Pharoahe Monch - Desire!

Sm0ke

FINALLY that might pharohe(of organised Konfusion for those who dont remember) is bring out his sophmore album!!! im delighted, loved internal affairs and monchs voice and lyricism still consistently amazes me(even without hearing much new material in like 5 years?)

but i have reservations, he may sell out, be another wannabe and release sub-par material just to sell. hopefully not tho

this may be common knowledge but i only heard about this recently release says 13/11/2006 on play.com

about gawd damn time. i've been waiting for this since the 1st time i listened to internal affairs. after i heard that i started checking out his organised konfusion stuff which is also quality. Monch is a phenomenal lyricist & mc, i can't wait for this & i'm quite hopeful about it. Thank f*ck he didn't get signed up by bad boy or shady, major potential disaster avoided. i hope it lives up to my expectations, but don't know if it can!

I'm waiting for this album along with the new Hi-Tek and Clipse albums(they all going to bang,I can feel it)more then any other albums.The new Nas has me disinterested frankly, considering the list of producers he has backing him.Jay-Z's first two tracks off his newest basically stink, and the new AZ is typically tight but nothing really special.

New Hi-Tek is very good. Prefer it to Hi-Teknology.

I'm going into Virgin and getting Desire, Dre's Detox and that new AZ/Nas/Cormega album next week.

Can't wait.;)

BTW Prince Po dropped an album as well this month which is supposed to be good. Get the excellent Hip-Hop connection as well, got a good interview with Monch.And finally, one of the best tracks I've heard this year was Love with Phoraohe on that J Dilla album The Shining.

must check out prince po album. Have the slickness which is a little hit and miss but not bad and as he was part of organised konfusion you gotta have high enough expectations for it. Haven't gotten that dilla album, everytime i go in i see it but am gettin something else at the time (i'm trying to cut down on my purchases ) but i must get hold of it

I recommend the new CL Smooth album too. Lacks the Pete Rock production but it's the same old CL Smooth.

So is this album ever gonna drop. I pre-ordered it on Play.com and it originally gave a release date as 13/11. It then just showed up as coming soon. Then i popped on yesterday and it now says release date is 12/2/2007, wtf!?! It better be worth the wait!

Orizio

I heard the 19th, the same day as HHID but it wouldn't suprise me if it was pushed back until Spring.
