Billboard magazine caught up with one of Atlanta's godfathers of hip-hop, Big Boi and he's giving some insight on his new album.

Here's what he had to say:


"I'm shooting to finish the album by the end of August," Big Boi tells Billboard.com.

The MC worked with his usual Organized Noise production crew as well as long-time collaborator Mr. DJ on "Sir Luscious," the second single from which will be "The World is Too Big" featuring Mary J. Blige.

"This album is Big Boi to the extreme," the rapper says. "It's like a recession special. I'm talking about what's going on in the world, with everything from rising gas prices to the election. It's just my insights on life up to this point." [Source]

Am I the only one bummed out that we won't be hearing any new Outkast music until fourth quarter? I was certain that we would have been blowing Antwan's music out the car speakers no later than July. I hear that he is hitting the gym hard trying to make sure the whole package is as on point as possible.

While I really want a real Outkast album this year I guess I'll settle for one of them to give me some music. It's a damn shame that music has become SOHH bad that real hip-hop fans got to sit around twiddling our thumbs for the greats to give us what we need. But I know Big Boi reads this blog often SOHH Antwan, holla at me if I can come by the studio and get a sneak listen. C'mon man, I need to hear something!!

But as I was pondering my album drop wish list it hit me, what album[s] are you waiting to drop this year? Here's my list.

1.Big Boi

2.Andre 3000

3.T.I.

4.Ludacris



5.Ashanti
[don't front "The Way That I Love You" is hot].

6.Ne-Yo

7.Willy Northpole

8.Big Block [Checkout Block ENT's Video Channel Here]



9. Yung Joc

10. B.o.B.

Talk to y'all lata,

U cant be serious. All these people from the A cause some of these cats I never heard and wheres Game,Lox,Busta

i guess im waiting on ushers' "here i stand" to me nothing has helped "love in this club" more than that bullshit "forever" that chris brown has just dropped it directly shows you how much more mature ursh's music is over chris and his oft' reverbed vocals

If you get the Big Boi record by August you will be lucky. Outkast is notorious for delaying records, but its been worth it each and every time.

One other thing, I see you on here calling rappers by their real name thing you got going on (to somewhat bring them down to a level that you can relate to). I dont know how everyone reacts or overreacts, but I wouldn't pull that with Big Boi in person. He's liable to smack you in the mouth. Take my word for it and save youself another broken business relationship.

Naw im Anticipating Eminem's CD

say Gyant...you talking about how trash music is, but when i tried to email you about these new cats called Dem Southernfolkz, you slept. It's sad that you got to have all these connects and publicist to reach out to ya'll(and other media outlets). Everything we see is the same ol' same. Don't you guys see that this formula doesn't work anymore? There is somebody out there with the most classic music, but won't be heard, because the don't have these big time names to get them through to ya'll(and others media people). If you want good music, you need to search for it. Because about 90% of the material ya'll post is garbage. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that's ya'lls fault, cause you put out what you get. I mean there ain't much to chose from nowadays, but I'm telling you, check out Dem Southernfolkz. Give em' a try, the people really need this.

Nothing from the South should be more highly anticipated than Chamillionaire's Mix Tape Messiah 4

Gheah!!

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NO MORE DOUBLE OR SOLO EFFORT... GIVE ME A REAL, BOTH SPITTIN', ORGANIZED NOISE, DUNGEON FAMILY FEATURED, JOI BACKGROND SINGIN'(RIP PEACHES) GUITAR BLAZIN, ELECTRIC REVIVAL O.U.T.K.A.S.T CD!!!! I REFUSE TO HEAR ANYTHING ELSE!! ok i'm done ranting..lol

Man why the whole list is mostly atl nigz? Get out sometimes.... how bout PLies? Master P... j/k... Holla

Im sick of these outkast solo albums. Lets be honest, as much as I fuck wit Big Boi his solo joints aint hittin. His speakerboxx joint was week like 7 days and the idlewild sdtk sucked because it was mostly big boi solo joints. Big and Dre should be focusing on making another outkast album cuz thats what the fans really want. I dont think anyone really wants a big boi solo and the only way niggas wanna hear a whole CD of 3000 is if he actually spits on it.

"Im going to come down there and personaly look for Pastor Troy & Sean Paul n' Jay Bo,its tooo much Pussyass musIc commin out of Atlanta. Another thing,when i think about Atlanta,I dont think about the south,and when i think about the south i dont think about the A like that because Yall have been the forefront leaders,and D-FAMLY,KAST N' NIM, are the first ones on any albums to say DIRTY SOUTH! "I think it went somthing like ths"
We from the dirty-dirty,
represent it in my tanktop,
finna take it to the tip top,
RIGHT!? : ) YEA,GET OFF ME!!! YEEEEEEE!!!!

damn were weezy at.....were is the game......jezzy got something droppin soon.....the home boi from kc TECHN9NE dude flow is better then 80% of niggahh in the game he just be on some different strange shhitt....

GAME !!!

Im waiting on that dude Miguel on jive album heard his single"Sure Thing"shit is crazy

where Da Backwudz at? There album actually had MR.DJ (organized noize) on it, Dj Toomp on the beat,sleepy brown,Bigg Gipp,Nas,Slim thugg,hell even George clinton. The album was called woodwork and it was actually dope on some real music its just they had U gonna luv me and I don't like the look of it which was cool but I think they picked bad singles cause catz iz still talkin about them in the streets. I heard they was in another group called Labratz but wussup wit Backwudz. HAD to get that off my chest!!

First off I cat believe anyones waiting for Yung Joc. That dude one of the worst rappers and swagger jackers and fakes ever. That new Usher and Outkast CD ill look for if they are gonna really rap and not commercial. Bun B is about to come out! Personally I havent heard a whole album that i can totally listen to in a while. They are all mixtape dudes. And for that guy that said ATL runs the south umm I think Rap-A-Lot and The Geto Boys were the first to have a video and CD out from The South. The Atl is the reason we got put in the category and not seen as real rap to me.

Ciara's Fantasy Ride dropping in late August or early September. I'm waiting on that. T.I. and luda as well.

How old are you people? You're waiting for cd's to drop? You all sound like little school girls and shit.

TI - TI - TI album please.......thats what i wants to hear him an LUDA lyrics are two artists who get better with time so i'm curious to hear that paper trail.

There is no anticipation for anything BUT Andre 3000 at this point. I need that solo LP ASAP.

ja rule is coming with fire.

im waitin on Detox, thats basically it. Looks like ill be waiting all my life :(

You got 10 spots on your list of anticipated albums and there's no mention of Immortal Technique, Common, Heltah Skeltah?

But you are holdin' your breath waiting for the new Yung Joc album? Do you have the release date of Nelly's next album circled on your calendar too?

Suspect. Holla when you turn 20, I'll start paying attention to your opinion again.

The upcoming albums of the summer and of 2008 in no order are:

1) Usher
2)T.I
3)Lil Wayne
4)G-Unit
5)Game
6)Ludacris
7)Jeezy
8)Young Dro
9)50 Cent
10)Plies

Hopefully we will get something classic such
as Dre's "DETOX" ,
Eminem, or Jay Z--he didn't
sign that deal 4 nuthin.


I am anticipating Monica's album, Big Boi and Usher's joint. Also Ciara's joint.
