Wackest Anticipated Debut Albums?

[Goldie]

Budden's first album was actually good imo

 

[Goldie]

Juelz' first album

 

[GOAT]

Tical was considered a let down.

This my answer for the now

Maybe Bun B

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Yayo had some nice songs but overall the album wasn't good. Everyone knew he was the weakest out the crew so I don't know how much it was anticipated

Nah I remember people saying he was the second coming of nas and pac in one.

They said wait till his album drops over dre beats.

I for one anticipated the album along with many others

Most rappers who got big off of mixtapes/free albums fall into this category

[GOAT]

The people was not happy with Live From The Underground

Wiz
Cole
Drake
Krit
Chance
Wale

I don't know if you could even consider counting any of TDE because they were selling those mixtapes independently. I think Kendrick was the only one outta the group that stuck the landing with his debut, if I remember correctly people were mixed on Q's and Soul's debuts.

 

[FIRE BOBBY SLOWIK]

Thank Me Later

Damn forgot about this

 

[5th Letter]

Block Is Hot - a weak effort at the time, he was still trying to find his sound tho. Wasn't til 4 years later that it began to "click" for him.

I was gonna name this but I didn’t want to be accused of trolling. Glad a fellow Wayne fan said it though.

 

[Matike85]

Cassidy -Split Personality album

 

[Goldie]

Papoose?

 

[RozayTabernacle]

Papoose?

was that anticipated after 2008/2009? I don't think his family was even anticipating it after that time

 

[Chi-Town B]

Ja Rule, that first album was trash. That nigga had the biggest rub on that Rush Hour soundtrack with Jay Z then put that bullshit album out

 

[Goldie]

VVV was far from trash fam

 

[Chi-Town B]

Nah man that album sucked, I bought that shit and was disappointed. Listened to it one time and never again. The first and last time Ja Rule took my money

 

[BDBOULIBALY]

Quavo solo

 

[Bed$tuy🇭🇹]

Ja Rule, that first album was trash. That nigga had the biggest rub on that Rush Hour soundtrack with Jay Z then put that bullshit album out

Venni Vetti Vecci?

 

[GOAT]

I never fucked with Ja Rule or GUnit or Dipset

So all yall in here listing Tony Yayo, Ja Rule, & Juelz Santana as "highly anticipated" is strange to me. I get it. I just dont see it.

 

[Worldwide]

Shyne's debut album.

When I heard 'Bad Boyz', I thought he was going to have next after Biggie died.

It wasn't a total write-off...I liked 'Commission' and 'Bonnie & Shyne' was okay for a commercial radio hit but after hearing some of those early Shyne freestyles and the way they were hyping him up, it didn't live up to expectations.
