BCMblog - Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur

For most hardcore hip hop fans if you ask them what were the golden days of hip hop most people will say the summer of 96, as recently as 2006 Nas claimed hip hop was dead. Well i agree with him to a degree this is the year which seems hip hop is reborn. This in my opinion is the most anticipated year of hip hop ever with releases from Jay-Z to Kanye West and the elusive Dr. Dre.

Eminem - Relapse - December 8th

It’s been a while since Eminem released an album his last album was a greatest hits with a few extra tracks, this albums seem to be very promising as long as he doesn’t pull the whole i’m white trash, my wife divorced me and my mom is on drugs, after 3 albums of it, it’s kind of getting old.

Nas - Untitled - July 15th

The new album by Nas has caused more controversy than maybe any other cd before it, as the title was originally slated to be N*gger which caused many civil rights activists to speak out including the likes of Jesse Jackson.

Ludacris - Theater of the mind - November 25th

On the last few tracks luda has been on he absolutely killed it, this album promises to holding nothing back, Luda is in his prime right now, besides hip hop Luda is also an avid actor recently working with Guy Ritchie in the new movie Rock n Rolla.

Dr. Dre - Detox - Sometime in December

This album is most likely Dre’s last album and has been in production since 2002, ever since his last album The Chronic 2001 which was a mega hit, Dre has been working with artists and beats to make this finally album, it was done in September of 2007 but is just waiting to be released.

50 Cent - Before I Self Destruct - December 9th

After the battle last year with Kanye West, 50 cent is back and looking to come back hard he has two projects on the go with his solo album and G Unit’s new album.

Kanye West - 808’s and Heartbreak- November 25th

With the radio already blowing up with 3 hit songs from the album, Love Lock Down, Robocop and Heartless this promises to be a huge album for Kanye but with some people questioning whether Kanye’s style is still hip hop or a new form of pop with a T-Pain infusion, either way watch out for the album.

T.I - Paper Trail - September 26th

With a couple huge hits on the charts and with the hardcore fan favourite Swagger like us this album is T.I’s biggest and one of his best, this album is already hot and has some more legs.

Jay-Z - Blueprint 3 - Sometime December

This is Jay-Z last album with Def Jam and many speculate that once this album is done he will be starting his own album with the help of Live Nation and bringing many artists with him, this album already has leaked tracks on the internet like Jocking Jay-Z.

With this list of albums this year hip hop is alive and here to stay!
