05/18/07 - Entertainment Weekly's Most Wanted Summer Hip-Hop Albums

YounG AleX · 05-18-2007, 10:36 AM

T.I., T.I. vs. TIP
T.I., the rap charmer whose Grammy-nominated album King went platinum last year, may have millions of fans, but he's got at least one mortal enemy — namely, the gruff-if-familiar-looking thug who calls himself TIP. The two characters represent warring aspects of the man born Clifford Harris Jr., and his fifth LP includes songs from each perspective. ''I hope I can satisfy both sides of my personality,'' the Atlanta native says. ''They're very evenly matched.'' As well as recording with Eminem, Akon, Justin Timberlake, and others, he's been planning a movie to dramatize the disc's split-identity concept. The projects have kept him absurdly busy, but Harris doesn't mind. ''Once I set out to do something,'' he says, ''it's done. I wouldn't allow myself to take the easy way out.'' Release date: 7/3

50 Cent, Curtis
50 Cent's first two major-label releases were almost as notable for their lack of guests as for the 10 million copies they sold. ''In the past, I isolated myself,'' the rapper admits. This time he packed Curtis (his real name) with cameos from Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Akon, Robin Thicke, and the Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, who provide plenty of pop-friendly hooks — and, in Eminem's case, a stretch of gross-out lyrics that we don't dare describe in print. Release date: 6/26

Common, Finding Forever
Main producer Kanye West's julienned soul samples once again dovetail perfectly with Common's rhymes about love (''Drivin' Me Wild''), hip-hop (''Southside''), and politics (''Misunderstood''). Release date: 7/31

Wow, are you kidding? Common is arguably a Top15, maybe even Top10 artist... his shit is very anticipated, maybe not as much as big mainstream artists, but by hip-hop fans they are looking forward to it. The two tracks I've heard so far are tight...
