Back With More Dream Albums...

Since my last series of photoshopped dream albms got such a positive response, I went back to the lab and made some more. Without further ado:

Crooked I- The Boss

Photobucket

Crooked I is the nicest lyricist on the West Coast, maybe ever (Ras Kass was probably better). Anyway, he signed with Death Row but never put out an official album there. He continues to drop mixtapes and those weekly freestyles but still no album. Hopefully one is in the near future. You know what this is based off of but here it is anyway:


The Fab Five- Fab Five Forever


Photobucket

This isn't technically a dream album since it was a shelved project years ago and could still happen. For those who don't know or can't tell by the pictures, the Fab Five was Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. as one group. Here is Wu-Tang Forever for comparison:



Fabolous & Just Blaze- Optimus Rhyme



Photobucket

Fabolous deserves some hate for the R&B duets and Young Jeezy collabs and whatnot but he has undeniable talent. Based off of 2004's "Breath" produced by Just, the two are more than capable of making a classic street album together. The original album is Lord Finesse's Funky Technician:

Auditions For The Biggie Biopic

For those who don't know, the part of Biggie was given to another fat rapper from Brooklyn called Gravy. I guess Anthony Anderson was busy. Anyhow, here are some clowns auditioning for the part:

Photoshop Dream Albums

At first I was just gonna make a post about the rumored Nas and Jay-Z project, The Kings of Hip Hop, which would be monumental. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a part of that album? Anyway, I thought it would be cool if they went with that "nod to the old school" album cover theme like these:











So I made this:

For Comparison:





Phenomenal Right? Anyway, after making this, I thought about utilizing my incredible photoshop skills to make other dream albums of mine. Here are the rest:





50 Cent & Kanye West: He's The Dbag, I'm The Rapper



Photobucket





You backpackers may whine about this one but this album would have some serious shit plus it would sell at least one billion copies. Again for comparison:

Cormega, AZ, & DJ Premier are De La Street- The Rotten Apple



Photobucket


I don't think they've done a track all together before but in 2006 there was Cormega's "Dirty Game" and AZ's "The Format", two ridiculous tracks both produced by Premo. Plus their collab on the Statik Selektah album was great too. I'm sure they could come up with something better than De La Street but I tried to fuck up as little text as possible there. Based off De La Souls last release (not old school but a legendary crew anyway):





Bishop Lamont & Dr. Dre: California Minded




Photobucket


Unlike that last one, this one has a legit shot happening just as soon as Dre gets in the studio and gets to work. Never. Here's a snippet of a track called "I Dominate" which sounds like a monster. And of course, Criminal Minded:
