I wish I had preordered REBIRTH thru Amazon
 

Just saying. I'm gonna be pissed if the album gets scrapped or a completely new tracklisting or something. It's this kind of leak bullshit that kept "Feel Like Dying" off of THA CARTER III.

To be fair, there's a high chance it will be terrible anyway.

yes and no. I have this thing about how terrible concept albums are awesome in their own way. I mean, it's at least interesting to me already. It's like career suicide. Except he's too big to actually kill his career. It's a really weird, bad and fascinating move.

But have you heard the tracks he's dropped?

of course I have.

alright, I'll explain it like this... if he made a bad album of tracks where he was rapping over usual rap beats, then that would be a bad album to me.

But if he makes a bad album where he's trying to play guitar and write emo lyrics, then that's at least really weird and interesting to me.

It's like, KISS making their disco album. That's way more interesting than just a bad KISS album.

Fair enough. This kind of has the potential to be the Tin Machine of rap I guess.

or Metal Machine Music.
or Whitey Album.
or Glitter.

Well, it's kind of the opposite of MM, seeing as it's a crazy move towards a popular trend, as opposed to completely away from it.

yeah, when I first typed it, I typed Metal Machine Music (in reverse), but I knew you'd get what I was saying. :)

I find it interesting that he plays most of the instruments on the album. It's a new sound for what its worth

Kiss making a disco album would definitely be more interesting than a good Kiss album. Did this actually happen?

I believe he's referring to Dynasty? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNGNLo8K6Fk
