I know there are many
My all time 1 has to be the Dogfarther

Well... it's not WACK, but the last album to let me down by giving me something totally out of line with what I expected was Quik's UTI.
I really like the album now, but at the time I was expecting something more traditionally "Quik".
-
yeah i had the same thing wit the BONES and WASH sondtracks
-
Until The End Of Time - 2Pac
UTI - Dj quik
Snoop - Deathrows Greatest Hits
Think the Wash was a great soundtrack after a few listens it kind of grows on you. There are lots of albums but I was dissapointed in Quiks UTI. It didnt sound like an album of his. The only track of traditional style was Trouble & One on 1
-
50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin
Snoop Dogg - Paid Tha Cost To Be Tha Boss
2Pac - Better Dayz
Jay Z - Blueprint 2
NaS - Gods Son
Death Row Presents...Dysfunktional Family...Got this March 5th, expected more
-
almost every Snoop album since Doggfather
Until the end of time
Balance and Options
but I think the album that is the perfect definition of this category is Jadakiss "Kiss tha game goodbye".
-
Balance and Options
You think Balance n Options is wack? Damn homie, I love that album
my choice is Da Game..........
-
Balance and Options
He intended to put most of his least liked work into this while at the same time adding a few new tracks. This album was destroyed by the pointless skits that make you loose interest. If this had been filled with full tracks all the way this could have been a brilliant album.
Yeh God's Son - expecting more
-
Xzibit "Man vs Machine"
Wu Tang Forever
-
Snoop Dogg - Paid Tha Cost To Be Tha Boss
;D
-
Some people can't post anything in a forum without dissing "Paid tha cost..." Quite annoying,especially considering it ain't bad at all.

There's a lot of albums that have disappointed me over the years... but none more than:
Xzibit's "Man vs. Machine".
Prior to its release I remember reading that Xzibit said he had used only 1/5 of his lyrical potential on "Restless" and with all the hype surrounding the album I was expecting a mind-blowing effort. I waited for ages, and considering the long amount of time X had to work on this record it just didn't live up to its promise. The album was extremely underwhelming, and contrary to his promise, X was very unfocused on the mic. Even the Dre beats were sub-par on this album, what's even more fucked up is that the LP's by far best track, "What A Mess", were placed on the fuckin bonus disc. THE disappointment of the year 2002 for me.
Other albums which come to mind:
Eminem - The Eminem Show (good, but appeal wore off quickly)
Jay-Z - Blueprint 2 (another good album, but I expected much more)
Nate Dogg - Music & More (underwhelming)
There's lots more, but that should do for now. Peace

everyone has different tastes babe ;D

Dj Quik's last album well Under Tha Influence

I never have high expectations for soundtracks or compilations no matter what the line up is. Most artists use them for their leftover tracks.
I wouldn't say wack but albums I couldn't wait for but was a little disapointed:
Snoop Dogg - The Game... & Paid The Cost...
Xzibit - Man Vs. Machine
50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
Ras Kass - Van Gogh (eventhough it's unreleased)
Again, I just had higher expectations for these.
-
damn i think man vs machine is dope and has 5 excellent tracks that are a hard to come by from the west coast...anyway my top 5
1 space boogie(man i was soooo looking forward to this after streetz...and it really sucked)
2 paid da cost(i wasnt expecting much, but it couldnt even live up to that)
3 the last meal(after a classic album(nl topp dogg)..came this after, hearing kokane on all those tracks i threw up...had such potential
4 until the end of time (the production had me soooo pissed off)
5 50 cent..the most overrated album of all time, it was so hyped and had a great single...but the album sucks and i only listened to it for a week or two
-
Paid Tha Cost
Dysfunktional Family.............But thats growing on me real quick!!!!!
Blasts out IM BACK (TRACK 2)
-
this post is about opinions and if someone feels PTCTBTB wasn't good then oh well...doesn't mean you have to feel the same way...
i'd say... man vs machine: i gave this cd about 3 spins and lost interest
all stars: with all this talent....just don't see how they fucked up
return of the regulator: just no where near the quality of regulator. i think the hype was mostly the titles fault
-
Snoop - Paid tha cost....
Lady Of Rage
50 cent
Snoop - Da Game
Xzibit - Man vs Machine

ImO...

The Geto boys "Da Good Da Bad & Da Ugly"
I'm a huge Face, The Geto Boys fan since the jumpstart of Rap-a-lot. but yo Even having The best rapper the south has ever known as your front man can't help this shit cd. ImO...this is the worst cd in the history of Hip-hop.
It can't be listened to.
Besides Gangsta (put me down) it don't have shitt worth the $11.99, Rap-a-lot should have gave these away.

Man Vs Machine was a major letdown having expected something amazing from that album, and then getting what sounded like a half assed effort all round. Like KVB said, they actually put the best track on the bonus disc, and the lyrics in that track actually contradicted his entire album. I am hoping he recorded that when he had completed the album, realising that prehaps the actual album wasn't as dope as it should have been, and we will now see more of that type of Xzibit on his next album.
-
that "we from the lbc" album was pretty wack
-
DJ Quik - Under the influence
Geto Boys - Da good da bad and da ugly

-
There were no albums that I was anticipating that ended up being shit, but there were some that were well bellow expectations even if they were still really good.
Xzibit-Man vs. Machine
Well I guess the machine won, becasue this was an 7.5 to 8 album when we were supposed to get a 9 to 9.5 album. I was expecting the beats to be even better than Restless and for Xzibit to come much stronger lyrically, especially after all the bull shit he said about him using 5% of his skill on Restless and how with the extra time on this album he was gonna be really strong lyrically. Well the beats were bellow Restless and even Dre couldnt give a couple of classic gems for this album. If he came at 5% lyrically on Restless than he must have come at 4% this time around. X better get his head straight and give us a classic next time around or I'm gonna ruff him up when I see him at a club.
DJ Quik-Under The Influence
Quik was also hyping this up and saying he was gonna have beats on it that he was saving for years and that it was gonna be a great album. Well it was a relly good album, but not on the level of Rythamalism, Safe and Sound, and Way Too Fonky. It was instead on the level of his first album and of Balance and Options which he purposfully tried to fuck up to get out of his contract. The main problem with this album was Dre's Influence and the fact that Quik did not have time to do what Dre has done many times before, and that is change his sound. Dre told him you are too good to do one type of sound and you should do some other styles. The thing is that when Dre makes a new sound it take several years and he is the best at it. Quik probably had a year and a half ever since Dre's "Influence" so what he came up with were bangers, but they were not classics like they could have been had he used is regular sound or taken more time. I just hope that the info is true and that Quik is making another album, because he is only second to Dre.
Snoop Dogg-Paid The Cost To Be The Boss
I was expecting a near classic album about 7 moths before the release, but after hearing some of the leaked track from his label my expectations were brought down, and when I heard that he wanted to do things on his own and not have Dre produce my expectations fell even more. This was a good album, but it was bellow the Kokane infested Last Meal when it should have been at least a little above it. I'm a big Snoop fan but he has been really dissapointing me lately by being lazy. What he did with this album was have fun and try to cash in by using the Neptunes. What he should have done was try and make a classic album like Nas a Jay-Z have been trying with their last two. The difference is that he has the ability to make a classic album while those other two don't. Snoop has a stable of artists and producers and can work with anybody in the industry, but instead of trying hard he tries to have fun and play wanna be pimp. There in no reason that he couldn't make a classic while having fun and after all those dissapointing albums since Doggystyle he ows one to the fans that have suck by him.

What I meant by that is that they have actually tried in the last couple years and did not succeed in making another Illmatic or Reasonable Doubt, but I don't think Snoop has tried to make another Doggystyle in the last few years when he actually could have.
-
damn, I agree with alot of the cds ya'll mentioned. I gotta go with the wash soundtrack as the worst one imo. I had such high expectations for that cd.
-
Me2. I thought alBum would B filled wit Dre Produktion and or hella SnooP & Dre songz. I ain't triPPin tho, I got my koPy free wit tha dvd.
-
nl topp dogg is supperior...why...no kokane, better production, snoop raps better on it, bitch please is one of snoops 3 best songs he's ever done, and well last meal really wasnt that good to begin with then trow in kokane and it sucked
I pretty much disagree with everything there....I like Last Meal a lot better.

Yall were right on almost everything but Imma hit you with this one right now:
Raekwon - Immobilarity :-[
Every fan that was down with Rae in the 90s knows what Im talkin bout. I think Master P had better production on Gameface than this CD had. It was the wackest shit I ever heard, and it came from the dopest lyricist I used to be fan of. Chef still cant recover since 1999.
Also I'd like to mention ODB's 3rd one (although it was released the same way as Face's Balls N My Word and Lynch's EBK4), all Mack 10 shit after the debut (what that guy thinks of I wonder), Ice Cube after 1996, E40 after 1996, MP Da Last Don ( yall dont even recall how dope MP was in 1996-1997), and Mystikal's Tarantula - some childish artificial porno shit.
