Detox Actually Coming Out

Let’s just get this one out of the way real quick. The greatest trick Dr. Dre ever pulled was convincing the world that Detox exists. It has been 13 years since Andre Young last dropped an album. Thirteen! Ninjas were still rocking pagers when 2001 dropped. And there has been at least another decade since we have all been waiting for the mystical Detox LP. Repeat after us. Detox-is-never-coming-out. Okay, okay, there is a sliver of hope (if you even still give a isht). Newcomer Kendrick Lamar seems to have energized the good Doc into putting out some decent records. But still, until we actually see the physical CD, Dre, you need more people.

Beefing Rappers Shooting A Fair One Live On Camera

“It’s on when I see you!” Yeah, yeah, yeah, STFU. Rappers love to talk about how they would service the fade to any and all contenders when it comes to rap beef. Then when they cross paths…nothing (we’re looking at you, Common and Drake). The only things that are exchanged are “sorries” or tough guy stares. Not saying there is anything wrong with letting cooler heads prevail, but for once, we want to see two rappers embroiled in beef shoot the five for all to see. If every rapper had to back up their diss tracks with a bare-knuckle beat down watched by millions of fans, we’re sure beefs in Hip-Hop would all but disappear.

OutKast Dropping Another Album Together

Don’t get us wrong, The SpeakerBoxxx/The Love Below jant was a dope project. But it was sort of like watching those last episodes of Martin that don’t have Gina in them. You still bust a gut laughing, but it just doesn’t feel right. The last true OutKast album (Stankonia) dropped in 2000! Bill Clinton was still in the White House getting buffed off by interns. Will we ever get another album from ATL’s most beloved duo? There’s gotta be more. Right? Right?

Likelihood: 4/10

Goodie Mob Reunion Album Living Up To The Hype

Every since the ATL quartet put aside their differences and announced that a reunion album was in the works, Hip-Hop heads have been on edge with anticipation. Then they performed their sub-par new single, “Fight to Win” on The Voice looking like Captain Power and the Soldiers of Fortune. We applaud Lo for becoming a world renowned Pop star, yet still coming back to bring his playa partners to the forefront. But if the give and take involves the group that brought you “Cell Therapy” turning popcorn, we’d rather just bump our old Soul Food and Still Standing albums and pretend this whole reunion thing never happened.

Likelihood: 3/10

People Giving A Sh#t About 50 Cent Like They Once Did

Remember when 50 Cent was on top of the world? Then after pulling more stunts than putting out hits, cats stopped giving a sh#t. Fif refuses to believe he has fallen off. Well if he hasn’t, he’s dangling on the edge trying to find a grip, for sure. Fans don’t even seem to respond when he does put out quality music now. That The Big 10 mixtape was some of the dopest music Fif has put out since Get Rich, and not a single solitary fcuk was given about it by most of the general public. Now he is threatening to drop an album without the backing of his parent label, Interscope. Will Boo Boo ever return to the realm of relevancy he once resided in?

Likelihood: 3/10

Lil Wayne And (add artists name here) Putting Out A Collaborative Album

Lil Wayne has teased the public with talks of The Throne esque albums with everyone from Juelz Santana (I Can’t Feel My Face) to T-Pain (T-Wayne?) for years now. Soooo, what’s the big hold up? Our guess is that Weezy is too busy making his own ish, busting his azz on the half-pipe [||] and making babies to sit down with another artist and put together a full-length album. But for the Martian, finding time to exchange verses with the right person might not be too far out of this world.

Learning The Actual Truth Behind The Pac and Biggie Murders

The killings of Biggie and Tupac were once deemed as two unsolvable crimes, surrounded by a whirlwind of conspiracy and shady under dealings. They seemed like they would be cold cases forever. But with every book, confession and piece of new evidence that is uncovered, the truth behind the murders of two of Hip-Hop’s most beloved figures seems like it will one day be solved. But when the truth comes out, will that even be the truth? (scratches head)

Likelihood: 5/10

Another Hip-Hop Album Going Diamond (10 million records sold)

Ha! HaHa! HaHaHaHaHaHa!….Forget about it!

Beefing “Major Label” Rappers Battling Live On Camera

Blame Cassidy. Because if the art of major label acts putting their cojones on the line battle rapping wasn’t dead before he bodied Freeway, he pulled the plug. We’re not talking bout these dirt bomb no name rap cats spitting in a pissy elevator for Smack DVD. We’re talking major label artists with isht to lose.  Big name rappers will come out with diss records that took them days (even weeks) to come up with until they are blue in the face. But taking a L while exchanging live rounds, face to face, on camera, would be too much of a shot to a lot of these suckers’ egos (and fan bases). Somebody put a beat on.

Likelihood: 2/10

An Official Nicki Minaj S-x Tape Hitting The Web

Go ahead and admit it. You’ve been waiting to see the headline “Nicki Minaj S-xtape Leaks Online!” ever since the doll brained stallion stepped on the scene. But the “Beez In The Trap” rapper seems to keep her immediate circle tight like virgin nappy, so the likelihood that the Harajuku Barbie will get caught on camera slurping and burping are probably slim to none. There’s always the chance that Safaree goes rogue.

Likelihood: .5/10 but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
