In the past week, both Jeezy and Nicki Minaj have announced their tentative album release dates. Jeezy's long awaited next chapter in the Thug Motivation saga, Thug Motivation 103, will supposedly hit stores on August 31. Nicki Minaj announced her untitled debut album should be on the shelves on November 23.
Honestly people these are just dates to reassure people that the rappers are actually still planning to release their projects they are not set in stone. Jeezy is, once again, in the midst of regaining the exposure he has acquired on and off throughout his career with his street single "Lost My Mind", a song that has been working the radio for months but will get more listens thanks to the remix featuring a verse from Drake. His next single will be "All White Everything". If this album misses next month's release date, which is a possible, expect it in the fall like the end of September or October.
Nicki Minaj I am less certain about. In order for Minaj's debut to really have an impact and get into the hands of both dedicated and casual fans, she has to release more acclaimed singles. "Your Love" just jumped to the top of the rap charts but these days the most successful debut albums are fueled by at least two popular singles. Unfortunately "Massive Attack" was a little too far out of the box for folks so she to generate another hit and come up with an album title before anyone can really get to excited about a complete album from her. Expect this album to come out either in December or early 2011.
Expect to see both albums pushed back, Nicki Minaj's pushed further back than Jeezy's.
