What happens when you release an "artistic" album from a great rapper?

God

Creator of the Universe

You sell 40,000 units. That's it.

Sucks because I love it. Great creativity and artistic expression. I guess the kids like the EDM beat instead of real hip-hop.

 

Formant024

Digital Smokerings

God i dont care, these same kids dont listen to mf doom either. Its just another confirmation that yeah, indeed, shit is retarded. That kanye trash gets more credit...
 

Sanova

Guess Who's Back

I thought this album sucked honestly, I was mad let down.

The whole story-album concept has been done and done again, and most of them suck. Prince Paul is the only one that got it off. And honestly after him.... just stop it. Nobody gives a fuck about your movie album concept. Just rap and stop trying to be cooler than you are.

I have to agree with @Cleverwon I thought that the concept was good and I love the album cover! But the only one I liked was Prince Paul's, that shit was really really really dope.

Yea man. A music theme works throughout a movie, but when you have the same theme recurring on an album, it's repetitive and very annoying. The album cover sold me on this shit, I copped the tee to. Huge disappointment.

Looking forward to the ghost x doom album.
