Just wondering what everyone is waiting on this year. I'm definitely getting Statik Kxng and Horseshoe Gang's Anti-Trap Music. I'm thinking of picking up Kanye's... Are there any Bay Area rap albums coming out this year that are worth looking out for?
Had to do a little research for this...but, Looking forward to:
Top 5:
YG "still Crazy"
Kevin Gates "islah"
Key Loom "rules of engagement"
Shadow from East Co. Co.
J. Cole and Kendrick "reminiscing"
Some others:
Kanye - "swish"
Daz and Snoop "cuzzinZ"
T.I "the dime trap
Drake "views from the 6"
Macklemore "the unruly mess I've made"
Nas -Lost tapes 2
Nas- TBA
Schoolboy q - TBA
Boozie _out my feelings
Andre 3000_ (yeah right)
I'm sure there's others that I haven't really heard about.
I dunno about Nipsey Hussle. You would hope that after touring Europe for the first quarter, recovering over the summer, he would be ready to drop that "Victory Lap" in Nov or Dec AT LEAST.
Most anticipated rapper coming home from prison in 2016 = X-Raided.
Do you think this year could see the release of a 2Pac album? This is the 20th anniversary of his death and they are working on this All Eyes On Me biopic after all.
I could see a 2pac album this year. I'm not expecting much from it though. I think we've heard the best from his unreleased music.
That snoop and daz album isn't great by the way. The album cover had me expecting something different, it was mostly just the old pimp/player laid back grown up music snoop has been on the past decade. They did a rip song for uncle junebug though.

Anything released by Twisted Insane and Brainsick Music. Any posthumous Jacka tunes. And Brotha Lynch's Bullet Maker, G-Maccs Alter Ego 3, and Twin Evil 2 by Sav Sicc and Bleezo
He dropped Mailbox Money at the very end of 2014, I like it a lot more than Crenshaw. I haven't fucked with his music tough since The Marathon though, I was a big fan of his BAGNN run and the marathon but most of what he dropped afterwards is inconsistent. Mailbox was his best since the marathon though imo, give that a spin if you haven't already
I'm thinking of getting Kanye's, if the music is the same kind as G.O.O.D. Fridays. Will pick up the Urban Hitchcock LP too because When Music Worlds Collide was so good (Urban Hitchcock — Home). I have good hopes for a 2Pac album that's not another repackaged Greatest Hits/Best Of album. Is there enough material for a Mob Figaz album to be put together?
