2014 hip hop predictions

[Still Benefited]

Lil Boosie will get out of jail and every rapper will want to hop on his shyt or have him get on they tracks. Is it possible to be in jail that long and not come out Larry Holmes status?I hope so,this could be big for hiphop and change the entire climate if he come out and shut shyt down...a voice change might even do em some good long as it aint as extreme as Shynes

 

[Ohene]

Schoolboy Q doesn't really seem to have the juice anymore. He could build up his buzz again but I dunno, should've dropped the album this year.

A$AP Ferg?

agree on Q. as for ferg...the rocky afilliation could work wonders youd be surprised

 

[dubsmith_nz]

That Bloodraw album was an olympic style frisbee....I threw that bytch across the oceans breh

Lol ill leave that album in the bushes where it belongs then.

 

[Easy-E]

Jay and Kanye will drop another cd bragging about rocking white people's clothes and and how much better they are than lower class people

But, I agree with all these:




This are all interesting predictions:

Really, I see the music industry is going to change a lot, this time come NOV 2014.

I just don't this lasting (low sales; lack of new stars) and Rap will be the first to go. Not OVER, but, scaled back.

kendrick drops a mediocore follow up to GKMC

nas drops an illmatic 2

I agree, Kendrick's not gonna be able to "Industry Plant" his way to another "Event" album, when his first had zero hits and a forced hit with Drake.

A full fledged Drake beef won't even do that.

That Nas one is wishful thinking, but; I'm looking forward to a new Nas record WWAAAAYYYY more than I anticipated Magna Carta... ( I used to be a big Jay>Nas guy)

the jig

Macklemore sweeps the hip hop awards at the grammys


Drake starts to get that post-Massacre 50/post-jail Weezy hate and starts to lose fans at the end of 2014

More Industry Plants

Chief Keef gets dropped from Interscope

Def Jig folds

Back to what I'm sayin' about the industry; I agree that there will be a rise in "Industry Plants."

They'll feed the general public Rap, until they're tired of it and show a n undeniable appetite for pop-Rap, instead.

Drake may move to making R&B music, too.

Labels are not developing "artist" and they are not gonna keep investing in one hit wonders (All Gold..., I Don't Like) and I don't think a distracted public, at large, can digest "Real" Rap albums, anymore. Not an album with a bunch of singles.

They've always been "plants," but, with the internet is easy to spot these guys (Drake, Macklemore, Kendrick)

And I see the industry tryna sneak Chance The Rapper in there

Of course Keef is done. smh. And Def Jam is not gonna be able to not-make music too much longer.

106 & Park finally gets cancelled...


Rap City comes back for 4 months then gets cancelled again.

BET becomes 98% reality TV

BET is gonna eventually abandon Rap music all together.

Kendrick drops a solid follow up to GKMC but its commercial performance is disappointing (600k sold, no big hit record)

Watch The Throne doesn't come out due to Jay and Kanye being on different pages

I actually was surprised the first WTT actually came out; but, they had two monster records (Otis, ...In Paris) and people are just tired of 'Ye, it seems (Yeezus and Cruel Summer) & Jay probably isn't rushin another album.

Devil is a Lie strikes up a great wave of conspiracies surrounding Jay and Ross

Illuminati rumors died in the Rap internets.

Asap Rocky literally took a pic worshipping the devil and no one talks about it (I don't even want to link it).

But, Rick & Jay are actually a dope combo.

[Busby]

Drake is slowly gonna transition back into movies..

Kanye and Kim's relationship will become rocky, and the concept of All Of The Lights will become Ye's reality..and with that he will drop a classic album that will make everybody love him again..

Slaughterhouse's 3rd album will make everybody love them again..

ScHoolboy Q is gonna drop a very good album

K. Dot is gonna drop his It Was Written..

Everybody from MMG except Ross and Wale are going to become irreverent..

WTT 2 will not happen..

 

[Shadow King]

Kanye rushes an album out (third quarter 2014) to regain "us" after Yeezus and fails.

Ross drops either a classic or a dud (he needs to change that album title though).

I agree with whoever said 50 Cent 350k overall.

Also agree with Drake beginning to get some blatant hate. I think he's gonna try push a rapper from his OVO camp instead of a singer and the new kid's shine will amplify it, almost 50/Game-like.

Jay Elec finally drops in the fall and has a surprisingly solid first week (like 100k).

Not really hip-hop but Chris Brown crushes some buildings.

I think Kendrick's sophomore LP gets even more underground and he will be seen as 'dropping the ball' in the mainstream despite it being critically acclaimed. 700k overall.

Somebody dies from substance abuse.

The people turn on Future.

Wayne wakes up and gives us a solid Carter 5 and bows out, at least from solo recordings.

 

[DaveyDave]

Not that I don't think he has it in him.. I just think its not going to be anywhere near the likes of GKMC.

i don't think it will be another concept/story album and people will say it's wack because it's not the same as GKMC. whether it's as better or not as good is yet to be seen but if he puts the same amount of thought and work into it as he did with GKMC & Section80 then it will be dope

 

[really tho]

Asap Rocky literally took a pic worshipping the devil and no one talks about it (I don't even want to link it).

someone post the lank brehs.

my prediction? revolt flops

 

[Ziggiy]

Nas will drop a classic better than LIG (But NOT Illmatic part 2, Trillmatic, or any "Matic". That's done over and buried, y'all want that old shyt go listen to Illmatic)


An openly Gay rapper will hit mainstream. They've been pushing this fakkit agenda HARD for the past 4 years. It's only a matter of time and marketing at this point


Kendrick Lamar's follow up album will be ENTIRELY different from GKMC and polarize his fanbase, he'll also drop it in Winter.


Kanye West will direct a movie


A Tribe Called Quest will tour again for "The Last Time"


Rock The Bells will make a big comeback

RZA will be somehow get Ghostface and Raekwon to get their heads out of their asses and complete the final Wu-Tang album


Jay-Z will tour and make more money


T.I. will drop a dud

There will be NO Detox


Nicki Minaj will flop


Busta Rhymes drops his Cash Money album and it's better than ANYONE expected


Chris Brown and Rihanna get back together

 

[BigF]

NaS will drop a classic and this time it will have a mainstream feel.
King Kendrick with take his music to the next level.
Drake will simp.
A major beef will pop off.
Someone will die

 

[BigF]

Jay Elec finally drops in the fall and has a surprisingly solid first week (like 100k).
