when is that liquid swordz 2 coming out!?!?
september or october
thats about to be fire
Hey why didn’t you guys add MF Grimm You Only Live Twice album?
That album is gonna come out in 2 or 3 weeks.
Why don’t you have Trap or Die 2 up yet? Why do I get linked to your shitty online store every time I click on the side of the page and lose my place in mixtapes and songs? Maybe I don’t want shitty Drake and Jay-Z quotes for t-shirts. Why’s every album get 3.5 stars? This website is great but it’s flawed, fix your shit up. I’m sorry if you’re losing money on the online store but stop pushing it so hard
yea I know the clicking on the side of the page trick is aggravating bullshit. It’s pretty much a hiphopdx pop up. We’re getting rid of by the end of the week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
the roots.
big boi.
eminem
Reflection Eternal
Nas/ Damian Marley
there will be no shortage of bangers this summer
yea boy stat quo, joell, and vinnie paz also plus bone thugs came out today
Joell & Paz came out today? Bullshit. 0_o
naw fool bone thugs did i was addin to his list of bangers this summer
r.e.d. album?
YO! Check out that Roc Marciano… Marcberg album, it’s some fucking ill shit!!
Whatever man!
I’m just not cool with how Joe Budden goes in on Kat Stacks and Somaya on twitter (a bitchmade network if you ask me), i think his energy and attention should be directed exclusively towards mixtapes, EP’s and hiphop in general.
I mean, nigga still does this shit after getting a fuckin’ cosign from EMINEM! That’s a big deal, way bigger than Kat Stax birth canal.
Budden’s character is highly suspect. He often acts like a bitch so I’m not surprised he uses a bitchmade network as you say
That Necro video is RETARDED.
i came to that conclusion without even clicking on it lol.
idk even know who he is
damn, May 18th is going to be a f’n great day for hip hop. Distant Relatives and R.P.M. wow!
yeahh new Godfather Don!!!
I’ma buy that Roc Marciano, that Distant Relatives, that Chamillionaire, that Roots.
Shellin out some cash this summer i guess. Finally Crooked has an album coming out.
That’s old unreleased material. His new album is called “Million Dollar Story” and that should be out in the fall.
where is big boi?
i dont think theres a date yet

Damn, this is gonna be a sick summer for music.
May 11th, May18th, June 15th & June 22nd are all dates where I’ll be buying multiple releases.
I seriously doubt that Joell & Crooked I’s albums will drop on the same day, expect yet another push-back for one or both.

Never understood why you overload release dates. B.o.B released his shit when no one else did, sold under 85,000 and got #1. Now you got 2 weeks packed full of releases from big names on 6/15 (Crooked, 2Pac, Game, Drake, Joell Ortiz) & 6/22 (Em, Jeezy & The Roots). You know Drake will be #1 on 6/15 & Eminem will be #1 on week 6/22. If you are Jeezy or Game, why not release your shit 6/1 or 6/8 and get a #1 album? I don’t get it…
CUZ THEY DONT HAVE A CHOICE ITS THE RECORD LABEL…..
FUK PAC HE WAS A FAKE
there is a “web//site” named “sexyblackwhite” for dateing or relationship, black or white singles can go there to find something sexy or beauty online
Venom and Distant Relatives. These two will be purchased. Oh, and that Eminem too, he’s been impressing me lately.
