Sup world it's your main man Molo Yueng.
Well with 2009 coming to an end and the last real major push came on last Tuesday. (w/ Gucci, Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Snoop dropping) Only album left is Lady GaGa's and Young Money's album on 12/21. So who is next? What albums are people really waiting to buy or download? So me and the braintrust at Sarcarrogance Inc, were talking(we do that a lot) and here are some you might want to checkout.
P.S. OPEN YOUR MIND!!:
SADE
By far this is the most anticipated album of 2010. It's gone through a name change (previously titled Love Supreme) and it's been nearly nine years since its predecessor (Lovers Rock) dropped, but Sade's new album will drop worldwide Feb. 8, 2010. And, like her two previous albums, Soldiers of Love continues the tradition of extended gaps of time between releases. This will be the sixth record from the soulful 50-year-old songstress and her three band members.
They released their debut, Diamond Life, in 1985.
DEFTONES
For Deftones, the path to completing their latest album has been particularly difficult. In November 2008, in the midst of the band’s work on their next record, bassist Chi Cheng was involved in a serious car accident, which left him in a coma. Picking up the pieces, the band decided to shelve the songs they had written for what was going to be called Eros and returned to the studio to start over.
That new record, which has yet to be given a name, is expected to come out February 2010.
LIMP BIZKIT
In 2009, Limp Bizkit buried the hatchet with estranged guitarist Wes Borland and started working on demos for a new record. Initially, the band wanted to release their comeback album by Christmas 2009, but now a 2010 date seems much more likely. This new album will be Limp Bizkit’s first with Borland since 2000’s Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, and the hope is that Borland’s innovative guitar playing will help give the band their old vitality.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
The first new Red Hot Chili Peppers album since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium probably won’t arrive until the end of 2010. The Los Angeles quartet convened in October 2009 to start jamming, which is their standard practice when they begin work on a new record.
Even if for some reason the album gets delayed, 2010 could still be a banner year for the band, though – they’re eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
DRAKE
Lil’ Wayne’s protégé needs to get this album out ASAP in early 2010 because his buzz has already peaked and it’s slowly fading. A few months ago at the height of his popularity, a new Drake album could have been a rare album to go platinum in a week, but Drake is taking his time crafting his debut record which hopefully pays off on the end. With rumored appearances by The-Dream, Kanye and probably some hot indie-rock stars (‘cause that’s the hip thing for rappers to do nowadays) it should be an interesting listen and is no doubt going to cause much discussion in the rap community.
LUPE FIASCO
Lupe has been quiet for awhile with only a mixtape popping up recently to bring his name back in response to his lack of appearance on MTV’s Hottest Rappers list, Lupe has a lot to prove, mainly that he can continue to be relevant in today’s rap landscape while not forsaking his challenging, intellectual rhymes.
Lupe has made lots of different remarks about retiring after his next record so we’ll see if his ego gets to him or if he can wisely give his fans what they want, more good Lupe music. Don't expect lots of materialistic rap about leather Mustang seats like these here, but more cerebral stuff that will make you think.
BIG BOI
The first OutKast release out the gate will be Big Boi's long overdue solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Boi tells Billboard.com that his solo debut is "coming at the top of the year." Judging by the singles and buzz songs, Sir Lucious Left Foot shows signs of brilliance. It has already spawned two solid hits, the Mary J Blige-assisted "Something's Gotta Give" and "Royal Flush," alongside Raekwon and Andre 3000. You may recall that "Royal Flush" topped our Best Rap Songs of 2008 list.
MGMT
We know recent Flaming Lips, Kid Cudi, and Jay-Z collaborators Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden recorded their second album with ex-Spacemen 3 member Pete Kember, that it's being mixed by David Fridmann, and that it features vocals from charismatically disengaged Royal Trux vocalist Jennifer Herrema. Supposedly the guys working on something with Paul McCartney: We're unsure if the fruits of the latter will appear on Congratulations, but clearly, congratulations anyhow.
BLINK 182
Back after a nearly five year hiatus, punk rock band Blink-182 is slated to come out with a new album sometime in late 2010. It seems hard to believe that a band formed in 1992 can still continue on the way that they do, but they have somehow done it for all these years. Will they keep their music the same as their previous albums or go with something new? Whichever the case, I look for this band to make some waves in 2010.
KANYE WEST
Mr. Kanye is a workaholic and rarely goes more than a year without releasing a new album so it is highly likely that his new album, rumored to be called “Good Ass Job” will come out sometime in 2010.
Look for it to be a return to Kanye’s rapping roots after his auto-tuned “808s and Heartbreak” album. Kanye released some of his best guest featured raps in 2009 to prove that he can do more than just bad auto-tuned singing, so look for him to continue to push his rhymes to new places and prove that he is one of the best rappers alive.
I know I left out a couple of people. But I didn't put some folks like Beyonce, Outkast, Britney, Madonna cause they haven't even started on their albums.
Be on the look out for Lil Wayne's projects if they come out. Nicki Manaj has something cooking as does Christina Aguilera and Pink. So I won't say Happy New Year yet but have a good weekend.
"You never know the destination, until you take the journey."
I'm just saying!
