What Is The Last Album You Actual Paid Retail For?
I’m just wondering what was the last album that compelled you to the point that you actually paid the full price for it, instead of downloading it or getting it from your local hustle man. Also what albums coming out this year do you plan to buy from the stores?
The last album I bought was Ne-Yo’s, the, “Do You,” track was fire and I decided to cope. Also his first album was hot so I figured i give it a shot. Before than….. damn it’s been a while. I would of bought Hip Hop is Dead and K-Os album but got them free. So before that was probably Late Registration and God Son.
Looking through the answers it seems a lot of people are saying Kingdom Come. Jay-Z had some crazy marketing and got mad people to come out their pockets. Also I see Hip Hop is Dead and From Nothin To Somethin. So it seems you guys are only buying the albums of established artist than been in the game for a while.

Damn….That’s a shame..I never really even thought about this until you asked the question..The last album I bought retail was The Life and Times of S.Carter Vol. 3…Thats a damn shame..
The Black Album
Hova Hova Hova!
the last album i bought was whats the games been missing from juelz santana not a classic album but definetely for the 12 dollars no special dvd either i guess his marketing pitch caught my eye along wit that mic check single that was classic dipset i was gonna buy kingdom come adding to another 12 i contributed to jay-z fund but i heard the leak of the cd playing in a clothing store in the mall and the worst song he’s made since sunshine was playing u know that joint wit usher and for which album i probly wont buy another cd until lupe comes out maybe the lil wayne but it might leak to hard for me not to steal it now thats realtalk for realtalk hiphop aint dead it went digital
Joints I bought recently -
Today I just copped the new Chrisette Michelle - I Am
Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead
Jay-Z - Kingdom Come
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Consequence - Don’t Quite Your Day Job
Definitely will buy the new Common, Kanye, and Lupe.
i pay full price for all the albums i get but i dont buy that many, last album i bought was B’day Rerelease (crazy hott) and last album i got was NeYo ( as a gift)
I BOUGHT FAT JOE AND THE GAME’S..
I coped that kahled last, I think its pretty dope! naxt is gonna be T.I. vs T.I.P, curtis, rick ross’,plies’ new shit and since HOV is back in the both I’ll have to buy 4 of his new LP and the rest I’ll have to listn to first.
…anticipating that new Alicia Keys, T.I., and Collie Buddz as well.
looking forward to buy
Common - Finding Forever
Rakim - The Seventh Seal
now that i think about it realtalk could u tell whats the purpose of buying a cd today first it was the music but getting a cd before it drops and to see if its worth the money is to tempting then once youll listen to it a billions times u forget to buy it when cds were coming wit the dvds it was nice but i guess its cost to much to put together a film and audio package for under 20 dollars maybe if record companys get smart and take advantage of the youtube aspect of the game and drop like crazy low budget vides of the making of albums and unreleased videos it would leave you no choice to buy the cds but who wants to see ghostwriters hand your favorite his material and say go make ur swagg i.e gillie da kid that guys career is such a fucking publicity stunt lol
funny thing is, me and my mans was just talking about this earlier. last joint i bought was kingdom come. next buy is kanye and common new joint.
Nas- Hip Hop is Dead…gotta by the LLoyd CD cuz it real good and he needs the support.
The last album I bought was Hov’s. Other then that download for free.
buck the world!!
wating 4 buddens and 50
The first & last album I bought retail in 2007 was Fabolous “From Nuthin’ to Sumthin’” (been waiting for him since ‘06). I am on my way out to pick up Chrisette Michele’s “I AM.” Her voice is out of this world…My next purchase was supposed to be 50’s album next week…but we all know what happened with that. After this, I’ll cop T.I., Trey Songz, Swizz Beats, Kanye, & Usher and I think I am pretty much done for the year, or until 50’s album drops so that is about it. So 8 albums in 2007…That is $79.92…lol. I can handle that.
I am dying @ #42 RIAA…lol. But I feel you. It’s June, and I just bought a CD…The game is twisted.
the last two was buck the world and the inspiration by young jeezy
Kells… DOUBLE UP
“hell hath no fury” clipse
Bonethugs And Harmony .. I been supporting them since 92
The game - Doctors Advocate
Jim Jones - Hustlers POME
Lil Wayne - Carter 2
Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
Bought them all on the same day in December 06.
This year i plan on coping

- Nacerima Dream
- Music to Fly to
- and Juelz Santanas new shit, whenever it drops

Man I don’t buy albums I download singles and whatever I like from ITunes. So I still support the artist. I stop buying entire albums, because the artist puts crappy material on them and it’s not worth it. The last album I bought was the Doctor’s Advocate. If the artist make 16 to 20 singles on one album I’ll start back buying. Until them 16 bucks gets me 16 guarantee hot songs from 4 different artist.
Food and Liquor Lupe Fiasco (so underrated is he!)
The Evolution of Robin Thicke (surprisedly solid)
B’Day Part 2 {Get Me Bodied got me!}
I’m waiting on Usher, Common, Alicia Keys, and Lupe’s next joints to come out!
T.I. KING, The Best album by far of 2006.
I bought R. Kelly’s DOUBLE UP, shit I had that on my calender WAITING for that to come out for like a month! I was super excited. Tomorrow is T.I. vs. T.I.P! Support T.I., buy the album don’t pirate it, come ooon.
Some songs you can tell are going to be one hit wonders. Unless an artist comes out with 2 or more singles that I like, or they have had kick ass albums in the past, I don’t buy it.
Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
My girl got me Lupe Fiasco - The Cool, does that count
