Honestly, I think it can either go one way or the other. If it's an old skool Hip-Hop classic album, (like Willennium) it won't sell with the media/won't produce many singles but will be recieved well with the true fans, and if it's an album that has party-pop type songs with new skool trax, (Big Willie Style) the opposite will happen.
I think it's safe 2 say most of us would go with the classic Hip-Hop album with great trax...but then it would the run the risk of not doing so well with singles/album success...i just hope we get a little bit of both.
