Hip Hop Predictions for 2018

[doublenegative]

J Cole's next project will receive undeniable critical and commercial acclaim.

Lil Wayne will not be free, and Dedication 6 will be panned.

Open Mike Eagle will have a strong placement or pseudo pop hit that will be a breakthrough for Mello Music Group.

Streaming music won't be affected by Net Neutrality in 2018. Lawsuits and other legal haggling will delay any change.

Speaking of streaming, Spotify will create a label.

A new artist that is 40+ will make noise.

Add on.

[doublenegative]

I don't think Kendrick will drop next year.

Rick Ross will cement his status as one of the best rappers of all time with another solid project.

There will not be a transition to focus on lyricism because old heads don't buy records.

Cardio B and Offset will not get married.

 

[doublenegative]

The market will support the growth of instrumental hip hop as a definable genre. There will be renewed emphasis on the producer.

Recording tech will really expand next year. Ableton 10 and Maschine 3 will be huge.

 

[Dylmatic]

Nas album done.
