Props Mocha! I'm stunned he had such an interest. "Dre couldn't contain his excitement, according to Skee" Set it off was like Top 3 on Not 4 Sale for me.

Dre goes from epic to alright in his verse, makes you wonder about Detox

Bishop Lamont Says " Detox Is No Where Near Finished"

Well yesterday I posted a video of some dude named DJ Quik talking about how he heard Detox and it already has over 400 songs for it, in short hyping the album. Well today in an interview when asked about the Detox album Bishop Lamont said "Will it happen this year? I don’t think so." He also talks some real stuff like how with every year that passes the higher expectations will get its kind of self defeating, he also talks features on Dre's album, read some of the interview below.

Q: Alright, so let’s talk Detox. Rumor has it you’re supposed to be the Snoop on the project or so your Wikipedia would have me believe. Then again, it also says you’re supposed to be the new Hittman, which might not be the ideal scenario for you.

A: That’s wikipedia for you. Bless y’all for giving me a Wikipedia page, I’ve never talked to the guys who made it, but God bless them. Hell, I didn’t even know I had a Wikipedia page. As for Detox, it’s been a long arduous task. It’s the unicorn of albums, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, at times you feel like you’re in a lake trying to catch the loch ness. I’ve got pictures of his fins, he’s come up from the water a couple times… What can I say really?

We got a lot of records, Dre isn’t satisfied with what he has and the direction. His thing is, where do I fit into the scheme of things. He’s 43 now, going to be 44 and it’s been eight or nine years waiting. It’s like waiting on another Guns N’ Roses album, Snoop is on the record. I’d love to be like Hittman, he was on more records than anyone else on Chronic 2001. My position in it is more on the writing side and getting my features. For me, my story doesn’t come from Detox, it comes from the Reformation. I’m on the basketball team doing what I gotta’ do.

As far as the album goes, its been a serious difficult. The more time passes, the higher expectations get, his gears shift to a higher degree. It’s almost self-defeating. He likes a record one day, he doesn’t the next. He wants to change his vocals, his words, the whole beat. Will it happen this year? I don’t think so.

Q: If it does see the light of day who can we expect to see on it?

A: Of course, the Doc. Focus, Nas…I can’t really say all the features, they want to keep that quiet…Kahlil from self scientific, a kid named Kobe who’s dope. Melman and Hittman came back, Slim the Mobsta, Earl Hayes, Eminem. Dre, Em and 50 recently went to Florida to work on their records and Em and 50 came back with records for their own albums but nothing for Detox. People are still waiting like its going to a 4th Quarter release but it’s nowhere near finished.

Q: Is it difficult to stay focused, having to work simultaneously on Detox and making sure your own album comes out the way you’d like?

A: I don’t think there’s any artist who can relate to my plight, writing a billion records for Dre and me. Imagine the burnout of trying to write the illest stuff you can write and brainstorm on relevant concepts, running back and forth from back studio to front studio, it’s been crazy.

I’ve been working on The Reformation since I was born—literally, I’ve been working on it for three years and it can become a burnout. I always look ahead; I’ve even done records for my second album The Impossible Possible.

http://itshiphop.blogspot.com/2008/10/bishop-lamont-says-detox-is-no-where.html

Detox is the Chinese Democracy of rap. There really ain't no point releasing it anymore cause the album has already been ruined by high expectations

Lupe Fiasco abandons rap and launches post-punk band?

Rapper Lupe Fiasco is rumored to have started a post-punk band called Japanese Cartoon.

Fiasco, who hinted on several occasions in 2008 that he would soon retire, is still working on what he says will be his final album as a rapper, LupE.N.D.

It is now being rumored that after LupE.N.D's release, Fiasco will continue making music with Japanese Cartoons, under the name Percival Fats.

Three songs, including a cover of the Prodigy's forthcoming album title track "Invaders Must Die," have been posted on the band's MySpace site. The Prodigy cover and original track "Heirplanes" feature vocals that sound eerily similar to Lupe Fiasco's, although they are sung in a forced English accent.

However, blogs on the star's MySpace site deny that Fiasco is part of the band.

One, posted on January 4 says: "Percival Fats (born Percival Hindenburg-Fats) is NOT Lupe Fiasco (born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco). Although he is a dear friend."

The blog continues: "Lupe does finance the band but is not, I repeat, not, the singer in Japanese Cartoon. He is, however, the producer and we value his participation very much."

Late, but sounds too me like 2 voices at times, and that's what sounds like Lupe's voice. Like the Prodigy remix but the rest I don't really care for.

Apparently, this was only on the Norwegian version of Theater Of The Mind. Its hot yeah, but its intresting to hear Luda mix the regular shit he rhymes about with video games, there is a Contra reference which is always a plus, but there is a Go, Diego, Go! reference in there, so it makes you wonder what Luda wont rhyme about
