The Source has named its “The 30 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2014.”
Kendrick Lamar’s second major-label album is the #1 album on The Source’s list. “As the success of his debut album continues to skyrocket almost 16 months after its release, fans as well as media personalities are getting antsy wondering what does Kendrick have coming up next,” The Source’s article says. “In various interviews last year, Kendrick has denied that he was working on a new project, but he revealed in his GQ ‘Rapper of The Year’ cover story that he would enter the studio in January, immediately following theYeezus tour.”
Drake recently said that Kendrick Lamar’s debut album, 2012’s good kid, m.A.A.d city, was particularly noteworthy. “The last great concept album was [Kendrick Lamar’s]good kid, m.A.A.d city—still obviously true to his life but very conceptual,” the Toronto rapper said. “Very specific stories that need to be told. I always say hats off to that album. That album’s incredible, what an undertaking.”
A solo album from OutKast member Andre 3000 is #2 on The Source’s list. “When he does rap, it’s an event,” the story says. “An Andre 3000 guest verse has become as rare as a Jay Electronica single, and the quality-over-quantity certainly works here…Andre 3000 has carefully and meticulously chosen the artists and albums on which he bestows his talent, and the dividends have never not paid off.”

Rozay lost!
He’s on the list. Where is your homie, 50?
They put your boy right behind Future
He wasn’t even talking about 50, Ross stan.
andre 3000…more like outkast
no 50….no dre……i guess society has officialy given up on DETOX lol
Isaiah Rashad and Wiz Khalifa should be higher, and 50 should be on there.
No Slaughterhouse, nothing from Step Brothers, no Czarface 2…… And some of the artists on that list are atrocious. Also, A Better Tomorrow is missing, I am pumped for that, the next Nas album, and a few others.
No 50, no Slaughterhouse? Wack list
no one is anticipating a new meek mill album
he shouldnt even make a top 100
Missing Asher Roth
nobody misses asher roth. he sucks and his voice is mad annoying..
Niggas would rather hear a new Frank Ocean album than Mastermind LOLOL
Thats because Frank Ocean is actually a really good musician
and Rick Ross is trash with some decent production!
how come Slaughterhouse isnt on the list ?
Nicki Minaj? Really?
where the fuck is 50?
This list is full of retards. not looking forward to any of this shit… Doesn’t surprise me that the source came up with this.
Anyone wanting a Nikki Minaj or a Kanye album more than a Nas album should be shot.
How can they not lis Wu tang. or GZA and the worst part is not one person in here has mentioned them yet either but mention 50 cent who has been irrelevant for years.
Pretty sure I mentioned the Wu, didn’t know GZA was releasing an album though. I want Masta Ace to drop another album too.
gza been irrelevant for a lot longer than 50. CMON SON
all i can say is where’s yelawolf on this list? only album im waiting on and will be the best of 2014!

kids got no taste
The source has already been exposed for having biased opinions and putting on artists out of nepotism not based on actual “buzz”.. So this list is already Bullshit.. What would be more interesting is a HipHopDX.com top 30 most anticipated albums list.. otherwise this post is just a waste of journalism. #Truth
im pretty sure they did a list like that no?
Only album that matters is my 2nd album called My manager is a S.O.B
1.YELAWOLF : LOVE STORY

6. Ab-Soul
7. ScHoolboy Q
8. Jay Rock
9. Isaiah Rashad
10. Jay Electronica (yes, I know it won’t happen)
perfect list. i think gibbs should be 3 but still a lot better than this bs dx is postin
y’all boys be hurt because they don’t put your favorite rapper on the list huh… mane nobody is checking for Gibbs, his last album was weak ESLG or whatever… he should’ve stayed with Jeezy
Jay Electronica is never coming out with an album so kill that dream, it’s not happening bruh… STOP IT !!!!!!
i actually sort of agree with this list
jay elect is the only one who deserves to be on that list
jay electronica be thinkin he’s Dr. Dre or some shit. Jay Electronica fans have something great to look forward to! An album in the next 3 years and then one 10 years later!
Where the fuck is Detox at cmon Sauce
LMFAO
Where the fuck is your penis at cmon FATSO
really ?? nicki minaj at number 4 ?? straight up bull if u ask me
Ahead of Nas no less.
No, I understand why Nicki is number 4 on the list and it is very much true… You gotta look at it fan wise, she has more fans than Nas has stans… Nicki has over 5 million fans waiting on her album folk
And yet most of them won’t buy the album.
No RiFF RAFF: NEON iCON!?
Yelawolf – Love Story is in a League of it’s own .. Everything else is in the rat race trying to be #1 .. the Classics are here to stay .. Just wait and see …….
Where is Ice Cube’s Everythang’s Corrupt? Ran through the list twice to make sure they didn’t include the legend. Instead they put a puppet doll on 4th place. Fuck it!
Ain’t nobody checking for that shit but you anyway. That nigga better stick to movies, cause his music been garbage ever since the year 2000
I agree..im checkin for the IceCube album
fake ass Ice Cube, LMAO
nobody is checkin for T.I, Jeezy nor meek millz albums in 2014…and I cant believe people are waiting for a wiz khalifa album..bwhaha
1. Step Brothers (Evidence & The Alchemist) – Lord Steppington
I honestly blame 50 for NY hip hop being dead right now. He dissed just about all of new york’s hot rappers and drove his legion of dick riding fans to basically boycott Ja, Lox, Nas, Fat Joe, Camron and even tried to sink Jay-Z’s ship. After his hype died down there was basically nothing in the spotlight but Weezy and Rick Ross. Ja may have done a song with Bobby Brown but atleast he wasn’t cuddling with a shirtless Souljah Boy on the cover of XXL.
Dumb ass comment,
The only person’s career that 50 may have messed up your list is Ja. To blame one dude for messing up an entire genre of NY music is just plain stupid
I’m a 50 fan but I’m an even bigger fan of Nas, the Lox and Cam’ron. I never boycotted them because 50 dissed them and I don’t think a lot of people did. It’s not like you can see a noticeable difference in their record sales before and after the beef with 50, excluding ja of course.
I agree
Ice Cube – Everything’s Corrupt and Turf Talk’s Thug Therapy
Ice Cube – “Are we there yet”
lol, kendrick lamar looks like such a pussy
perfect poster boy for new generation of newschool bi-curious gay-friendly skinny jeans EDM rap
bi-curious gay-friendlyn edm rap? please tell me one kendrick lamar song that has an edm beat? and theres wayyy more rappers out there with that bicurious stuff from macklemore to a$ap so idk how you would put kenrick as the “poster boy”. idk whats worse you blatant homophobia or complete ignorance about kendricks music
” please tell me one kendrick lamar song that has an edm beat?”
its obvious he isnt familiar when any kendrick songs other than what he hears on the radio, thats why he basing his opinions on another mans looks.. lol so who’s really gay>?
i respect opinion and all, but kendrick is talented as fuck. Every kendric hater I’ve ever seen has no real “proof” or reason to hate, its usually some bullshit like what youre doin
long story short: kendrick haters are hip hops’ bitches
kendrick haters tend to be white boys who dont know shit about hip hop and are mad that there mans drake aint the center of attention anymore. nothin against drake, i just feel that most of this kendrick hate is comin from people buying into the hype of this made up “kendrick-drake beef”
ive seen kendrick haters come in black and white.
they call him gay and weird and a hipster even though they listen to clowns like Birdman and Rick Ross who go out of their way to put Kendrick on their songs!
manfans to the rescue. this fag says a bunch of words that when put together mean absolutely nothing. you punk ass bandwagon bitches
how are you guys not gonna put MOBB DEEP new album on this list???
this list FAILS!!!
you gonna regret this list when the MOBB DEEP album comes out.
or maybe you guys just like commercial rap these days…
Love the Mobb. Actually looking forward to their album more then Nas’ album. And Nas is easily the best ever hands down. With that said you nerds gotta stop bitching over a list.
It is still better than HipHopdx’s list
LOL at #4 & #10
RITTZ BITCH! this is all you need to know
I didnt know nicki minaj was still relevant…i didnt know she was ever relevant…
minaj made 30+ mil last year, thats not just hip hop relevant, that’s mainstream america relevant
almost none of that money came from hip-hop
thats american idol and k-mart clothing money
Neither will probably happen, but Jada’s solo [might happen] and the LOX record [doubt it].
All Black Hippie coming out with albums but not Black Hippie itself.
Nicki miniaj? Nah, 3/4 of her album will be pop hits, guarantee it.
ice cube should be here, horrible article
Slaughterhouse??
Google is paying 75$ per hour! Just work for few hours & spend more time with friends and family. On Sunday I bought themselves vaAlfa Romeo from having made $5637 this month.Useful site. open this link and click home tab>>>>>>>
BAy90.COM
WU-TANG CLAN!!!!!!
chef RAEKWON F.I.L.A. how iz this not on the list
NO LOX YELAWOLF SLAUGHTERHOUSE JADAKISS GHOSTFACE KILLAH ah fuck it who cares
Man, everybody is sleeping on Busta. His next album E.L.E 2 is going to shake the Earth.
LOVESTORY … nothing will be the same for real now
W.T.f WERE’S JAY ELECTRONICA …FUCKING PILE OF SHIT RACE BAITING HIP HOP DX
we were anticipating that album back in 2010 but its not coming so we moved on. if that lazy rappers wants to put something out before he turns 50 there might be a few people left who are still waiting for it
Nicki Minaj is number *4 and Nas is number of 6 … Hip hop dx is really becoming a joke of a site !!!!
i second that
Hip Hop DX most anticipated albums Nicki Minaj and (screech)aka Meek Mill . ROFL
hahaha screech
What a loser mag. Picking Kendrick for #1 lol
who else’s album is more anticipated from that list? be honest with yourself…. theres no drake, em, jay-z or macklemore and kanyes last album was trash so kendrick is basically the most popular rapper left in 2014.
i disagree with both of you. most anticipated album is duh kendrick no doubt. & jays album was cool kanyes album i loved. drake & macklemore irrelevant to me, i dont care much for radio trash.
aint nobody checking for nicki! unless you’re a 14 yr old white girl that practices twerking in the mirror.
Why are the people commenting on here always sound bitter and ignorant.
This is the list for the most anticipated albums, people need to chill. I think this list is perfect, the old school teacher’s pets might not agree.
Imma take Jeezy n Meek. You can have the rest of the weak ass niggas
TDE killing the game.
i am looking forward to 50 cent’s album. he should be on the list.
and game should not be on it. he was great but now his voice is gone. he doesn’t sound good anymore.
how is Lil Wayne’s Carter V not on the list
