I believe the material would be nice but nobody would give a shit and he would sell 567 copies in the first week. So exactly how does the game need that? and Im not just talkin sales but do you really believe it would create an impact?if he has dr. dre producing for him he has some impact somewhere.dubcc doesnt count

The album will be dope and X can still spit. But there will be no impact. Not on the charts, It wont get him on tour, No buzz will be created... Nobody will even talk about it except for maybe a few forums but uuhm.. yeah..As far as other rappers who I would want to drop an album to make an impact / get the west some real attention...I would say a Game album with real backing, a Kendrick Lamar album and a Black Hippy album with proper backing as well.Other than that I dont see anybody who could do it. Maybe that 1st generation shit? but not really sure on that. I wouldnt put my money on it.

If you're saying those other acts can do well 'with good backing' the same could be said for pretty much any artist. Xzibit can still bring it. First and formost he needs to focus on making good music, in the age of social networking etc. the buzz will follow.And 1st Generation hasn't got a hope in hell of doing anything but nostalgia touring and some CD sales to collectors and shit. I love those guys but their impact will be zero in the scheme of things

I love those guys but their impact will be zero in the scheme of thingsWell X did put out some singles a few years ago and absolutely nothing happened? I think it will be the same this time.The dudes I mentioned could do way better with some backing because they already have fans/followers IRL and on the internet. I know X has fans too but he is soooooooo far below the radar.And their stuff is more recent thats why I think it would be easier for them to create that real impact.No new fan of hip-hop bumps Best Of Things, Front 2 Back, Paparazzi etc. today but they do bump How We Do, Hol Up, Rigamortis etc. etc.I think the problem though with most rappers today are the fact that they are all fuckin junkies. Like that 1st Generation group.. Look at all those names... but all they do (Im guessin here and also judging from the videos weve seen) is smoke weed all day and freestyle whenever they are awake. lolI bet you Wiz Khalifa could not tell you off the head when his debut album dropped. lol
dude hasnt even been in a Hollwyood-movie since like 2007.

Unless you're an internet trend like Kreayshawn who'll be forgotten eventually. The only way these guys will blow up again is working hard on their pen game and working with real producers not beat-makers IMO.And some artists can have a huge following online but still be on the breadline (like Crooked I) coz he's got the type of fans that don't pay for their music - otherwise he would have dropped an album long ago.
