TC
TC is to The Smoking Section like trees are to branches and cliffs are to avalanches. He lives for the funk as well as ensuring Hip-Hop culture always has a definitive voice. Or something like that. Sounded good though, right? He's on Twitter if you're oh-so inclined @The_TSS_TC.

He should be mad at his marketing department all the same. I’m positive that “G” in the album’s title was really supposed to be a “C.”
=====================
Damn damn damn!!!!!
#Luda.I’m really pissed that I can’t sell this Luda album back to itunes. The idea was Gold but the execution fuckin’ Sucked. I totally agree TSS
#Nicki 1st effort. I agree with ya but she still has potential
#Wu-Massacre Knew it was doomed from the start
#T.I. and Luda are The Souths Jada and Fat Joe-Great for Features
#
all of these, spot on.
too many quotable mentions … lmao ..good work nigga
lol @ Juve for copying one of the worst album covers ever.
Luda: once Shawnna and her magical hind parts bounced to Tpizzle’s land that album was doomed. Luda’s album was BAD!!! Dat shit BRICKED!!!
Nicki: The main problem with the album was she was trying to re-invent herself on her DEBUT album. How you are going to re-invent yourself before the audience knows who you are?
Wu-Massacre: The problem with this album can be summed up in 1 sentence: Not enough U-God!!……April Fools!!! lol
Def Jam rushed the project out hoping to capture the excitement of 3 of the fans favorites joining forces. If they had let them take their time to craft the project it could have been incredible. Hopefully they will revisit this on their own terms.
TI: Rushed and he suffered from slight Shyneitis
Not a Gucci Fan didn’t even listen to the album
Redman: He gave Def Jam a brick; more than likely to complete his contractual obligations to Def Jam.
Not a Fan of Bones Thugs, shit didn’t even know they dropped an album.
Ice Cube: He sounded like a bitter hip hop ‘old head’. He better not let Jay Rock see him. lol
Little Brother: It was a shame their last joint together(for now) was a cobbled together bunch of re-mixes. Atleast they are still making quality seperately.
Nelly: It looks like part of the deal to have a percentage of the Bobcats was to have Micheal Jordan Executive Produce the album. LOL!!
Juve: He better apologize to Baby. lol
Skillz: He made a Hip-Hop adult contempary lp. Which wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t so dull. You can rhyme about adult topics and be entertaining. He has to figure that out. Let’s skip the fact that there isn’t a radio station on the planet programmimg Hip Hop Adult contempary music. LOL!!!!
8ball & MJG: They still havent recovered from their bout with Bad Boyitis
pLIES: Jamie Foxx and 40 Glocc destroyed this album and maybe his career; luckily for pLIES he has a masters in Literature and Bullshittin lol
Stat Quo: If the good Doctor is ever kidnapped and tortured; Stat is suspect 0. lol
Trina: Her best career move was wrapping her lips around Kenyon Martin’s mic. Leave the mic alone, it’s not your friend. Now bend ova and touch ya toes!!!
Cassidy: without swizz’s guidance is just another Battle Rapper that can rhyme his ass off; but can not construct a complete song. It also doesn’t help that you keep rhyming about all this hustle money and are seen rocking Esco Jeans. Cass since you like sampling the big homey’s lines for records here is one on the house. “We don’t believe you; you need more people”
TC excellent write up
But you had Durrough on the WRONG list. His home is HERE. lol
lol good list
What Its Intention Was: To make a compilation to allow Ludacris to f@#k every single girl in the world.
What It Really Did: Spread audio STDs
———————————————————————–
Dead at audio STDs
Lol at TC & Bigga tag-teaming Nelly. That man don’t have enough problems?
That Skillz CD cover looks like a photo of someone my grandmother would creep with. Not suprised it was a snooze.
Lol at TC & Bigga tag-teaming Nelly. That man don’t have enough problems?
=======================================================================
Problems?? He smashing Ashanti. And when you do a quick comparison of Nelly and My bank accounts. While I may have more zero’s than Nelly; all of MY zero’s are infront of the decimal point. Nelly is going to be alright. lol
The Luda was album was doomed when Shawnna left! I don’t get why people hate on Wu-Massacre yea it could have been a little better but it was still pretty solid I think it actually should have been on the slept on albums list! The BTNH was a huge disappointment especially after quite a few tracks they leaked or where on the mixtape where actually pretty dope! Most definitely wish I could return that BTNH joint now! Cube’s joint actually wasn’t to bad although it could have been a lot better compared to his previous 2 efforts! So true about Nelly & Trina lol! Most of it’s spot on though & a good write up!
I liked the Plies album and the Gucci album… Other than that list is on point… Slim Thugs album and Sheeks albums could have taken those two spots…
any else notice that all the album sucks on all these as well?
i (fortunately) didn’t hear all of these, but the ones i did hear definitely belong on this list. good work Trenton.
Spot on with all these….the PIMP TIGHT shit was HILARIOUS tho lol
Strictly for entertainment value, Goon Affiliated was aight with me. The “Goon” character that Plies has perpetuated on his retail releases has become a caricature of what it was initially, but Plies manages to embrace it & makes an album that is basically a self parody.
With titles like “Good Dick”, you’ve gotta realize that dude is clowning, just making fun music & even though there are sprinkles of the conscience he displayed on his debut, dude isn’t trying to make the same kind of music he did early on.
Plies has released 3 mixtapes this year (You Need People Like Me 1 7 2, No Chaser) where he takes it back to the The Real Testament days & shows that he’s still capable of making music that has political/social undertones. The music on the album is to keep the registers ringing & for what it was, it really wasn’t that awful.
It also doesn’t help that you keep rhyming about all this hustle money and are seen rocking Esco Jeans. Cass since you like sampling the big homey’s lines for records here is one on the house. “We don’t believe you; you need more people”
———————————————————————–
Well damn… lol
Redman & Wu-massacre was spot on, but 90% of these albums i don’t know why anyone would expect anyhting good anyway
lol @ Gz Up…you like their albums, lmao, funniest n*gga on the planet
“Plies – Goon Affiliated
What Its Intention Was: Satisfy all his “bust-it babies” with some niggerachi lovin’.
What It Really Did: Neutralize the Reflection Eternal album.”
literally the funniest, true statement ever
Bone had some good songs on it. I wasn’t disappointed based on the previous 15-20 solo releases
Dead at this WHOLE post. One of TC’s best work of 2010.
How is Minaj’s album a disappointment?? Did you REALLY think it was going to be a solid album?? C’mon now, we all knew two years ago that it would suck. If anything, it was as expected.
^^Ditto Nelly & Trina albums. It’s only a dissapointment if you actually thought it was gonna be good.
all of these artists are the stereotypical gangsta rappers, which i could not be more happy about. sign that dumb, mindless gangsta rap is finally almost dead and the people like j. cole will dominate the rap game
^ Ludacris, Wu, Redman and LB are “stereotypical gangsta rappers”?
LB, Wu, Redman, Bun B, AG, and some others were disappointing to me. Had high expectations for LB, Wu, and Bun B albums. AG dropped solid album with OC last year and his new joint is a dud..
^ Ludacris, Wu, Redman and LB are “stereotypical gangsta rappers”?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Phonte isn’t harmonizing with Nicolay or busting raps with Rapper Pooh; he makes the block hot with dat White. lol
good list. I wouldn’t completely agree with the Ball & G spot on here, but I get it. For the older rappers still trying to make it (love you, but the run’s over) ~ “All you old rappers trying to advance, it’s all over now, take it like a man.” Tupac
LOL @ Gangsta azz Little Brother…
…and as much as it saddens me to admit, yes, the Wu, Redman, & LB joints stiggedy stank up the joint.
lol i shoulda said “most of these artists” my bad
Damn, I didn’t even know that half of these albums dropped. lol
Coincidence that they’re on this list?
Wow… never thought I’d see Little Brother on this list, but they deserve it. It’s like Jordan in a Wizards jersey *SMH*
… hold up…. Stat Quo released an album?! hahaha. Boo. No. Push. At. All.
Next time we hear Nelly on the radio, it needs to be as a co-host to a talk show.
======================================================
DEAD
Agree with this list. I knew TI’s album was dead soon as I heard that garbage with Ye and Cudi.
leaving The Roots off the list shows obvious bias.
NO Nas & Damian Marley either?? How wack was that shit?
Ten Toes Down was the shit I don’t know what yall talking about…yall might need to listen to that one again.
Everything else is pretty much on point….
T.I. shit is KILLING me.
I know I am a Juve stan, but I think its legitimate to argue that he had no idea Drake was dropping an album. I’m pretty sure he thinks the world is flat and ends at the Superdome
T.I. and Little Brother on a not so good list, all this time I was thinking TSS would never put any shame to those names.
This shit is too funny
“I know I am a Juve stan, but I think its legitimate to argue that he had no idea Drake was dropping an album. I’m pretty sure he thinks the world is flat and ends at the Superdome”
Gotta agree. It’s certainly not out of the question that someone brought Juve the artwork and he just said whatever.
Juve should’ve used the old school Cash Money album artwork and prevented this whole mess.
This list is on point.
LB is the one that hurts the most…
LMAo C.A.S.H is ASS
damn I really liked Wu Massacre, dope ass beats. Verses couldv been slightly better but they were dope, this still gets a lot of spin. Left Back was disappointing but definitely had some bangers on there.
“The one that calls himself Gucci still refuses to buy ChapStick® or take music seriously.”
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wu was nice but way too short!
Some folks need to get their egos in check and accept what TC has said because it’s true.
By the way folks.. if you have to explain the virtues.. that means its not obvious and therefore earns its right to be a disappointment.
From this list Ice Cube takes the top spot for me – the album just never got going.
