There’s a slight delay on the release of Broken Headphones (not days just an hour or so). And with that comes a new (appropriately titled) leak as well as a message from QuESt…
“I know I said 9 pm, but me and P.ersonal are in the studio trying to get the final product done And its taking ALOT longer than expected. The reason everything is taking long is because Im actually the one whos mixing/engineering/mastering every track, this whole project actually. So in order to get this done right, I need just…Well…A little more time. So Broken Headphones Will be available for free download 10:30 – 11:00 pm est time. I’m sorry for those who are actually waiting for this project but this has to be perfect. (And for everyone saying Im pulling a Drake “Tell them niggas go to rehab..Kick Rocks” – J.Cole) UPDATE: Broken Headphones is here!
DOWNLOAD: QuESt – A Little More Time
bummer
i’m anxious to hear this. there has a been a lot of buzz around it for some months now. but i’m going to wait for the full length.
this is one sample that will never get old….(art of noise – moments in love) one of the best of all time soooooooooooooo smooth n sick
im going to catch this in the morning,its 2.30 now in London, i look forward to listening to this in the morning inshallah
arrrrrrgh i wanna hear it already! but i can wait a little more i suppose
got damnit. nice to see another quest and xv collab. two of my favorites right now.
That new leak is my favorite one yo. This made me have an entirely new and fresh excitement for the tape to drop.
*tells Nicki Minaj to hold me place in the line to cop the album while I go order a large Pizza with the works.
^word this is basically the only leak i like so far but i imagine the cut wit xv along with a few others should b solid
shits ill but damnit lol he is pullin a drake this shit better drop between those hours or im postin bomb threats lmao jp but hurry up bruh
Get ready to return to 1997 with that One Night Out track yo. If that’s the same joint QuESt let me peep a few months ago…then yeah. Dopeness.
QuESt reppin for the 305 proper
I’m finally proud to be from Miami.
the song is pretty ironic given the situation haha. was that purposely done?
song wasn’t done on purpose. its been for BH for awhile just given the situation it works VERY well haha.
refreshing to see an mc quote another modern mc on the come up like that…i’m sure this will be another great free release of this year
Good to see my peers putting out dope music! The Movement has finally begun, Quest, Young Son what’s poppin?
^ young scolla is next up
Totally off subject but im usually a huge fan of mike waxx artwork on mixtape covers and shit but not feeling this one at all
so fucking HYPED! :)
i know i was thinkin the same about the song i just laughed, so far my favorite song is lavishluxeriously, herd tht yesterday and its so smooth, Quest is a beast on the mic & to Young Son, your music is madd nice 2 homie, keep it comen
Same goes for Young Scolla, good shit
This yung wippasnapper is DOPE! Supporting good music! Quest – Broken HeAD PHonES SIGNING OFF
this cat should’ve been on that FRESHMEN cover.
A yo but on the real the whole young before your name thing needs to die in the new year. No shots.
That and that no homo bs after every sentence.
first time ever really checking dude out ima give the album a listen before i make any kinda judgements but i faux with this song here
co-sign MF TREE. shit, i never even started saying that “no homo” shit… and people tend to forget, that “FAIL” and “EPIC FAIL” shit is GAMER slang that somehow incorporated to all the internet hip-hop heads.
Hey, if people choose not to listen to an artist because they use the prefix “YOUNG” in their name, I guess you might just miss out on some good music then.
My name is deeper than just the cliche usage of it…but it’s no use explaining that because people are already set in their ways anyway. I don’t see how using YOUNG before a rap name is any different than hip hop artists in the past being “MC”.
MC SHAN
MC HAMMER
MC LYTE
Etc.
16 minutes lol
yea i feel you young son. my name is derrik and the guy down the streets name is derek… guess one of us should change it….
MF Tree + Epic Fail= Way Homo Comments
No hate… Back to the artist, Quest ante’s up big time!!!
^^ your homo for just thinking that’s homo.
People catching feelings over other peoples opinions needs to die out soon here to…
And young son don’t get me wrong, I’ve listened to your shit along time ago and its dope and om pretty sure you reppin Minnesota so like I said in my earlier post no shots. I’m just sick of the whole “young” and “lil” shit now a days. Please do elaborate on your names deeper meaning I’m interestedl
DIS NIGGAS A FRAUD MAN LOL BULLSHITTIN
lol quest son u got niggas wait on this it better be that fire
And sorry for the miss prints this blackberry storm is trash but at the same time this is a fuck you, suck my nuts you ungrateful fucks you – (c) nickle 9
11:15 Quest…
i know c’mon lol
The suspense is killing me..
lol man… do u know how many times i’ve watched that Nicki Minaj video on replay while waiting for the homie to drop his broken headphones tape? lmfao hahaha
i keep listenin to the song lol
i will give it till Conan comes on, then i willjust have to catch it in the am
Its all good, its quest so you know its gonna be worth the wait.
he said one more hour, and that he means it this time, 42 minutes ago
where the fuck is it???
damn y do artistwait till their release date to finish mastering and shit. shoulda been finished a week ago casey did the same shit. and look still no customized greatly vol.2 shits pissin me off i neva do dat when i release my tapes i set a day and set to be done at least 3 days before! so it drops when i say it will.. no rant im just tellin the truth
Dawg who ever heard of ur shit. honestly. what do u release that is so fukkin important the whole world has to stop to listen to ur mixtape.
Man this nigga better hurry up!! I got skool 2morrow!
isnt XV supposed to drop today too?
i thought xv was droppin in a week or two.
that curren$y & Wiz khalifa.
nd that inside a change mixtape suppose to drop the 29th. (basically today)
I agree with kdjuggernaut — I can’t be mad at taking extra time to perfect a project, I do that all the time so I wish Quest the best of luck, but think about how long 2DP and others have been hyping this tape for, y’all even dropped a tape ONE MONTH BEFORE as a reminder of this date, LOL.. and it’s still not ready? I don’t mind waiting until Quest is %100 ready (not that I have a choice), I just don’t get why the last minute stuff.
P.S.- the cover art isn’t great, LOL
this date has been set for way longer than i can remember. and now that date is 6 min away from being missed. man talk about waiting to the last min. i guess its a free album so u cant complain that much but damn i just dont get it.
you think he’ll go back and change the mixtape’s name to “only a month a (and a day) left”?
Mann itz midnight… I ain’t tryin 2b a jerk but it is coming anytime soon?
i guess check out in the meantime check out that video of QuESt doing that live acapella..shit was dope : http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/07/28/quest-artofficial-a-capella-x-i-will-live-video/
fuck this, 20 minutes into the next day. I’m a little disappointed. check this tomorrow i guess. i mean damn i agree… why does someone say “hey my mixtape is coming out july 28th” (like 3 months ago) and then work on it up until the due date. shit should have been done about 3 or 4 days ago IMHO.
aday i never said my shit was that important u asshole and in fact i did hav people waitin for my shit i gave out 50 copies plus 100 dwnloads on datpiff but i took the tape off. dnt speak b4 u knw wat ur tlkn bout.
thnks for understanddin wat im sayin derrik and e roc
wheres the joe budden escape route
its past eleven up in here in da chi
idk buddens shit drop today?
naw
wheres the joe budden escape route
got pushed back 2-5 days
All I know is, this shit better be THE shit making us wait.
Niggas need to stop complaining. ITS FREE MUSIC. and NOBODY understands the extent it goes into actually mastering and mixing an album. And especially if QUEST is the one doing it. THAT MEANS he put IT ALL together. he rapped, engineered, mixed and mastered his own shit. Its not like Drake who had everyone do it all for him Quest is getting it in, give him his due damn. smh.
i concur with illecism! i would rather have everything done, set up, and mastered than some booty quality sounding youtube type shit. lol btw Quest if you read this… can you have that in 192 or 256 bitrate please? :)
indeed, patience is a virtue my fellow hip hop heads, let’s just wait and ROCK IT when it comes!!
In the mean time, I’m gonna rock ‘I Miss My Love’ by Fab …shit is very ill.
the anticipation helps lmao..CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!! idc when it drop i know im getting it…people need to calm down.
Im an engineer and that shit takes hella time so the fact that hes actually doing it all himself impresses me. People need to just chill and wait. its free music
ya’ll are right, imma just keep eatin my cookie dough ice cream =D lol
lol at digitek im a persoon wit high patience but im juz sik of push baks all over the board not just quest.. my patience has been worn down fuk the bs im over bein a nice nigga
^ that would all be true and fine if a specific date hadn’t been set and missed. just say “late july” or something. just looks bad when u wait till the last min. you are right though, it is free, so regardless everyone here will appreciate it. its just not a good look.
i agree i know what goes into engineering and damn…i gotta give it up…some of you commentors are bugging out…we”lll probably get it in a sec…til then im chillin and watching a movie cuz its summer…finna pass out listening to BH.
anyone in here have a phone charger i can borrow real quick?
@zach p i agree but at the same time, we have no idea what went into doing this project. Anything can be the cause of a delay. I’m gonna wait up like i did for Drakes Shit
i think one thing ive learned from hip hop is that life isnt perfect and its cool to have things be fucked up in your life…so for some of yall to ask for perfection from QuESt is just going overboard…im sure itll be here in a min…
he says its exporting now people
damn did joes shit really get pushed bak?….. man hip hop has become a big dissapointment! for me lately
I got it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kinding… but i know i cant wait no more lol i need this no homo im not gonna sleep til i got it
Alright, seeing as there is a complete shit storm in here. I’m going to keep it real for all of you. We are converting and pushing it to zshare. Broken Headphones will be to you shortly. If you knew the amount of stress that QuESt has been under so far tonight you wouldn’t be making hasty comments at getting FREE music not on the dot.
Thanks,
Kev
tell em kev…. i love n respect any nigga/artist droppin free shit especially now that im a broke ass dude…. i can wait another week if i needed to, lol… jk
patience is a virtue. its not like its weeks later then it would be crazy but a day and a half late isn’t going to kill you. theres been a ton of mixtapes let alone albums that been push back worse then this and its free on top of that.
camron gangsta grilz
joe budden’s ep
wale back to the feature(took like 3 months after)
man.. i read every comment.. and watched like every video on the front page.. still aint dropped
yo Kev… at the end of the day. goes to show that cats give a fuck about Dude. I thought it was only DRAKE’s shit that people were stressin over. good to know that people are eagerly anticipating quest’s shit. man… i’m doin laundry right now. blah. at least it’s keepin me awake to wait for the album.
damn y zshare kev i hate zshare! shits wack shuld use usershare its way better well to me but i guess its all good we gettin it soon i guess!
“No need for testing patience/my hatred is well awakened.” – QuESt
IM STAYIN UP JUZ HAD A CAN OF MONSTER
ill be up for a while…
All this. Over FREE music. Remember how up in arms the C-boys were over Back to the Feature?
Let’s play a game!!!! favorite QuESt track released before BH…
gotta be his remix of Maybach Music 2
sup hi clas jus went thru yo whole unidetified its ILL!!!
back to the feature was def not worth the wait in my opinion but wateva bjc n im a huge fan of wale but it was 3/5 shoulda been waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better
nah son I Will was the illest!
^ aight I Will was the most lyrical but like the turnaround on Maybach 2 was just god like…quest lyrically molested that shit too
This should be worth the wait. So far all of his tapes have been dope.
^
he did, I just felt I will more. He sounded More hungry
folding laundry *sigh* lmfao
best joint gotta be between I will, Keep It Movin, and Maybach music 2 for me
i wasn’t talking about the wait, just how damn comments were on here as soon as wale said to wait a little while longer. i agree that it could have been better – but it’s still a solid output.
man….im not gonna complain. ima night owl anyways. haha. quest yur the best man!
DAM BEEN WAIT LIKE FOR 4 HOURS LOL CRAZY
Can’t hate on Wale. He put out Rather Be With You (Vagina Is For Lovers) such is one of my fav songs this year and IMO best on the tape. Concept and beat was crazy!!
as far as Quest…yall need to be patient. Life will (hopefully) go on rather this album drops or not but I’m excepting something DOPE from BH
“no sweater not even a windbreaker/butt naked I swallowed a dream with no chaser/used to cover these lines with make up/thinkin’ in the end I would probably get my cake up/so I could convince every mother fucker to wake up and realize the wise in this guy wasn’t made up/see I was insecure like a teen with an ‘A’ cup surrounded by triple c’s like ross with his weight up.” – QuESt, “See What I See” off Broken Headphones
http://yesiamquest.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/artwork-bh-update/#comment-104 update 4 yaw still waiting
well… can’t really complain. it’s 10:19pm here… and it’s past 1am in Florida so the way i look at it… if we’re still awake, then HE’S DEFINITELY STILL AWAKE! hahaha =P
on of my fav is “Hope”..off of Mind On Blast Vol.1
another update via twitter http://twitter.com/YesIamQuESt/status/2904625984
quick question: do yaw think quest will get Drake buzz & blow like drake did? yes or no & why?
& i only use drake cuz he is the prototype for internet-to-mainstream buzz
@bfears – depends on how dope Broken Headphones is man …i mean, if its as dope as we all think, he’ll get a Roc Nation nod or some shit maybe …so who knows
bfears…if drake didnt blow up thatd be the saddest thing
1. he had a huge fan base from degrassi
2. he had been touring with lil wayne for a year before he blew up
3. he got the start treatment on So Far Gone
wow on that note, can u imagine a QuESt, Jay-Z, and J. Cole collab?! …oh well wishful thinking I suppose!
drake had it easy…if quest blew up then that would be monumental.
i agree with yaw. i wld love 2 c quest blow. im pinning my hopes on broken headphones esp. now with this anticipation!
I disagree, Distant Travels was an AMAZING album …that put him on right there, getting an A&R to notice his extreme dopeness is the only difficulty
& once lil wayne co-signed drake, the whole world did basically
A&Rs are jerks. they only want 1 thing: whats hot right NOW!
that was at ‘art’ and him blowing (no homo) would be monumental
exactly befears…lil wayne was the most looked at rapper and putting drake on was like shitting out a piece of gold and putting it on a plate that had lil wayne’s name diamond encrusted around the brim.
they are indeed B …but unfortunately they decide what talents get signed ..its a bitch but reality
digitek lovin the sound of that trak o yea throw in mos def and its certified dopest track ever but. id hav to say id love to quest blow up like drake but my guess is he’ll get signed really soon and get pretty good buzz but to reach drake buzz he’d hav to go to roc nation and jay would hav to promote him and j.cole like crazy but lol not happenin bp3 is i n the works maybe afterwords
I don’t know, wayne’s on a downturn …people aren’t fucking with him as much lately ..I think that young money signing was a bad move for Drake ..should have gone to Roc Nation imo
@bfears, people didn’t co-sign Drake cause Wayne did, they heard Drake through Wayne and Drake did the rest. Look at how many cats Wayne co-signed and how many of them are trash, thus why they’re shelved. Drake is dope and deserves the hype he has though. My opinion at least.
art has jus came up with the greatest analogy to why drake has the buzz he does and did get i tottaly agree with you
lol kdjugg …with Mos it would DEFINITELY be certified! ..and you’re right, jay’s LAST concern is a new artist right now, he’s about promoting his shit and thats about it
but drake did work very hard and he’s jus dope to put his cosign’s where his talent is
i cn agree wit certain points yu make @eroc. bt at the same tym, wayne was the hottest thing smoking. idk if he still is tho. my ear isnt on to the streets lyk tht. bt i wld say gucci mane has the most buzz now. idk tho
Gucci fucking GRINDS…I don’t fuck wit him, but you have to admit, that cat puts out more material than 95% of dudes out there …love it or hate it, he keeps it coming
update on his twitter, about 10 mins left!!
oh word!?!
http://twitter.com/YesIAmQuest
@Digi, it’s easy to put out material when it takes little effort. That’s why there are 500+ mixtapes a year and only 1 “Illmatic” (for example), homie.
B, Wayne may not be as hot as he was a few months back but I’m sure that’ll change once Rebirth drops. I think Wayne was the perfect dude to introduce Drake to the world, otherwise people might’ve skipped on him and let talent slip through their fingers.
And I know that applies to cats like Quest, but they’re still young and have a very bright future ahead of them.
its coming everyone!!
I agree with ya E. but all I’m saying is that ‘fans’ (and I put that in quotes cause I can’t imagine being a fan of Gucci lol) BUT they love CONSTANT new shit …and you’re right grinding is one thing and putting out quality material is something different …but shit Wayne is a perfect example, dude had like 500 mixtapes with his name on it and sold a shit ton of records….I hate to say but it seems like quantity of quality is what’s poppin right now ..and that makes me want to break shit cuz!!
how old is Quest btw? & yes i agree with yu eroc abt the wayne/drake thing. & i agree with yu abt the gucci thing. bt i hv 2 admit the hood loves him. every little song he puts out they are on it. from photoshoot to quarter brick he is on fire.
i think hes 18
That’s a very good point actually… the fans love consistency. Never crossed my mind before really but I notice how Wayne isn’t dropping a new track everyday and all of a sudden white girls aren’t praising him anymore. I personally am not a fan of cats like Gucci, Soulja, OJ, etc. but I’ll be damned if I hate on them cause I’d keep doin’ me even if I sucked, as long as the money was comin’ in.
yessir, I couldn’t agree more cousin.
I’m not sure where y’all from, fellas, but as far as I know, Gucci most definitely isn’t accepted around Brooklyn. He seems to appeal to the DMV/south mainly. Like I said, can’t hate on ol’ dude, but I won’t lie, I’m disappointed Wale has him on his album.
QuEST said 10 minutes left.. 16 MINUTES AGO
he’s only 18? well thn he does hv a bright future ahead of him. another question. is there a such thing as “too old” to rap?
yeah im from the south & gucci is big down here
gucci is pretty big up in the chi too.
its almost 2 here in FL man. i’ve never uploaded anything to zshare, but jesus, how long can that take? is this man baking biscuits and shit while he’s working??
Jay-Z proved that wrong. And as I recall, Gucci, OJ, Jim Jones, etc. are all old heads as well but no one targets them like they target Jay. As long as you’re relevant in the game and are dope, you should be welcomed into the game, race/age aside. If Big Daddy Kane can rip a stage apart to this day, then there’s no such thing as “too old”
where is the escape route
I heard it got pushed back a day or two (or maybe next Tuesday), I forgot why though.
I agree. Rick Ross didnt break into the game until he was 30. Same as Plies. I dnt think age matters. If yu dnt like the music, dnt listen to it
budden said it wasnt mixed or somethin yet
