Albums that looked great on paper but failed to deliver ?

[mrken12]

i

it waws 10/10. fukk you.

No it wasn't. Lift Off alone knocks off a couple of points.

 

[King Poetic]

this was the beginning of the end for me after this joint

 

[I love Latina women]

I don't advertise it like these weirdos on here with artist but I'm probably the biggest dre Stan here


There is nothing wrong with saying someone with a 20 plus year had a few hiccups. Due is the GOAT producer no contest

i ain't sayin' he didn't have a few "hiccups". all artists have a few hiccups, even the great ones

but the way dr. dre gets hated on is just unbelievable. a lot of people be actin' like dr. dre ain't got ground breakin' and classic albums "produced by" to his name. that's all i'm sayin'. yeah, dr. dre has had a few hiccups and put out some lackluster material before but his highs are a lot higher than his lows and the average producer in hip hop

 

[Durrbrowski]

Wu-tang Forever.

Was a youngin and was so hyped for the Wu return

Triumph was instantly a classic single. I was so amped.

But honestly the shyt was underwhelming considering the hype and how geeked nikkas were post 36chambers.

I blame all that MTV hype n shyt.

 

[nasty]

Terminology first album

 

[BocaRear]

i

it waws 10/10. fukk you.

my answer is Jadakiss - Kiss of Death. Solid 7/10 at best album but given some of the songs...it coulda been a classic

 

[Danie84]

As a Nas stan, I thought Street Disciple was going to be epic, but just one disc and a half of the other lived up to the hype

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

pretty sure Kurupt - Kuruption qualifies, i'm gonna revisit soon

i agree with wu forever

 

[Zero]

The Firm

Nas
AZ
Foxy Brown
Nature

Dr. Dre
Trackmasters

Album was average

Came in here to say this

 

[Zero]

and of course BOOT CAMPS debut

AWW MAN.....you drop classic solo albums back to back...then this shyt? They recovered but still

Most of the Coli was hype for this (the pre-album thread did NUMBERS). This shyt was a snoozefest. Ghost was sluggish on here

This shyt didn't click for me at all really....was suprised because Ghost is top 5 for me

Ras Kass - Rassassination. Thought he'd finally get A-level production....ends up the production on Soul on Ice were better

Rasassination was crack.

 

[mbewane]

The Red & Meth albums. Seemed like a great pairing but they went too far into deaf squad mode beat wise and Meth became goofy and lost his sinister Wu edge.


I suppose OJ Simpson too with all the damn skits.

Yep, was always kinda dissapointed in the red & meth albums

the 213 album probably fits this thread but i don't remember it enough to hate it

Me neither, and that's saying something about it...=

and of course BOOT CAMPS debut

One of the biggest letdowns ever as a young'n.

Most of the Coli was hype for this (the pre-album thread did NUMBERS). This shyt was a snoozefest. Ghost was sluggish on here

Dope cover, concept, and didn't deliver imo...same with that Wu-Massacre album...Birth of a Prince and Digi Snacks because I thought Rza was done experimenting and that we would finally get a real RZA album...turns out we probably'll never get it

 

[FreshAIG]

Rasassination was crack.

That's one of the only good songs on there

The Title Track
Conceited b*stard
It Is What it Is
H20 Proof
Interview With a Vampire

were all piff

The rest of the album was skippable or just outright trash
