Hip-Hop Rumors: Quickies Edition With T.I., DJ Premier, Rihanna, DMX, Timbaland & More!
T.I. Says New Album “Trouble Man” Is Almost Done! In a recent interview with MTV, Tip revealed the following about his upcoming eighth album: “We plan on getting back in and coming up with a few more, so you never know what could become of that. We got one with Akon, did a few records with Rico Love. Man, I got records with just about everybody. We just putting it together, we done did about 70 records. So now we’re in the narrowing-down process. So we’ll narrow them down, we’ll do probably about 15 more. We got a lot of hot, old-school, vintage T.I. records on there. I’m talking like gutter, gangsta, intellectual ignorance, hard-core stadium sh–, but at the same time we got those over-the-top crossover records as well, big features and whatnot that we plan on putting into play.” Until then, we have F*ck Da City Up! Premo’s Top 5 LP’s of 2011: Reks – R.E.K.S., M.O.P. and Snowgoons – Sparta, Evidence – Cats & Dogs, 9th Wonder – The Wonder Years, and Premo’s #1 LP of 2011 is….. Certainly an interesting choice, and for those that disagree, DJ Premier has some words for you: “For all of you dumbfucks that are late or not hip to my yearly list, this is my own list of what I was bumpin’ for my enjoyment in 2011… Even though there were so f#####’ many LPs that came out, I wish we had time to do Top 40 but f### that… So if you don’t like my list, make your own… I ain’t mad atcha… Hate it or love it, I don’t give a fuuuuuck !!!“ Check out the full list of his 25 Top LP’s of 2011 here.
