French Montana Calls “Excuse My French” The “Album Of The Decade”

    It’s a bold statement when you declare your project “the album of the decade,” but that’s just what French Montana has done. According to French his debut album, which will be executive produced by both Rick Ross and Diddy, will be “the album of the decade.” In an interview with Rap-Up, French explained why he feels that way and shared more information about the project, Excuse My French.  

    “I feel like it’s going to be a classic,” French said. “I feel like it’s going to be the best album to come out in a decade.”

    When asked why, he said it will be the “album of the decade because it just is.”

    “I’ve heard everybody’s album,” he continued, when pressed about it. “I’m a fan of everybody. I just don’t feel like nobody came out with an album like this.”

    Montana also said he has M.I.A. on the album with a hook that she cleared. According to Montana, he is also waiting on the same from Lana Del Rey. The video to that interview can be seen at the end of the article. 

    Late last year, Montana spoke with HipHopDX’s Editor-In-Chief, The Company Man, about Excuse My French. Then, Montana shared that he likes doing the unexpected.

    “I just feel like when you come from where I come from you’re always gonna be the underdog,” he said. “I feel like nobody expects you to do what you’re gonna do. So, when we do it it’s like you smacked them in the face. Nobody expects me to have the best album to come out in a long time out of New York. Nobody expected nothing now that we’re doing.”

    1. Just another rapper boasting about his album. Kendrick has the album of the decade but even he won’t admit to it.

    2. This Negro tripping! Can we get a song from this pendejo without a feature?
      Hahahahahahaha Farted from laughing so hard!!!

    3. It’ll be up there with other modern rap classics like Tony Yayo’s Thoughts of a Predicate Felon or Kevin Federline’s Playing with Fire.

    4. When is someone going to have the balls to ask him about filming DJ Khaled’s mom for 50 Cent during the Rick Ross beef? Now Ross is executive producing his album? LOL, these fuckin clowns ain’t real.

    5. See why can’t he just say it’s going to be good album? Album of the decade means you actually have to be able to rap and Montana clearly can’t rap or at least rap on an elite level. I’m not hating on his success so Montana go and get your paper but saying bold statments like this only set you up for failure. I will believe that when I see pigs fly or when racism is over or when Rick Ross will get skinny. This is nonsense!

      1. Bill Cosby would die and Morgan Freemans voice will narrate the self implosion of the sun too the world if this nigga has the album of the decade

      2. Pigs would fly, jesus would return, they would find the holy grail, hitler’s body, and the ark of the covenant.

    6. Yeah right

      First he should try to beat the top 50 albums, from THIS year
      Talking about best of the decade…f*ck outa here

    7. If we’re talking just in the world of hip-hop, then the best album of the decade is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Good Kid, m.A.A.d. city

      1. Definitely GKMC.

        1. Eminem
        2. Jay-Z
        3. Kendrick Lamar
        4. Biggie/Pac tie
        5. Lupe Fiasco

        The Blueprint, Marshall Mathers LP, GKMC, F&L, Me Against The World, Ready To Die, and so on…these are decade classics.

        He needs to choose France or Montana and go off the fucking grid so we don’t hear his bullshit anymore.

      2. he’s talking about this decade dipshit, not of all time. And not listing any material by Kanye is a travesty. French is a fag though.

    8. I like that you believe in yourself and that you’re doing something different, French, but truth be told: you’re a horrible rapper and you should feel bad.

      1. most likely, they even praised the dumbass when he wore that bear on the Freshman cover, they acted like him wearing that shit was so original, when in reality he stole the idea from Blake Anderson (Workaholics).

    9. Look at his face. He don’t believe a word that he’s saying. French knows the short yellow bus rap is dying quick. He’s beggin right now.

    10. Whenever a rapper like French Montana makes such bold and questionable statements, a quote from Brian Griffin comes to mind: “Can I buy some pot from you?”

    11. ALBUM OF THE WHAT? YEA THE BEST ALBUM TO DUMP SOME KUSH ON AND ROLLUP OFF OF SMFH, THESE NEW ARTISTS BE JOCKIN THEY OWN SELF AND DON’T WAIT FOR THE AUDIENCE TO GIVE PROPS. DUDE CAN’T EVEN RHYME LIKE THAT BUT YOU GOT THE BEST OF THE DECADE? GTFOHWTBS…KICK ROCKS MONTANA, ASAP ROCKY CAN KICK ROCKS TOO….JOEY BADASS & ASTRO CAN SPIT BETTER THAN BOTH THESE DUDES #IJS

    12. nigga, if ur albums anything like ur ugly as hook on pushas mixtape then ur CDS gonna be the official weed plate of the decade..

      1. ^^^ Hahahaha yeah that track got deleted due to stench montana.. Troy Ave did a way better job and he garbage too… Troy Ave > French

    13. LMAO I am pretty sure everyone is laughing at this even his fans smh. He can even get enough hype for it to be album of the month GTFOH!

    14. Man I’ll keep this short and sweet!: HIS ALBUM WON’T COME EVEN CLOSE TO GOLD MUCH LESS SELL 200,000 this Nigga!! can’t even call him that, not sure what he is but he is WACK period!

      1. yep! not one positive comment!

        I met one french fan in my whole life. she told me he is her favorite rapper so i didnt think much of it.

    15. David blaine mr potato head lookin nigga ………….who da fuck listens to this guy tho i aint met a fan of his yet

    16. THIS NIGGA BEEN IN THE STREETS GIVIN OUT FREE QUALITY MUSIC WITH COCAINE CITY SINCE 2001…THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HE HAS A FLAIR AND A GOOD EAR FOR GOOD STREET MUSIC…THEREFORE FRENCH HAS ALL THE RIGHTS TO CALL HIS DEBUT THE BEST ALBUM OF THE DECADE..DONT TELL ME SHOT CALLER WASNT HOT..IF THIS JOINT DIDNT MAKE THE CUT ON THE ALBUM IMAGINE THE OTHER TRACKS THAT WILL BE IN IT..YALL JUST BIASED CUZ HE WITH BAD BOY AND DIDDY…NOT THE BEST LABEL TO BE WITH..HE SHOULDA BEEN TO YMCMB

      EXCUSE MY FRENCH > > > GKMC, SK IMMORTAL

    17. Did this dude really comment n say excuse my french over GKMC? HA LMAOOOOO !! Stop it ! Im from NY so I know exactly what French been doing in the streets..but “album of the decade” c’mon GTFOHWTBS. How about he stop talking and let his album do the talking…

    18. who those who haven’t seen a track list…

      how many features do you think he will have on the album? my guess is 10

    19. this fake ass ny’er soundin like sum asslanta rapper. ny iz juss all fuked up now. asap dressn weird an sht. red cafe iz juss thrash.

    20. I love French , especially on guest verses, but have zero expectations for this album. I don’t get his need to even release an album? So many albums are unnecessary these days. Yeah, great… you got the club track, the im-still-in-the-game-but-im-not track, the “one for the streets”, the one for the girls, the one about how you like kush so much you compare it to girls, and the track about your long come-up story. Add a over zealous amount of lackluster guest verses and a surprise out of character appearance (Lana Del Rey in this case) and boom… there’s the album. Same formula for everything.

      Dude was caking off the cocaine city grind. His mixtapes are tough. When Max B was around they were an amazing combo and at the end of the day had at huge huge buzzes in at least 3 of the boroughs.

      Why bother tarnishing your legacy with signing with bad boy and putting out a mediocre album?? does not make sense. French was like the epitome of independent grinding and seemed like he was doing very very well.

      I hope I’m proved wrong and this album is great, but I doubt it. And that’s nothing personal against French. I think he’s dope. I respect his hustle and come-up. But that’s just the way it is these days with like 90% of major label albums. They’re formulaic and corny as f***. Unless you got something cohesive to put together like Kendrick’s album, something that tells a story and takes you on a journey and makes you wanna listen from start to finish … stick to singles, mixtapes and guest verses. the whole need-to-have-an-album model is getting played out. Meek’s album was disappointing as well, yet Dreamchasers 1 and 2 were amazing. unless u got something to say for real… f*** albums

    21. “Or have a heart attack from laughing so hard”

      Again, at least Pop That went platinum. That’s a pretty big feat for anybody. In an interview Montana said his album will outsell GRODT. Now that’s laughable, but if Montana stays in his own lane and keeps his expectations low, he might do some damage. Maybe sell 300,000 total. That’s Meek Mill territory, so once again not bad if you’re expectations are low.

    22. aha…ha….ha….hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

      1. You are a moron in every way!

        A decade is 10 years, it doesn’t have to start in 2010, or the year 2000, 2020, etc…

        French didnt specify if he meant this decade (2003-2013) or the next decade (2013-2023) but it was still a ridiculous statement to make.

    23. What if 15 years from now we be talking to our kids like “Excuse My French change the game forever, nobody believed French back in those days…but, he really….he really drop a CLASSIC and redefine hip=hop forever…and that’s why he’s running for president now “

    24. It will be hard to pass good kid, maad city. but if you count the decade to start in 2010 and not in 2011 it most sifficult to pass my beautiful dark twisted fantasy.

    25. how did french get over 1 million downloads on datpiff for mac and cheese 3 but aint got one fan on this supporting him he aint got no fanbase… puffy prob paid some company to do 900k downloads for that shit to make him look hot … french aint gonna sell no albums unless bad bay records buy them all for him

      1. same reason meek mill got 3 million downloads on dreamchasers 2 but can barely sell 300k albums in 4 months

        dat piff download numbers aren’t real. the labels pay for those numbers to make them seem more popular

    26. ya’ll niggas sleep on that mac n cheese 3 mixtape shit was better than most niggas albums that dropped in the past year…the intro come in hard then he got sanctuary, state of mind, ocho cinco and tic toc go hard this nigga got the entire bad boy team and rozay behind him and I dont give a fuck what nobody say his production alone go be raw…i aint even no huge french fan but the nigga been slowly gettin better

      1. the bad boy team and rozay! OHHH SHIT! better watch out! machine gun kelly and red cafe are a force to be reckoned with, got the rap game on lock! LOL

        still dont understand why rozay is still fucking with him after taping dj khaled’s mom for 50 during the ross beef. the fakes gotta stick together i suppose.

      2. “been slowly getting better”

        he’s still miles away from being a decent rapper, they should save that raw production for someone who can actually rap.

      1. lol 2002 eminem would have hated Recovery, the dude sold out. Also he means 2003-2013 or 2013-2023 decade doesn’t have to mean 2010-2020
