What are people feeling in Hip-Hop 2009?

For those who don't know, new Nas/Damien Marley and The Roots albums coming in June.

There are some new albums that i'm looking forward to, Sims, Otter Darling, Brother Ali, The Roots, Dre (if it gets a release ), Mr. Lif, Kurious George, Mef and Redman, A-Trak, Abstract Rude, Raekwon.

Could be a good year

Orizio

The Lif album leaked, pretty nice after one listen.

Looking forward to the new Clipse album too and the second CunninLynguists album.
Is Jay-Z releasing one too this year? And Kanye is supposed to have a one as well.

Could be a very good year.

New Lif isn't bad. Was kind of only half listening to it but first impressions are positive.

Orizio

Does anyone prefer to listen to the instrumentals at the end of the new Cunninlynguists over the vocal versions?

Jay is supposed to be releasing Blueprint 3, not sure about Kanye.

My fave stuff so far, the stuff I would suggest getting...

1. Dirty Genes - Mojoe (OutKast and Cunninlynguists fans get this)
2. More Gray Hairs - Reks
3. Troubadour - K'naan
4. Beautiful: Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh - Kan Kick
5. All In A Day's Work - Saigon

6. A Strange Journey - Cunninlynguists


Load of other stuff I am listening to, some stuff I have forgotten as well.

Looks like your right, got a new single out called 'I'm A Gay Fish', pretty banging...

Makaveli

Do you like fish sticks?
Do you like fish sticks in your mouth?

You're a gay fish.

The POS album was good, when is th Big Boi album out lads?

After hearing Move On I really can't wait for the Slaughterhouse joint, should be out end of the summer.

Padded Room is tight too, amalgam digital fooked the distro though, like seriosuly shot themselves in the foot.

Forgot about the new Illogic album too, have really high hopes for this.

There's a clip banging about of Aesop Rock in the studio laying down a rhyme for an Illogic song which is pretty cool.

Looking forward to the "Child Rebel Soldier (CRS)" album. Its a group consisting of Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.

Rumor has it that Detox is on hold till next year. Don't think it will come out at this stage.

Jay-Z is suppossed to come out with Blueprint 3. If its anything like his last album American Gangster well then we're in for a good one.

Doubt 50 cent album will be any good.

Eminem has a new song out, we made you. It's dreadful!!

Poor Uncle Tom

Buck 65 playing 4 gigs here this month.

Also looking forward to Blueprint 3.

Ditto to the Slaughterhouse joint - the fact that Joe and Royce will be on the same album is enough for me.

Can't co-sign that Padded Room statement though, I was really disappointed with it.

New Cage album due this year too, just been listening to a few tracks off it and it sounds great, nothing left to say is exceptionally good...produced by el producto

godspal

the mf doom album is pretty good, and i am looking forward to the new Guru album.

Orizio

As far as I can tell Little Brother - with 9th Wonder - have an album coming out in the summer.

godspal

The Golden Era - Verbal Threat is something I am actually excited about, its going to be off the hook!

Nada,and the rumor of them being signed to def jam was not true either

Orizio

I know that regarding Def Jam, but they are due to release an album this year anyway.

BLITZ_Molloy

The DOOM album is far from his best but still pretty good compared to what else is around.

The new Rick Ross album is the best commercial album I've heard in a couple of years. The beats are lush with phenomenal hooks and largely great guest spots. It doesn't matter that he can't rap when it sounds this nice.

I've heard the new UGK album is excellent as well but I haven't gotten around to grabbing it yet.

floggg

New Reflection Eternal album is on the way in the summer. Should be good.

At this stage, i don't want to see a new blackstar - given mos def's new stuff, i think it would only tarnish the legacy.

some new LB would be good. Rhymefest's El che is another that i would like to see drop soon, not sure what the story is. And pharoahe monch is apparently working on some new stuff with black milk and mr porter.

Orizio

As usual, Detriot is by far the strongest scene in Hip-Hop. To come in 09 a Elzhi solo, a Black Milk solo, an Invincible/Finale collab, a Guilty Simpson/Sean Price collab and, wait for it, an Elzhi, Royce and Black Milk collab. :eek:

Boom_Bap

New Mos Def album comming out called the Ecstatic, this is the first single and i'm liking it:

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=57020701There's also a new Raekwon mixtape knocking about, which would normally mean a new album is coming soon.
