Today sees the release of a number of R&B/Hip-Hop efforts. The Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul Mary J. Blige drops her long-awaited ‘Growing Pains’ LP today. Also Chingy releases ‘Hate It Or Love It’, his first album since re-grouping with Disturbing The Peace over at Def Jam. Not to be forgotten is Atlantic Records star Lupe Fiasco, who releases ‘The Cool’ – the much-anticipated follow-up to 2006’s critically acclaimed ‘Food & Liquor’. So…Which album(s) will you be buying this week?

Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool is Amazing. I was so suprised, I never really listened to his music, but I must say the cool is by far one of the best purchases Ive made in a long while when it comes to albums this year. The songs focus a lot on problems and issues we are facing in the world today(his lyrics are very powerful). Its very true.
I definately recommed this album to everyone.
can sumone please post the album again? thanks.
Ima have to roll with Mary!
Mary all day every day!
They’re all great albums, I’m loving Growing Pains, Chingy is great, and I surprising like Lupe’s as i’ve never really listened to much of him before
