5 Most Anticipated Albums of 2010
1. Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
Lupe has always been an amazing lyricist, but he has gotten better and better at crafting full songs. This leak off of Lasers, I’m Beamin’, is a sign of good things to come. The positive messages of Lupe coupled with his awesome technical abilities sets him up to do great things this year.
2. Damian Marley & Nas - Distant Relatives
I have Road to Zion. It’s a great song. Just because they made one great song, however, doesn’t mean that a full album would be good. I can say though that from the two leaked songs I have that this album will be very special if the rest of the album is as good.
3. J. Cole - TBA
J. Cole has been generating quite the buzz lately. He had, in my opinion, the best mixtape of the year, a guest verse on a Jay-Z song, and awesome guest verses all around. I haven’t heard a bad verse yet, and I am very excited to see what this guy can cook up.
4. Drake - Thank Me Later
After So Far Gone and the buzz it generated, the bar is set exceptionally high. This is supposed to be the album that all the blogs and all of my friends will like. We will see.
5. Eminem - Relapse 2
I didn’t love the first installment, but one thing got me excited for Relapse 2: Eminem is working with Just Blaze on several songs. Just Blaze is one of my if not my favorite producer, so I am excited to see what they can cook up.
