Predictions & Hopes For 2012

Happy new year everybody! I know we’ve been reflecting on the year that was 2011 but let’s take some time out to look ahead into 2012. Here’s my predictions and hopes for the next 12 months. Plus check out my previous list to see if any of my thoughts came true in ’11 (If you commented on my last list you can see if yours were correct too).

All the best for 2012 ya’ll!

Predications:

  • More rappers will diss Drake
  • Nas, Slaughterhouse, Rick Ross, & Raekwon will drop solid albums
  • Rick Ross will get fatter and richer. Mainly richer.
  • Wayne will put out Rebirth 2 to the horror of music fans around the world
  • Fat Joe will bring out a fitness DVD
  • Dark Knight Rises will be fuckin’ epic and rappers will start referencing Batman again
  • Since getting dissed by Tyler, B.o.B. will come harder on the mic with his next album
  • Someone from Young Money/Cash Money will get dropped and start dissing Wayne and Birdman
  • Kreayshawn will be forgotten about before the end of the year
  • Gucci Mane and DMX go back to jail
  • Nas and Tyler, the Creator will put out several tracks together

Hopes:

  • T.I. puts out an album more like Paper Trail and less like No Mercy
  • T.I. stays out of jail for good this time around
  • If T.I. goes back to jail he doesn’t make up lame excuses about why he’s in there
  • A Rihanna sex tape surfaces
  • Pornstars stop making music. Here’s looking at you Brian Pumper.
  • Slaughterhouse will sell a few hundred thousand units.
  • Ludacris gets back to his roots
  • We don’t lose any more music icons this year
  • People appreciate musical acts before they pass on. (Go on, listen to some Bill Withers. Life is short.)
  • CD’s don’t get fazed out
  • Xzibit makes a comeback. (Get Dre on the phone)
  • A decent rap battle breaks out (rap battle on the mic not on the street)
  • Verbose comes back to the ‘Fro
  • The trend of sequel albums dies out

Again, feel free to add your own hopes and predictions.

  1. Drake gets knocked the fuck out
    Tyler the Creator gets knocked the fuck out
    Jay-Z releases a critically acclaimed album
    Big Sean gets better
    Drake releases a double album (one singing and one rapping)
    GOOD Music compilation album is released
    Meek Mill drops his debut album to critical and commercial acclaim
    ASAP Rocky surprises everyone with his debut
    French Montana releases an album (Yes, on BAD BOY records)
    MGK sells a lot of records
    someone disses Wiz Khalifa
    a real hip hop beef happens
    Nicki Minaj releases an album even worse than Pink Friday but sells more than Pink Friday

  2. I hope Nas will go Gold this year whenever he release the album.

    I hope Nas will have one of the best hip hop albums of all time.
    I hope 2Pac new album release in it’s original form one day
    I cosign the Verbose line! Verbose was my homie we need him back
    I hope T.I. put out an album more like Trap Muzik or Urban Legend/hell possibly like King.
    I hope diss records be better this year instead of sounding forced/fake
    I hope Freddie Gibbs drop a classic solo album
    I definitely think Rick Ross is going to be a bigger star this year to be honest with you.
    I hope Lil B, Soulja Boy and who ever else in their click go away and go to school to get education.
    That would be nice

  3. Nice additions to the list. Yeah Easy I’d like to hear some more material from Electronica. and P i agree, it would be nice if half a mil of Nas’ fans would go out and support.

  4. Predictions: K.r.i.t bringing the south back. Odd future making a more consistant album. Less Rihanna. Slaughterhouse Vs MMG. More Cocaine 80s. Rozay goes plat. 50 Cent fades away. P-Body gonna have Drake in his top 5 by the end of 2012, above Pac lmao

    Hopes: Drake starts his own label, which flops. OVOXO flops. Nicki Minaj sex tape drops. J.Cole gets dropped by Jay-Z BUT comes back stronger than ever. DMX signs to either MMG or YMCMB, Missy & Timbo make a killa album together, Grime music takes over….alright I’ll stop

  5. My only hopes for this year is V-Nasty & MTV Riff Raff get killed in violent, gory, unstomachable murders/accident………….. nah murders

    1. Damn…. I don’t like them myself but I don’t wish no death of them folks though. I just want them along with Soulja Toy and Lil B to stop making music forever.

      1. Yea it was a heavy overstatement, but I won’t lie I’d love to see a video of one of them fake ass crackers get lit by a bottle in the club or sumn
