so its 2007.........where the predictions at.....

[LyRiCaL_G]

yo i know these threads are pretty pointless but fuck it.........what y'all predict will/will not happen in 2007.....and what would y'all like to see or think needs to happen for hiphop in 07

peace.....

p.s.....im sure there was a similar thread made in beginning 06 about the year in predictions......i think in the outbound section, would be dope if someone raised that muhfucka so we could all see what happened...did not happen..........

[LyRiCaL_G]

oh yo here goes by the way..........

imma guess............

50 drops before buck.....sells huge after a dope club banger and through normal pre album marketing.....eg....bringin back old beefs, just in time,haha.....album turns out much better than people expect, since the nigga been working on it for a long ass time.......but still won't be GRODT level.....

Buck.....sells a good amount since the buzz for gunit kinda grows a lil after 50 sells major units even though it dropped to a all time low in 06 due to certain factors, no names needed, y'all know the facts........but this album ends up dissapointing......buck not as hungry as he was on his debut

Gunit drop a group album late in the year, to try and set the other niggaz up.....

aight nuff about gunit, next...........shady records.....

Eminem.......still not fully ready to drop a solo, but u know these so called cats who "hate" the limelight, really can't be away from it for too long......releases another d12 album to keep his name out there...album varies to from wack to dope, noone takes it serious apart from shady groupies......

stat quo........shady/aftermath.....releases album around june/july.........album turns out better than what cats may expect.......has some bangers on it.....sells decent....

no other cat releases an album, since they got no buzz.......and eminem will release an album, earliest in november/december 07, if he does......depending on the fate of "detox".....if that shit ever drops

aight now aftermath.......

like i said, i expect dre to make nuff dollars off 50......

some cats get dropped, new cats get signed, dre drops them in the following year..

no album from rae in 07....

eve splits

bishop either drops an album in september/october or has no album out in 07...........dre still looking for a "1st single"

busta splits......mutual agreement.....OR.........dre gives him space to do his own thing on aftermath........naaaaa can't see that happening......if busta stays on aftermath, i predict he has no album in 07, if he splits, imma guess late 07, he will drop another album....

we get official word from dre about whats cracking with him and detox.........if it drops, we see whats cracking with him/game/50 situation....but to me, detox won;t be released until dre finds a winning formula, and to me he aint got that for his new shit right now.....so i don't expect it to drop, though i hope im wrong......if detox don't drop..........expect a new em album late 07....dre passes him those "old detox "beats.....

South..........

still sell nuff records since they all got each others back down there.......but they don't be as successful as this year, most the big names or respected cats don't drop in 07............but u know......chamillionare will sell well imo....and i expect a fresh approach by lil jon in 07.......either the year that will keep him fresh in the game, or take him off radar......

east......

saigon will finally drop.....i predicted that in 06 to but yo, imma keep checkin on the nigga......does weak numbers....album is aight though

kanye drops late 07 with a new album

no jigga.....

no nas.....

papoose drops a album with heat and weak joints.....still ends up being decent....

something happens involving diddy....haha......

new beefs arise....

westcoast.....

crooked i remains unknown outside his followers, even though his talent is undeniable.....

game stays silent in regards of a new Lp....keeps his name out there through mixtapes/controversy....reacts to each gunit album dropped in the year....

snoop releases a album from one of his groups....no solo though...

some of the vets.....cube, ren, mack 10 or someone kinda old school makes some noise on the westcoast for the fans of the past success........

warren g stays silent........

blu division music gets no release dates from sony.......no music released g malone by the nigga...........we hear a mixtape from him but if he does release it is around summer time and he sells 200k max....his album dissapoints his hardcore fanbase.....but has some banger on it

Jr rothem.....gets established in 07 and works with both new cats and westcoast OG's on a few tracks, but doesnt really get involved with the west.....but in the most works with cats outside of hiphop and develops a scott storch type of ego and may fall off during the end of 07......i know this is kind of a stupid prediction and i hope im wrong, but the cat is working with britney spears right now......see i got problem with that aslong as he remembers the hiphop joints to and that shit don't puzzle his head...


quik continues doing his thang, loved in the westocoast.....respected elsewhere


Errrrrrr......

East makes some moves to try and balance shift of power which south currently possesses.....BUT....nothing major happens apart from the 50 and kanye joints.....though the east does help its case in 07.....Westcoast has a relatively quiet year but still, drops a few heaters and continues its westcoast movement.....if bishop and detox drop.......expect buzz to be at its highest since 2001 dropped......if they don;t drop, expect westcoast to still drop some heat, but nuttin major in terms of units sold

South still running shit come end of 2007

OH N YO

SOMEBODY GETS CLAPPED
SOMEBODY SENT TO PRISON
99 NIGGAZ GET DROPPED...
NEW AND OLD BEEFS STILL POPPIN
