Last week, Complex’s Music section listed the 25 most anticipated albums that are expected to be released this summer, barring any delays. They essentially got it right. The growing popularity of hip-hop is evident with this list since not only is the number one anticipated release is from that genre, but so is the majority of the entire list. One record I believe they missed is I AM NOT A HUMAN BEING 2 by Lil Wayne but this might be because of a lack in any official statements from Cash Money Records. And chances are it’ll be delayed to the fall anyway. I don’t think they’ve released an album on time in a few years. Are there any records they missed? What do y’all think about their rankings?

1. G.O.O.D. Music, TBA
