He's album is most likely coming out late spring '11 or early summer '11.

He has said he is putting a new mixtape out this month though.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Damn Spring/Summer of next year? Boooo I was looking forward to it this year.

I'm still waiting on TM103 that Jeezy has kept saying "TM103 Coming Soon Ya'll!!!". Well, hurry the hell and drop that joint lol.

Dossier, I listen to different styles of Rap just like you do as well. Some days I'll be bumpin' Lupe, Wale, J. Cole, Outkast(Chill, Laid Back Style) and then somedays I'll bump some Jeezy, Luda, Fab(System Thumping, South G **** Style) and any other Mixtape I got in my Ipod Collection. I could never see myself listening to just one style of Rap otherwise I'd get tired of it quick lol.

I agree with this whole statement. I was actually about to ask when TM103 was supposed to drop. I know it was supposed to be back in July or August but didn't happen. I know I didn't miss it cuz one of my neighbors is always on the latest Jeezy stuff to come out and he hasn't said a thing about it.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Yea, I pretty much got any mixtape/album Jeezy has dropped (including some crappy *** blend CD haha)but I just hope he hasn't pushed it back to a later date.

yeah you get it, I just feel like in hip hop you're either a mainstream fan or an underground fan, rap about "mature" ish or "immature" ish. I've always been of the, if it sounds good and I like it, then I like it regardless of intended audience or essence of the song.

btw you mentioned some great rappers imo

And that sux about J. Cole, I'm looking forward to that album just as much as Lupe's. The mixtape should be ridiculously good tho.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

What is your guys' opinion on Asher Roth?

Ehhh. He's alright but really nothing special at all. I'd need many hands to count the number of guys out there right now better than him.

I did see the video to that G.R.I.N.D. track he has last night and it didn't sound too bad.

good looking out professa,

man I miss old school west coast hip hop, smoothest beats evar!!!

I do too. Old school west coast hip hop is what got me into rap music in the first place. Easily my favorite stuff.

Nowadays there's too much "spacey" sounding stuff. I don't mind it but when everyone is doing it it gets annoying.

i thought it was this month

Yeah, so did I but I have no clue what happened. I guess at this point it got pushed back, but I never heard anything about it. Hope it comes out some time soon. At least Kanye is coming out next month so I'll have something new to listen to.

Also, just came across CyHi Da Prince a few days ago. Downloaded his mixtape Royal Flush and it's pretty good. He won't blow your mind but I was feeling what I heard, especially this:

**NSFW** <---- This would have helped my dumb*** out 10 days ago.

O thank god, I though you got banned permanently.

I'm really liking the Cynhi beat, isn't he Kanye's new protege?

I'm with you on the spacey, please in moderation. Hell even our beloved west coast rap has gone from f*** with dre day to under pressure. It seems the day of the instrument is dieing.

I think Asher is good and all, but I just don't feel he is a true musician, it's almost like it's forced stuff.

Damn, I thought it would've dropped after Trap or Die 2 came out back in June and then when it didn't come out then I thought it would release after 1,000 Grams but now it's December 14th?

And what's the deal with Game and his next joint, Red Room? He gonna release that this year as well?

idk, but since when did game turn "not thug"? He's workin with pharrel on songs? Don't get me wrong I love pharrel beats, but when I listen to Game it's because I wanna hear gangsta stuff.

Speaking of, what do you guys think of crooked I? Some song the dude beast's on

I don't think he's softened and personally I don't mind him working with Pharrell. He's probably looking for songs that will get his album to sell...whenever the hell R.E.D. Album comes out anyways.

I actually just downloaded Brake Lights (his latest mixtape from a few months ago). This sounded pretty good to me:

Don't know why I hesitated on downloading Brake Lights but it looks like I was missing out on some good tracks. Game is still one of my favorites, despite those damn name drops in almost all his tracks.
