What hippy hoppy albums are you all looking forward to in 2009?

Rjd2

Big Boi, Dre, Doom are some I look forward to, what are you all loking forward to?
P.S when does Plan B release a new album?

yeah-buddy

Jay-z - blueprint 3, 50 cent-Before I Self Destruct, dr. dre - Detox , eminem - Having a relapse, charles hamilton and lupe fiasco if he releases anything

Boom_Bap

Not sure about Plan B, he seems to have disappeared.

The one album i'm looking forward to so far is P.O.S - Never Been Better. I think that Cage will be releasing something this year too which should be interesting.

HalloweenJack

Dr. Dre & Big Boi definitely.

Forgot about them. Will the CRayz album get out though this year, as far as i know he is still in the clink and will be there for a while.

Ah yeah forgot about that. Thought that would have been cleared up by now since it wasn't that serious.

As far as i know the Free Wayz Walls campain is still ongoing to cover his legal bills to get him released.

Also, i was listening to an interview with El-P and Rayz has now cut all ties with Def Jux. We wont be likely to hear any production from that camp on the new record.

Podge2k7

Eminem-Relaspe
50 Cent-Before I Self Destruct

2 of the main ones that I can think of.!

gucci manes album when he gets out.....FREE GUCCI

I really don't know. Possibly Blueprint 3.

Here some that I should be looking forward to, but honestly I am dreading to listening to them:
Detox
Only Built 4 the Cuban Linx 2

Why? Because they have been in production for so long that I thing they are going to be terrible, possibly lyrics will be somewhat good, but both albums I think are going to have a very fragmented, erratic sound unlike the albums that made these artists great.

This is actually shaping up to be potentially brilliant. It's going with the same cinematic concept with Deck and Masta Killa in supporting roles. Method Man, Ghost and Travis Barker are all confirmed to be featuring. It's rumoured that The Game will also feature.

As for the production, Rza has done 6 or 7 tracks for the album, Mathematics has a couple, Dre has done 2 (album originally supposed to be released on Aftermath), Pete Rock, J Dilla, Marley Marl, Easy Mo Bee, Erick Sermon and DJ Scratch.

I dont expect this to be anywhere near as good as the first, but it sounds like there is hope for it. Also, too many different producers might not give a balanced sound to the album as a whole and might give that erratic sound that you mentioned.

I don't know, the Wu-Gambino, Mafiesto style of the original was a great concept, and I think concept albums need a very cemented style to pull it off well.
