There have been a few rap/hip-hop albums over the past year or two that i was really anticipating in the lead up to their release,but all of them were very disappointing.The first one was Busta Rhyme's The Big Bang.I was expecting big things from Busta on his Aftermath debut but apart from about 5 songs,the album was pretty mediocre.Other albums that i was looking forward to in advance,but was disappointed were:
Pac's Life Obviously i anticipate every 2Pac release and i had high hopes for this but it was a major let down.It is the worst ever 2Pac album imo.
4:21 The Day After I like Method Man and i like Tical and Tical 2000-Judgement Day.When i heard that Meth was to drop a new album i was excited.Went to the record store on release day to get this,got home and threw it on.Very dissapointing.Poor production for the most part.Meth seems past it now and only 2 or 3 songs worth talking about.
Food & Liquor I didnt really anticipate this one as much but a lot of people were building this up to be a classic.Its nothing special but its not the worst either.
Hip Hop Is Dead Oh How i looked forward to this.I was waiting for months.Bought it on release day.I fooled myself into believing it was a classic album because i am a Nas fan.Its not and its pretty mediocre with little replay value for me anyway.
Full Circle Ive always liked Xzibit and At The Speed Of Light is one of my favourite albums but after the disappointment of Weapons of Mass Destruction i was expecting X to redeem himself.Instead we got Full Circle.
Year of The Dog Again I was anticipating that DMX would change up his style for this one but its just the same as all his other albums.Same subject matter,similar production.DMX is well past his sell by date and has been boring for a while now.
The Blue Carpet Treatment I wasnt really anticipating this at all as i am not a big Snoop fan but people here were praising this after its release and some were saying that the old Doggystyle Snoop was back.I decided to buy it.I was left wondering what the fuss was about.This album sucks.
Eardrum I was looking forward to the new Talib Kweli album for a while now.Ive downloaded it and given it a few listens.I feel that it is a bit disappointing but it might grow on me.Its not as good as Reflection Eternal or Quality imo.
For Whom The Beat Tolls. As i said in the other thread, i couldnt wait anymore to hear Canibus's latest offering.Out of curiousity more than anything.I was listening to it today and i am disappointed by it.
I guess most of the albums that i have been anticipating the most have been released.I am happy with some but a lot of them have disappointed.The one i look forward to the most now is Raekwon's OB4CL2,but im kind of expecting to be disappointed.
