it. It is a tad short though and I was also surprised that there are no real extras considering that it is a two disc set. Overall I think that The Shining is better (E=MC2 with Common is class!).

    Yeah The Shining was good.Guilty Simpson is going to drop a classic debut if he gets a chance and the proper support, the mid-west is on top creatively right now.

    Apparently AZ has signed to Dipset, I'll reserve judgement until he drops some tracks.

    Again a new album thats been getting strong reviews...
