It’s honestly been a while since the album releases trumped the mixtape releases. While most consumers would love some free music in the form of mixtapes, knowing they have to show up to their retailers or digi-stores to buy quality albums still means something, especially in Hip Hop. Today we get some big albums, like Big K.R.I.T.’s Live From the Underground, along with Curren$y’s The Stoned Immaculate. Both come highly anticipated, but there are also some more options like One Be Lo’s K.I.C.K. P.U.S.H. and Oh No’s Ohnomite, along with the Dubstep meets Rap combo of Cypress Hill and Rusko’s Cypressxrusko EP. Smoke DZA announced that Rugby Thompson is coming on June 19th, plus Alchemist’s Russian Roulette is coming July 17th, and it’s already shaping up to be a classic.
The biggest news this week, though, is that Jay-Z and Kanye West plan to revisit their Watch the Throne title with a Part 2. No word yet on when that will happen, but it’s more than likely going to follow Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music compilation, Cruel Summer. Outkast fans will be pleased to know that Big Boi has a title for his next solo album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. No set date yet, but it does bring up a bigger a point: Where’s Andre3000’s album? Well, Big Boi says as soon as his album drops (it’s about 80% done) then Mr. Benjamin will drop his solo. Hopefully once they get their solo albums released we can get that Outkast album we’ve been waiting for.

MY HOMEBOY WAS IN THE GUTTA TOO, AND HE CLEANER THAN ME NOW-gettin a condo!!
Hit em up – THEY WILL HELP U!!s
Kinda disappointed that Jay is doing another collabo album. I was hoping for a proper solo joint. Kanye is looking like his crutch for relevancy right now. It’s a shame.
This dumb ass commet should be removed as spam. Jay-Z a legend now and will always be relevant through his body of work. His music will always be timeless. When he ready to drop his next solo album, the rap world will be on his heels to get it dummy
Looking out for DMX, though I know I might be the only one that will buy his new shit…
i will support him.
Chino XL yeah…..
He needs to join the The HRSMN, as one monkey can’t stop no show…Goodie Mobb did it without Cee Lo who was a big part of the group, so can HRSMN can do withouth the valuable Ras Kass
Id rather cop a HRSMN than LaughterHouse. Them niggaz ain’t as deep as the Headless Horsemen
well you can remove slaughterhouse cause they’ve pushed it back to july
Laughterhouse will NOT drop in July either… yah, they such ‘smart’ ‘lyrical’ niggas they and Interscope just spent three months on hype, on tour etc… Iovine smells a corpse and it will be BURIED.
Hahaha…he said laughterhouse..get it? He took of the S now they is just a joke..haha.
That’s some clever shit right there, I bet it will catch on. Soon all the guys on hiphopdx will be calling them laughterhouse. This guy is on the forefront of innovation.
^lmao
laughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse lalaughterhouseughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse laughterhouse
word up. hopefully laughterhouse picks up steam like the other revolutionary gems such as kanGAY west (see what they did there? they took out “ye” and added “gay”) lil GAYne “they removed the “w” and added a “g” so that it sounds like “gay”) and dick floss instead of rick ross(they took out the r’s and add some more homoerotic phrases). these niggas are so fucking daring.
Watch the Throne 2?? First one was WACKKKKK.
your the one who is wack
i bet ur a wayne fan
You assholes, calling the article “Rap Release Dates: Big Boi” and then don’t have his damn release date. Still glad I clicked to find out Del, Bigg Jus and Chino are dropping.
i heard there was supposed to be a nas and common album coming out this year. Is there any truth to this. hopefully this 2nd watch the throne won’t be so dissapointing
the 1st wasnt it just was not for the general audience
push rick back he my dude but his album not ready meek should drop first ross singles suck and dead that mmg album the shit is horrible i already heard enough
Kanye should be making another hit album like my beautiful dark twisted fanstasy, why waste time with swag beats and old ass jay
A stupid saying that’s overused. People 90 per cent are dumb teenagers, 10 per cent are little ass kids trying to be cool use it for EVERYTHING and also as their facebook name thinking that shit’s cute: ‘I just opened a cabinet, SWAG.’ ‘I just fell down, lol, SWAG.’ ‘SWAGNIFICENT’ ‘(your name) idontgiveafuq gotsswagg’ ‘lives in swagtown’ ‘works at swagville’ ‘That show was so SWAG.’ ‘I just finished brushing my teeth, SWAG.’ ‘Hey guys, just woke up, SWAG.’ ‘Lol, I got kicked out of class, SWAG.’ ‘I cursed the teacher out, SWAG.’ ‘Tumbling on tumblr in class, SWAG.’ ‘(your name) the swag god’ ‘texting in class, SWAG’ … ‘SWAG.’ You don’t have no motherfucking swag.
You: ‘I got swag.’
Me: ‘That’s because you’re a fucking retard trying to be like the rest of the try hards thinking their dumb ass have swag.’
the best thing about mmg is the album titles they sound so deep then you just get the same old miami beats
nah he just plain stupid “nerd rap” thats code for i cant read pass a 5th grade level so i dont know what a metaphor or simile is probably cant even pronounce the words. he like rappers that have sound effects like whup whup or ahhhh
OR SOME DUMB SHIT LIKE.. BURR BURR LOL
he like rappers that have sound effects like whup whup or ahhhh
lmao
Wheres kool g/necro 🙁
JAY-Z AND KANYE WEST ARE THE ONLY 2 THAT MATTER TO HIPHOP
Can meek mill do bigger #’s then wiz
c;mon son
jay is not even making music at the moment. this album was confirmed as a mere idea. its not even in the infant stages yet. its just an idea. why is news. no fuck shit its coming out after the good album. just another excuses to put big names in the headline for more views. only dx does shit like this. wtt2 wont even drop this year. Why are you reporting this as a main topic??
