Most Anticipated Albums of 2010
1. Lupe Fiasco: Lasers
Lasers is an acronym for Love Always Shines Every time
Remember to Smile and is Lupe Fiasco's third album. We all thought that we were
embarking up the retirement of the budding star but contractual commitments
intervened. "Shining Down" is set to be the debut single.
2. Kanye West: Good Ass Job
A Good Ass Job is Kanye West's return to a purer version of
the art form we call Hip Hop after his auto tuned
808s & Heartbreak. The title track to the album features under rated
lyricist Rhymefest and Mikkey Halstead. With his pretty consistent history of
controversial and curious outbursts fans and critics are anxious to see if the
gifted mind of Kanye West is stable enough to continue to make historical
contributions to the world of Hip Hop and American music over all.
3. Ludacris: Battle of the Sexes
Battle of The Sexes is
definitely a more intriguing album to look for February 2010. The album will
explore the age old question of which sex is superior. Originally the album was
planned to be a battle between Ludacris and Shawnna but since she signed to a
different label the project was revised--and for the better. The album is said
to now include the likes of Lil' Kim, Monica and Ne-Yo to go toe to toe on wax
in an all out no holds barred Battle of The
Sexes.
4. Missy Elliot: Block Party
Block Party is Missy's return to the music scene since 2005. Missy has
represented well for the femcees and it's high time for her return. Known for
her creative turns and innovative video treatments Missy is said to have some of
the same elements on Block Party as she did in her prior successes. Timbaland
and The Neptunes are rumored to have produced tracks for Block Party and they
always make us dance.
5. Eminem: Relapse 2
Relapse 2 is definitely a must get hip
hop album. Eminem showed and proved that his lyricism is paramount to any
personal crisis or widespread doubt. The Detroit emcee is set to drop
Relapse 2 and it has the potential to be a
banger. His drug induced vibe is said to be no more. Eminem went in with Just
Blaze, Dr. Dre and more to produce some material that he describes as "rapid
fire punch lines" because he "wanted to prove to (myself) he could do it".
