also from the show last night at Sputnik, i wish i had my camera ..i would upload the video with the quickness. Stage presence means so much, when a performer has so much energy & gets the crowd live ..its amazing. I've def seen a few that hype up the crowd, it changes everything about the show,& how i feel about them as an emcee.


oh & another thing ...its SO cold outside its fuckin celsius ...hahahaha right Sandman? new slang people ..thats def going to be in an upcoming song or freestyle LOL ;D

luckily my bad luck with the mta late night missions home didnt fuck up the night ..i guess we had "a lil bit o' luck" who stole the big head idea ..shiiitttttt

Rakim - It's Nothin
Finally an official studio version.

Rakim - Hip Hop

Rakim's Seventh Seal to be released this year. "The number 7 has a lot of significance. The 7th letter of the alphabet is G -- that stands for God. There are 7 continents, 7 seas. The 'Seventh Seal' deals with that and also some revelations in the Bible...Some call it the end of the world, but for me it's the end of the old and the beginning of the new. By me naming my album that, I'm using it metaphorically in hip-hop. I'm hoping to kill the old state of hip-hop and start with the new." - Rakim


The Roots - 75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction)
Black Thought going innnn. This track is off of the upcoming album Rising Down, which is set to be released on April 29th 2008.

'08 albums

damn ..after coming home last night & settling in i knocked out and got a good 16 hours of sleep
..16 freakin hours ..lmao! i feel so great & energized ...i can take on anything! lolol ( i have a feeling i won't be going to sleep tonight lol )

ok so back to the title of the post ..

Hopefully '08 will be a great year for Hip Hop once again, there are many anticipated albums scheduled to come out ..but then again what are the chances nowadays that a hip hop album drops on its expected release date? or the chances that a hip hop album drops within 3 months of its scheduled date? ......or this year?!

my most anticipated hip hop album will have to be Nas right now, with the controversial tittle Nigger (yes a Jigga fan, CAN be a fan of Nas too lol) ..so waiting on Feb to come and see if it actually comes out then, considering there has been NO leaks what so ever, all we know are a couple title tracks & seen a possible album cover? Leaving us more anxious!

also, Detox is suppose to FINALLY come out?!



other albums that ARE or RUMORED to come out:

AZ - Undeniable
Immortal Technique - The Middle Passage
Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told
MF DOOM & Ghostface Killah - Swift & Changeable
DMX - Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later ( two albums in one day, a hip hop album & a gospel album )
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II ( he did an interview in '05 saying it was in the works .....it's '08 already Raekwon! )
Big L - Real Legends Never Die
Kanye West - A Good Ass Job
Memphis Bleek - The Process
50 Cent - Before I Self Destruct ( was suppose to come out in 2007, but Curtis came out instead )
Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 ( doubt it =/ )
Papoose - The Nacirema Dream
Styles P - Five Star General
Prodigy - H.N.I.C. 2
Q-Tip - The Renaissance
Juelz Santana - Born to Lose, Built to Win (The Reagan Era)
Eve - Here I Am
Foxy Brown - Black Roses ( or Brooklyn's Don Diva, i seen two different titles )
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III ( i can care less, i dislike him so much it's not even funny lol )
Rhymefest - El Che
Ja Rule - The Mirror




outside of hip hop, in a previous post i mentioned Estelle's album Shine, release date for that is February 12th ..I'll post on that when i listen to the album, see if i still feel the same lol
Erykah Badu's album Baduizm comes out next month as well on the 24!!

Album of the Year?

question was brought up on NEG's message boards ..and damnnn thats hard .. but i have to say American Gangster ..& noooo not just because i love Hov, but the album is dope all around!

Overall 2007 had a bunchhh of great albums! Hip Hop is Dead? siiiike!!! I think Nas really made the artists go innnnn this year after his album and the whole controversy that came with it, props! & hopefully he sets the bar with his album in Feb as well ..'08 will be crazy!
