Mass Appeal's president/ceo/whatever said Lost Tapes 2 is definitely coming in 2016. Still take it with a grain of salt given how many times it has been delayed, but we'll see.
Dunno what's up with the last Def Jam album. I thought we'd get some info this summer. Hard to see him aiming for a late fall or early winter release given that Drake, Adele, and possibly Kanye are coming out in that window.

This and the last song are great, some other gems too.This Warren G and Krit song got me like
nah, let's be honest, Wayne drained his own life force
destroy yourself with lean brehs
lil wayne sucks now because all he does is freestyle hard on everything and his style has universally fallen on the other side of corny as opposed to riding the line it traditionally had
he also picks the worst beats
but he still has it in him

Curtis tried to bring Ross down, didn't quite work. Ross kept making hype track and hype videos. Always has, right from Port of Miami.
We was like, "So Ross used to be a cop(Correctional Officer)??", "Yeah but don't mind that cos hit shit BUMPS", "...yeah...it's true...".
Good music overcomes all.
eh he's done anyway...he made the big mistake of releasing two albums in a year and he'll fade away now.. you NEVER release 2 albums in a year...unless you're Drake.

Yo, this Abstract Radio ep is surreal. I haven't listened to enough clips of top level comedians just shooting the shit, never mind these two. Pharcyde stannage too from Leo and Chris Rock ("top 10 album of all time", dat exceptional taste).
About to finally dig into The Documentary 2 + 2.5... Illa J's self titled was my album for the week. Cannonball, brehs.

The complexities of this reply
I was implying from a commercial success standpoint, hood billionaire sold far worse than mastermind. does his next album have any buzz, is anyone really clamoring for a new Rick Ross album anytime soon? nope.
when you follow up a good album like mastermind with that trash it kills any momentum you have even for a seasoned vet.
nah he's done...once you go on a downward spiral like that in hip hop you don't recover. might as well name his next album Teflon Don 2.
He already released a dope as fuck tape this year, whatever he releases afterwards people will check it out. Everybody knows he has talent, if it sucks life moves on. It's not like people buy anything blindly in this industry.
I say this probably a bigger fan of Game than anyone else here, Doc 2 is pretty offensive. Have no qualms calling this bad and probably replacing LAX as Game's worst album.
- The most pander-y work he's ever done, comes across generally in the boring/familiar production
- Pseudo-remixes to Biggie songs that are nowhere as good
- Diddy talking over beats in 2015
- Aping J. Cole on songs where J. Cole has more swag then stretching them out to like 8 minutes
- Generally terrible lyrics saying a whole lot of nothing (not expecting conscious raps, he just literally keeps saying the same thing over and over again without any of the energy or interesting verses he's known for), generally struggle bars (cool like LL! some things never made sense like Magic and AIDs!)
- Wasted Kendrick, Tip, Kanye features
- Every downtempo song sounds lifeless or a parody and that's the majority of the album
Basically none of Game's best traits as an MC come across on this. Only parts I liked are the semi-humorous tone of Bitch You Ain't Shit, The Documentary 2 (song is okay, it's no Born in the Trap, mostly the beat), and Just Another Day. I don't know what anyone can see in this project as a whole TBH.

y'all will call me crazy but your album will be creatively bankrupt when you release a sequel album to a classic. happens just about all the time.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Difference is Travi$ Scott usually takes things he's influenced by to a whole other level and improves them. Plus he's really good at managing, meshing and combining sounds, whereas Doc 2 has like zero executive production that occurred here.
So yeah nothing alike.

Rodeo definitely AotY in multiple respects. Variety and consistency alone it's unmatched, next closest thing is probably Summertime '06. Everything else has significantly more stinkers (DS2, Fetty Wap, ALLA, DSP, DWMTM) or doesn't hold up so well upon subsequent listens (Yen Lo, Mr. Wonderful).
I'm curious about your Doc 2.5 impressions.
sorry to hear that man, hope you get better soon
thoughts and prayers with you

What's your AoTY, Spongebob?
I remember you saying it you weren't feeling it as match as DBR or Owl Pharoah and yet it's still your AOTY. Let's be honest it was destined to be your AOTY no matter what it sounded like it or what released this year.
TPAB I think; not something that I listen to on a daily basis but as an overall project it impressed me the most. Almost every other major album looks childish next to it in terms of concept and execution. Loved DS2 and Summertime as well
Waiting for Views and maybe some surprise releases from Gibbs or whoever tho
Metro Thuggin coming out December 25th if we all be good boys. Believe.
Is enzo just realizing Game has terrible lyrics? Name dropping aside, he's always used vacuous storytelling and shitty punchlines as his primary devices. Moments of insight, commentary or some kind of self reflection are very few and far between. Even Jesus Piece which is supposed to be this gem shining in his awful catalog uses hamfisted religious imagery, with its only saving grace being its production.

TPAB is the runaway album of the year. Nothing comes close.
Not Carrie and Lowell
Not Currents
Not Summetime 06
Definitely not that trash that Beach House put out
Not Chvrches
Not Yen Lo
TPAB is one of my fave albums ever.
Rodeo is top 5 though.
