Daily Grind: 7 Rappers Who Need Their Own Music Days
The Artist: 2Pac
The Day: 2 Times 2Pac Tuesdays
Even after eight posthumous releases (and a gang of unofficial mixtapes!), 2Pac's got still new songs locked away in a vault somewhere. Why not release them to the world? If two new ones come out every Tuesday, we should be able to hear them all by—*crunches numbers* *carries the 2* *finds another hard drive full of new stuff*—2018 or so. Hmmm, how about Makaveli Mondays, too?
The Artist: Waka Flocka Flame
The Day: FLOCKA! Fridays
Nothing says, It's the end of the week!, like hearing, FLOCKA! FLOCKA! FLOCKA!, a couple dozen times. Your boss wants you to stay late? FLOCKA! Your girl needs you home by 8? FLOCKA! You just remembered you have a big presentation on Monday morning? FLOCKA! Waka's new album, Flockaveli, just came out, so he can't promote that but does that really change things? He's gonna leak 100 new songs between now and the end of the year anyway—why not release them all on FLOCKA! Friday?
The Artist: Gucci Mane
The Day: Wasted Wednesdays
Wednesday is the day you feel like celebrating simply because the week's half over. Forget that you've gotta be up at 6AM the next day and let Gucci get you ready to go to happy hour. Like Waka Flocka, Gooch just put out an album and doesn't really have an album to build towards, but you know he's gonna have a mixtape (or five) come out before the end of the year. Party, party, party....!
The Artist: Wiz Khalifa
The Day: Sticky-Icky Sundays
Sunday is a sloooow day for the music business. So, why not kick back with a sack and blow off some steam before the work weeks begins with that new Wiz Khalifa joint you just pulled off the 'net at 4:20? This lane is wide open, Wiz. Roll with it!
The Artist: Lupe Fiasco
The Day: Fiasco Fridays
Is this guy ever going to put out another album? If his fans have their way (they're picketing the Atlantic Records next week), then yes. If he keeps throwing shots at Atlantic? No. At any rate, one of the reasons Lupe hasn't put out in album in almost three years now is that his buzz on the Internet is down. Way down. He could change that in a day by installing this promo that'd see him releasing a new song every Friday. Lupe wins. Atlantic wins. And all those kids get to stop picketing and worry about something that really matters. Yay!
Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
The Artist: Soulja Boy
The Day: Tell 'Em Tuesdays
SB has less than a month to get the world excited about his forthcoming third album, The DeAndre Way. Tell 'em why they should buy it!
The Artist: Nicki Minaj
The Day: Minaj a Monday
While "Your Love" is still holding steady on the charts and "Right Through Me" is steadily climbing up them, hasn't it been a second since you've heard a new Nicki song? We're talking Nicki—not just a verse she spit on the end of someone's else song or the remix she got involved with or an old track from her early demos. We're talking new Nicki. With Pink Friday on the way, you better start Minajing with a few of these Mondays, girl. Just sayin'.
Can you think of any other rappers that should consider dropping one new song every week? What day should they do it? Leave us a comment and let us know.
