Closing out this week's news.... A few last minute changes are in store for Jay-Z's The Black Album. There will be 14-cuts with two bonus tracks as well. One of those bonus tracks will be produced by Dr. Dre and will more then likely be the LP's second-single. Also, the second bonus track maybe a Mel-Man produced track with MC Lyte on the hook that is supposed be straight bonkers. Similarly, Jay-Z is not the only person to bump his release date up too 11-14, as 50 Cent has done the same with G Unit's Beg For Mercy, so it looks like those K.O.N.Y discussions will be settled by Soundscan... Lastly, if that wasn't enough, we are hearing that rumors of a Jay-Z/Nas collaboration are not that far-fetched? Could it appear on The Black Album?? Hold your breath!! (Pizzo & Matty are skeptical.)
This is so good that it should be both in Main forum and Outbound.. ;D

good news, but i'll believe it when i hear it on the album :)

If this album is in stores on Friday then wouldn't we have the "real retail" by now?

not necessarily...some companies are really good about keeping shit until that last couple days.

But it's Tuesday night right now (EST). The stores don't get the album the day it's released. They usually get the shipment days before and you know someone would get a copy of it by now if that happened.

Maybe they're planning a little "delay"..

oh man, i cant wait for this
-
Not sure about the "qualifications" for a black album... but, wouldn't a feature be against those qualifications?
But then again, he did have his mom on the album. rofl.

My homie picked it up from Target today and I'm listening to it right now. I'll tell ya'all what it has, but this Target is very strange. I went to pick up God's Son last year on the release date, and got in a fight with the manager who insisted that it wasn't released until Tuesday (God's Son was moved up to a Friday) and this year they released Jay-Z early. No consistancy with this place... lol
-
does it have any extra tracks on it ?

it comes out friday though?

This shit would be too amazing!!! Especially considering that this album (IMO) is already the album of the year. I am even starting to feel the NEptunes tracks and Quik track, damn near the entire album! I never thought Jay could drop an album like this, unbelievable. If he really does add the tracks, this is gonna be classic material! Or just an incredible album!
Newsbreaker: Jay already said this aint a black album any more, which is obvious by the promotion, videos, etc. TOo bad he didnt stick with the originakl plan.....
And lastly, when has Hiphopsite ever been wrong?

About Rakim, for example. They gave a release date for the album (given to them by "very reliable" sources).
-
As far as a Nas track goes, I highly doubt there will be a JayZ ft. Nas on this album...But I cant wait to hear that Dre track. 8)
-
whats up MDOGG, aren't you gonna let us know whats on the album?
-
The CD is hot... I like this shit alot... might be my favorite Jay-Z. Thought there is no bonus tracks, but who knows if they put out a bonus disc. Though no Nas.

Now what's going to happen now is since these tracks aren't on the album that's in stores on Friday he will repress the album with the bonus tracks kinda like Blueprint 2.1 so he'll get more sales. People will buy the album now and since this Dre song will be the second single some people will get the new version.
-
i picked up the black album and the gunit today, and no dre or nas on the cd and i didnt win a benz or gunit chain

Is there still only 14 tracks or are there more on the actual released album?
-
there's only 14 tracks
hiphopsite dont get too much right these days, maybe jayz will do a bonus version with those tracks on it, or release it in another country with a bonus disk
-
maybe the early copies are different

Nice theory ;) And 'cause I bought too much shit in the last days (and will, 'cause I'll buy some discs from SandboxAutomatic [that's like a festival for non-Americans]), I'll wait a few weeks and watch curiously 8)

Seems like Hiphopsite was bullshitting.. >:(
Unless there's a "Black Album 1.1" or something.. ::)
