The Tens: 10 Delayed Hip Hop Albums And If They Were Worth The Wait
It’s been a long time coming, but, Saigon‘s The Greatest Story Never Told finally saw the light of day. Years after burning up New York’s mixtape scene with songs like “Stocking Cap,” executing the power move of a lifetime with a role on HBO’s hit series Entourage playing himself, and getting a Jay-Z-assisted single, his Just Blaze-helmed debut album is finally out of Atlantic Records attics and into the hands of consumers. But Sai-giddy is only the latest in a long list of artists whose projects have been shelved for months or years before hitting stores. And with delays currently hindering releases by Young Jeezy, The Game and Nas, he won’t be the last. Look below for how the likes of Cam’ron, Big Boi, Royce Da 5’9” and others fared with album delays.
You should add Crunk Rock on here. Although I’m not a Lil’ Jon fan, and the album sucked, it did take forever to drop and at one point, was anticipated.
Yeah I was hella looking forward to that Crunk Rock, it took so long that his original crunk sound became irrelevant and producers like Drumma Boy, Shawty Redd, Lex Luger, and others were making a different southern sound that Lil Jon didn’t really fit into. Not to mention he was getting into the more dance/techno type music that is hot in miami but not too many other places. Very disappointing
should of included Black Rob Life Story in that list that shit took forever to come out but when it did it didn’t disappoint
True that.That was the last DOPE album to come out of Badboy records.
Joe Budden’s “Padded Room” shoulda been up there.
And soon, Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers.
we all know l.a.s.e.r.s is gonna be #1 album on this list cant wait till march 8th
