J.Cole Finally Goes Platinum With "2014 Forest Hills Drive" Album

J.Cole's third album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, which was released in December of 2014 has finally gone platinum. A big congrats to Cole for selling over a million copies of this album. I mean, the album didn't have any guest appearances, no big time producers on it, and it still sold over a million copies. I think this is a bigger success than any other rapper that has gone plat in the last few years (which is very few).

Dr. Dre Finally Ready to Release New Album; But It Is Not Detox

Yea, I first heard about Dr. Dre's Detox album on Game's The Documentary album 10 years ago, and like everyone in Hip Hop, I waited and waited for it, but it was never released. The good doctor was inspired by the NWA movie that is on the way, and decided to record another album (or probably just change the title of the album he has had in the vaults for years), which is to be titled Compton. The album would first be heard on Apple Music tomorrow, August 6th. People would be able to stream it for three hours, between 6pm & 9pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), exclusively on Apple Music.

Song Lyrics: King James (M.I)

Below is the lyrics of M.I's return song; King James. He is definitely the King James of rap music in Nigeria. 

Verse 1 
Four years I’ve been away, still nothing this hot popping today.
Been holding out cos I’m done with the album should do a Beyoncé and drop it today
Still be a trending topic today,
Still flowing a provocative way
Still gonna blow this market away
And I brought Ice in like I’m baking a cake
Iʼm killing vampires, niggas I'm raising the stakes
My paper situation blew like I was raised in the states
My album got niggas heroic cos they saving the dates
and all you rappers Iʼm back… 
Youʼre dead!

Hook:
One thing I beg you, Jah bless me haters!
Keep them alive so they can see when I am greater!
Provide for them food so I can feast upon them later!
Haters are minority, We are balling major !

Verse 2 
Call me King James, the LeBron of verses
Me versus you is worthless
I am he whom all you rappers worship
I do this right, nigga I’m straight Y’all niggas are cursive
you were rapping when I broke out- your flow got me allergic
that MI flow is clean your whole style needs detergent,
and its urgent my returning, streets is feigning, streets is yearning
its is a warning, climate is changing nigga Iʼm global warming
I beez that nigga, honey, you hear that buzz you see me swarming, nigga?

Hook

Verse 3
Yo! See me just gathering stamina
We been to Canada 
we been to Ghana
Been balling in SA like bafana bafana
rocking that dolce and gabana,
Been taking shots like a camera,
no be rapping can kill me Iʼm samurai
Killing myself if i want, but i don’t want to I keep rapping on and on
Hip-hop phenomenon,We balling Italian style like Inter Milan
Feel something coming on, third album coming MI is coming home
Get out my throne, get out my throne… wait. No one is sitting there
I understand: Nobody rapping can sit on my chair… Yea!

They can’t believe it
They can’t believe he’s still alive

Never be...Never be...Never be...

Never be another me, like there’ll never be another you

Leaving y’all a memory, is all a niggaa really tryna do

You don’t like me; I don’t care what you think
Taking shots at the king,just don’t spill nothing on my mink.

Best rapper alive
The best rapper alive…(6x)

M.I About to Drop New Album?

Even though he hasn't dropped new music in so long, I still consider M.I top 5 best rappers in Nigeria. I don't think any other rapper has been able to do what M.I did with his first two albums. I know Phyno, and Olamide, and Ice Prince are doing their thing, but they still haven't reached that monumental state that M.I reached with his last album, M.I.2 (2010) . I say this from the perspective of a hip hop enthusiast, a former Alaba boy, a rap music blogger, and a realist. So, reading that M.I is about to drop his third album got me excited.

Below is what Mr. Incredible posted on his Instagram two days ago.

“All those who have steady stood by a nigga since day 1.. Wait is almost over.. We bout to be winning!!! Not like we ever stopped though”

Let's wait and see how long we have to wait. lol! In case you have forgotten how good M.I could be on the mic, let me refresh your memory with one of my favorite songs from him; Anoti- this is from his 2008 debut album, Talk About It.

Birdman Gives Updates on Nicki Minaj's Third Album

Cash Money boss, Birdman/Baby gave updates on Nicki Minaj's upcoming third album during his recent interview with Billboard. He said although Nicki Minaj hasn't picked a release date for the album yet, he guarantees that it is dropping before the end of the year. He also added that Lil Wayne's Carter 5 would probably drop before Nicki's album.

"For the new album, she's doing what she feels like doing and we're supporting her. You hear a lot of growth in her music. She's coming confident and hard. We expect for this to be one of the biggest from her. It's more rap. This album is going to have a little bit of everything but more rap. I am sure some of the team will be on it. She's still doing her thing, then getting features on it. She's definitely coming this year. She hasn't picked a date yet. What she did for Young Money is totally different then what she's doing for her album. She's more girly-er. 'Tha Carter V' will definitely come before Nicki's." (Billboard)

Official First Week Sales Of Wale's 'The Gifted' Album

MMG rapper, Wale has done a full week in stores with his third album, The Gifted, and it got him his first number one album. The album sold 158,000 copies first week. That's 10k less than his Ambition album sold in 2011, but it is still impressive for this climate in hip hop when some veterans are scared to drop albums. It means his fanbase has stuck with him. It's just generally good to see Rick Ross's army of rappers doing good.

Wale Updates Fans On 3rd Album

Wale, who's roots go back to Nigeria (West Africa), is currently one of the new breed of rappers dominating the hip hop scene. His last album, Ambition was released last year, and it did moderately well- selling 164,000 copies first week, and going on to sell over 300k in the U.S alone. He is currently signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group along side Meek Mill, Omarion and Stailley.



In a recent interview, he let fans know that his yet to be titled third album is due out first quarter of 2013, and that it would have the feel of his debut album- Attention Deficit (2009). I prefer Attention Deficit to Ambition, so I guess I am going to like this one. Till this day, I can listen to Attention Deficit from start to finish without skipping a track... I can't say the same for Ambition.





Below is what he had to say about his upcoming album-

"Right now, we touring and I got an album dropping in February, Meek's album drops later this month, October 30th. I'm very excited about the music, beacuse it's very reminiscent of my earlier work with Mark Ronson and things of that nature. I'm excited. And 'The Arrival' is a mission statement of where I'm at."
