Compilation albums always tend to suck. I have no expectations this time. And I didn't see it posted anywhere, but it looks like Born Sinner will be pushed back.


Yea, I saw that J. Cole quote, which is why I said I don't expect it on the 28th, though I'd love it then, haha.

Over: 3.25/5
Show Me a Good Time: 3/5
Up All Night (ft. Nicki Minaj): 3.75/5
-Would be great if Nicki wasn't here...
Fancy (ft. T.I. & Swizz Beatz): 3.25/5
-Why does Swizz Beatz do this to songs...
Shut It Down (ft. The-Dream): 3.75/5

Unforgettable (ft. Young Jeezy): 4/5

Light Up (ft. Jay-Z): 4/5
Miss Me (ft. Lil Wayne): 3.5/5

Find Your Love: 4.25/5
-Plz stick with R&B, Drake. Plz.
Thank Me Now: 3.75/5

3.7/5

This is significantly better than Take Care and if that album was more like this, I wouldn't be such a hater. The features here are better than on his sophomore effort as is his individual performance. Nicki still is trash, but that was to be expected. Why doesn't she just start making pop songs? Oh wait, she already does. My b. Anyways, back to the album. Based on my rating system, the album can be classified as average, though was very close to being above average (which is 3.76-4).

This was my third favorite album of 2011 (behind Returnof4Eva and Section 80) and it is so slept on. This is the best produced album i have heard in a long time and it has some good lyrics.

Best song on the album:

This was apparently supposed to be used in "Django Unchained"'s soundtrack, but wasn't used.

2 Chainz isn't as bad as you say he is, lol. I'm not saying he's great obviously, but he's not horrible. And I would have to say my least favorite rapper ever is French Montana. Can't stand him.

I'm excited for DC3 and I had no idea that there was gonna be a WTT 2. I'm excited for that too, now!
2 Chainz is fuckin awful

Him getting nominated for a grammy is a disgrace.

50 Cent studio albums: Get Rich or Die Trying (good), The Massacre (good), Curtis (par), and Before I Self-Destruct (below par). 50 is also probably going to be going through Dre on this one, I doubt he disappoints. After his first 2 he was too worried about doing other things and I don't even know if I consider BISD an actual studio album.

I feel you.. 50 is different for everyone, I just have faith in him for this because I have enjoyed his mixtapes lately.

Well, of the 4 songs I've heard from the album, Major Distribution was the best and it was meh at best. New Day was iight, My Life sucked, and First Date was trash. Not to mention that both of his mixtapes this year were bad. Actually, I'd say that The Lost Tape was downright horrible. 5 (Murder by Numbers) was below average to bad at times.
