That Roots album looks like it might be sick. Actually all the albums look pretty good but im not sure about Ludacris's album. That looks practically the same as that wack DTP compilation that just came out.

Busta's album is definitely the one on there I'm most excited about.  And if Mobb Deep's album actually DOES get put out (has it even been confirmed yet by the label?), I'll cop that shit, too.

Post by: Eihtball on January 21, 2006, 08:04:33 PM
Yeah, Saigon's album is LONG overdue.  Not that I'm particularly excited about it (I listen to Immortal Technique to get on my political tip), but it's supposed to come out this March.

well most of the websites, magazines didn't put it coz I think they tired to put it on the list since 2002. Plus you know nothing is sure it'll come out this year. Anyway this list is BS : No Saigon, Raekwon... Game ? it's a joke there will be no album from Game in 06  :grumpy:

Title: Re: XXL Top 10 Most Anticipated Hip-Hop Albums for 2006
Post by: Elevz on January 22, 2006, 03:48:03 AM
If everything that we've been promised comes out this year, it's going to be the resurrection of Hip-Hop in 2006. Of course that's not very likely, but still, there's some seriously hype stuff going on that XXL isn't even catching up on.

My list would be something like

1. Nas - NASDAQ Jones
2. Dr. Dre - Detox
3. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II
4. Common - ??
5. The Roots - Game theory
6. Saigon - The greatest story never told
7. Ghostface - Fishscale
8. Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang
9. OutKast - Idlewild
10. Mos Def - ??

I'm "afraid" the Nas album will be something with even less mass appeal than Street's Disciple. I loved that whole album though, so I really can't wait to hear his new album.

To be honest it's a westcoast classic..I was really tired of westcoast rap but Game's album brought it back by making the best westcoast album since 2001

Yeah for real, she's always doing that HIGH high pitched voice on her tracks.

If I was to pick a female singer to appear on a track, I'd go for Mary J or Alicia Keys. Maybe Brandy. That Keisha Cole chick's been getting a lot of attention lately, but I haven't heard anything from her so I don't know about her.

The list is wack though, but then again, what can you expect from a half-assed hip-hop glitter mag like XXL? Me, I'm anticipating new albums from:

(not in specific order)

The Game
Snoop (redeem yourself on this one, man! None of that R&G shit this time.)
Dr. Dre (IF that happens this year...)
Nas
Ice Cube
Redman (hell yeah, 'bout damn time)
Busta Rhymes
Outkast
DMX (can he still do it? I'm thinking yes, as long as he hasn't been on the pipe while in the studio)

nice to see game on the list......but mobb and game over bustas album???.....

i think im more hyped about big bang than anything at the moment......dre spent so long making this it has to be dope when it comes out or people will just clown them, they brought the pressure on themselves by taking so long, nuttin to do with the dre/busta combo or the title, big bang, but the amount of time they spent on it.....

i hope game drops a follow up to doc this year to, but no wack shit, wait till its fully right and dre done a big part on it
