Most disappointing debut album ever?

[Air Nikes N Hats]

Tried to run with the traditional early 2000s blueprint..super producers, forced commerical chick tracks and catering to the west coast/south. Jadakiss first album was the same way and just as dissapointing.

Would be an interesting Verzuz...

Jada or Fab.....who had the more disappointing debut album. Constructed the exact same way, same hype, time period (you nailed it on those points)

How the hell is LODPAD on this list

Lol that album wasn’t anything near great. Classic example of a talented lyricist who failed at making a good album. I thought he might be next up when I heard his skills on Put It On and read The Source hype. Then he dropped a 3/5 dud.

Is this some kind of April Fool's joke

Voted Boot Camp until I saw Canibus on here

What’s LOTPAD?

 

[Horoyoi]

Can-I-bus easily.. it was so highly anticipated at the time and apart from a couple tracks was straight up
I mean Wyclef set him up for failure with the shytty beats, but canibus didn’t deliver either.. I was expecting “Beasts from the East” type bars and was disappointed to say the least

 

[NormanConnors]

Based off of the poll, Jay Electronica's album easily

Stop being obtuse.

that was a horrible choice.

it wasn’t a super hyped album at all and Big L was spitting

That’s because he had to literally strip it down because for whatever reason nikkas was shytting on sample clearance something crazy around that time.

yeah them sample clearances fukked it up for Krit, made something that could have been great into something that wasnt bad. But it wasnt as good as his tapes.

Def jam did not help him

That’s fine. Maybe I’m guilty of having too high expectations based on The Source 4 mics and rhyme of the month (although I do remember everyone basically saying he can rap but they don’t fukk with his album when it came out). The 0 votes have spoken.

But y’all need to stop acting like that album was a classic or anything of the sort. Nobody was playing that shyt. It didn’t chart anything and made no impact and it came out during a bloom period for east coast street rap and didn’t hold up. Y’all must be from NYC or Big L’s block in Harlem or something.

Big Sean's debut should be in here, i found that to be kinda lackluster

infact, when it comes to a sean album that i really love. DSP is prolly the one. And the first album where i constantly replayed a Sean LP. His first was subpar, second was him seeming to heat up, and DSP was it for me

Canibus shyt was trash. What a tremendous letdown. I remember hearing Beasts From The East off Lost Boyz album & thinking holy shyt this dude is NASTY. Nah. Brehs

But dude, surely you realize that just because YOU personally weren't feeling it based on what you expected doesn't mean most people feel the same way. That's why we don't understand why you put that album there, because it's nearly universally regarded as a dope album.

I guess people have different experiences. I remember the consensus from people I respect, older dudes I was around that talked about rap all day as well as myself was that he was super-talented but the album was mid.

I was expecting a lot more after hearing Put It On.
