Also, I take issue with the use of the words “Ultimate Crew.”

Are we living in some kind of alternate reality where THESE MOTHERFUCKERS were never born?!

Speaking of the Wu, any word on the [horrendously titled but sure to be brilliant because that's just the way shit goes with the Wu] new album? I know there's an official release date but damned if I don't have doubts about whether it will actually land on... That date that I never looked into. Heh.

Yeah I see that now. Well... Fuck me for a fool. ;)

What did you think of the EP?

Now that is what I want to hear.. what I loved about doctors advocate and lax files was how solid westcoast gangsta rap throwback those beats were!

Tha Carter V dropping in 4 days. no tracklist, no promo. what can we expect?

a last minute delay?

doubt it man. there's a listening party on Sunday, plus the Young Money camp keeps tweeting about it. seems like it's really happening.

was more my attempt at humor. :)

lol, you know how it is though. if we're being realistic there's still a chance it'll get delayed.

judging by the singles we've gotten so far, i should expect no more than a mediocre album.

however the diehard Weezy fan in me keeps hoping for a classic.

but at this point i should probably know better. Wayne gives us what we need, not what we want.

w/ you 100%. Every album I'm like "this is it. He's gonna make another classic." Then I'm disappointed. Then I'm like "Well, still a good album I listen to a lot. Just not a classic."

Tinashe album is so good! i wasn't even expecting anything but damn. check it out guys. features by Schoolboy, A$AP Rocky and Future. the production is great, every song slaps.

You're kinda comparing him to Batman, and something about that rubs me wrong.

Wayne gives the public what they want. He gives us (hip-hop fans of Cafe level devotion and intellect) what we may want in the short-term (new albums, a club banger here and there that isn't shit) but hasn't given us what we need in a long time.

And he's starting to be written off by more and more of the general population. Honestly, I still have a die hard wayne fan in me as well, but if this album is another predictable excercise in mediocrity, I'm gonna start feeling like he doesn't deserve fans like us.

Pains me to say it, but Wayne is inches away from complete irrelevance. I wish him the best, and hold out hope that the album is a win.

I'm somewhere in the middle. Diehard Wayne fan. Still think he has amazing albums in him. Still think his albums are mediocre and by the numbers. Love the guy. Want so much out of him. Expect so much. And expect dissapointment. It's complicated.

The young Siddhartha leaves his fathers palace...

Wait, who's Siddhartha in this analogy? Me? NR? Weezy?

well...

i shouldn't tell you how disappointed i am. :)

Ok so RTJ2 is insane. On another level entirely than anyhing else this year.

Better than their debut by leaps and bounds. I've had it for a week now but I just listened to it today for the first time.

Holy shit, my brothers.

Who cares if Carter is delayed (again) when this shits fresh out.
