He posted this today:


Stepping away for a few weeks to start the set-up for the release. no date as of yet but when you get one it will be real. please accept my apology for any previous release dates expressed here on MYSPACE that never came to pass; overzealous excitement on my part.

COLUMBIA is the best record company in the WORLD. so please stay patient and know that i am so utterly hyped on all the things you have sent here in encouragement.

ladies get ya best little number ready for the upcoming dates. fellas i'm just foreplay so after the SHOW take her home and do what you know you 'pose to do. LOVE is LOVE and YOU all are so MUCH. =^P

No offense, but seriously EFF Maxwell.

^ Why? The dude is trying to communicate with the fans this time around.

I admire him for not announcing release dates anymore, the record industry is so fucked up with delays and stuff.

Dance said:

Exactly. This muthafucka was supposed to drop, when, 1973? 79?

MuthaFunka said:

No, the first release date given was for Februry 2007. He said that when his Myspace page was created in 2006.

MuthaFunka said:

No doubt. Time's been flying like nobody's buisness and the that's the truth.

No, you all don't get it.

Eff Maxwell.

I don't care when or what he drops. The kid is garbage.

Yet you have to come in here and tell us that when you're clearly not a fan?
You're garbage dude.

Fixed it for you

MuthaFunka said:

It feels like it's been that long huh?


Whenever and whatever, I'll scoop it up when it comes out, but I want it out there already as opposed to its coming, it's on its way, I'm working on it, etc.

yuck. He had something with embryo.. but his last album was really lame

not looking forward to his future projects.. if they are ever released

Dance said:

Go start a Britney Spears thread or something, you obviously don't like real music.

Maxwell remembers Marvin Gaye:

'preciate it!!1

he should just stop posting...it just reads silly...

sosgemini said:

Whenever the mf comes out, I'll buy it. Hopefully it won't disappoint. Love his voice, not gonna skewer him b/c of a fucking MySpace page

sosgemini said:

Now this, I agree with. There really aren't any explanations needed at this point. It'll drop when it drops.

do it!! do it!!!

Nick715 said:

@ Maxwell being "real music"

O-kay dude.

There's always gotta be some negative attention-whore loser who's gotta put artists down... and this Dance loser has done it in the past. Nothing better to do, and probably has no one to do it with.

Nick715 said:

Most of these fools clearly don't appreciate an artist's usage of the internet to connect/communicate directly to their fans. It's obvious that Maxwell's fans have been wondering what's been going on... must be getting the same questions every day on his page/fan mail. So, the man decides to address his fanbase, and here come these non-fans and/or losers who bitch at his messages. Get a life (Dance, sosgemini) -- please.

Anita Baker, Teena Marie and Taylor Dayne are just a few artists who've taken 10 years between albums. Sade is heading there.

The B-52's just took 16 years!

I don't need a new album every year (Rihanna and Ne-Yo, go the fuck away!) from an artist that I like.

I'm impatient too, but I'm content with the fact that the album is coming along.

I know the crazy Mariah fans were pissed too when her album was bumped from it's original date back in November.

This thread was started for the Maxwell lovers out there, everyone else can kiss my ass.

Nick715 said:

yeah, but those artist don't post sophomoric BS on their websites though...maxwell needs to just go away until the album comes out...i love the dude but his half-tard postings are working my last nerve.

BlaqueKnight said:

Valid point. The listening public get restless.

He's an interesting artist. My life doesn't revolve around the happenings of certain musicians/celebrities, so his seven years of artistic silence doesn't bother me; nor the vague new album release dates.

Yet, it will be cool to hear a new Maxwell lp - the nig*** can sang.

chuckaducci said:

^ Well said man!

sosgemini said:

I can understand that. At least you're not coming in a thread just to say the artist sucks. I know people get annoyed with false release dates and stuff.

At least Maxwell is around sort of. What happened to D'Angelo?
