AWW!

It's like just about every major release this year has been pushed back in some form. I'm kind of expecting it now.

Yeah. It's expected. Hell, the September 28th date might get pushed back again

I wouldn't be surprised.

And according to amazon.com, this and Ice Cube's "I Am The West" share the same release date.

Which do you think will be the better album?

Man surprisingly this is a slight tough one to me.

It is. T.I. stays pretty consistently dope and Ice Cube has been kinda flip flopping. But Cube is my GOAT so I'll have to ride his nuts, but wouldn't be surprised if T.I. blew I Am The West away one bit.

I hear you on this one. You think Cube's album is going to bring a spark to the West?

I'll buy both T.I. and Cube's albums. I don't understand the hate for Raw Footage though. I thought it was a hella dope album and lyrically he spit some really thought provoking shit.

But anyway, whichever album is doper will depend on the production. Lyrically, I think Cube (even past his prime) is better than T.I. but Tip makes up for that with dope subject matter and good production. Like Linker said, he's been very consistent with his discog so I'm sure it'll be great.

It's disappointing that he pushed it back but that's been the trend in hip hop the last several years.

Great points here KJ. I'll be buying both as well, and the production will matter. Raw Footage was a very good album, which I rate at 4 stars. Consistency with T.I. and his discog, I agree with that also.

Take a look at this update.

Takers is going to fucking suck. I already know the plot "twist" from the trailer.

My man Stringer Bell (Idris Elba) needs to step his game up and stop hanging out with amateurs like the entire cast of Takers

I don't think he's done anything remotely close to the quality of The Wire since then. The actors were great on The Wire, but none of them have really been great with their other work. The dude who played Carcetti did a movie with John Cena.

Good point, but i don't think it is because a lack of talent, just an inability to get a job really.

I think Beatty was in Gone Baby Gone, and McNulty was one of the villains in 300. Those are probably the biggest movies any of those actors have been in since. GBG wasn't bad. Kinda sad though.

Looking at the wiki and it says that Slaine was one of the bigger actors in that film. Whoa.

Yeah, Dominc West was filming 300 and Season 4 at the same time that's why his role is reduced in season 4
