Since when do major label rap albums come out on time? <I>Before I Self Destruct</I> was originally planned to come out before <I>Curtis</I>, then it was planned to come out in February on the 5th anniversary of <I>GRODT</I>, and now it's being pushed back for a G-Unit album, so I'll be very surprised if you see it anytime in 2008. And Big Boi is constantly promising Outkast and Outkast-related projects in interviews that either never materialize or only finally do 3 years later. By the time these guys are free agents, the landscape will probably have shifted again, and instead of LiveNation or Koch we'll be talking about some other alternative entirely.</P> Billboard’s whole premise is based on the shaky assumption that these artists’ next albums will come out when scheduled and resolve their contracts very soon.
