Rap-Up.com || The-Dream Readies ‘1977’ Album for Commercial Release

This Christmas, The-Dream is filling stockings with his acclaimed album 1977. The platinum hitmaker will release the project to stores next month.

1977 originally debuted as a free download under The-Dream’s given name, Terius Nash, in August 2011. Described as “his deeply introspective and highly-controversial fourth album,” it will now receive a commercial release on December 18 via Def Jam.

The new version will feature 10 previously released cuts plus two new songs including “AK47” and “Tender Tendencies,” with appearances from Pharrell (“Real”) and Big Sean (“Ghetto”).

The-Dream had originally announced plans to release the fourth installment in his Love series, The Love, IV: Diary of a Madman, as the follow-up to 2010’s Love King.

@OV0X075YOLO34BRUH, I think you got it backwards. The WEAKnd think he’s The-Dream.
Anyways, I want a new album, not a re-release of 1977

@Trillafood, Dont compare the Weeknd to the Dream please. Dream has nothing on that dude vocally or musically.

@Factual, The Weaknd sucks. All he do is scream and his music sounds the same. The-Dream may not be the best vocalist but he’s clearly the most talented. The WEAKND could never be as dope at The-Dream and that’s FACT!

@Trillafood, I think he meant because The Weeknd re-released all his mixtapes with a addition of 3 songs, and now The Dream is doing the exact same.

Anyway I like The Weeknd more

@Factual, Have you heard The Weekend live? He’s horrible. Bunch of screeching. And to think his stans have the nerve to compare him to Michael Jackson.

@Nathan, The Dream is much worse than the weeknd. And The Dream and The Weeknd have nothing similar. THeir voices sound nothing alike. Their song writing and subject matter is nothing alike. the production is nothing alike. i don’t see why people make the comparison. Their music have nothing in common.

I am a fan but this is crap. 1977 came out a year ago. Would prefer a new album. Tired of artist trying to make money off old mixtapes.

Bitch PLEASE The Weeknd ain’t got shit on The-Dream. Not saying The Weeknd is not dope but come on. Is the Weeknd CEO A&R at Def Jam? Did The Weeknd make hits like Umbrella, Put A Ring On It, Touch My Body ETC? Check the numbers, But i do think he should just bring out new material, screw all this I ain’t buying a album for 2 new songs.
