Music in 2009

Despite the music industry dying, I am still looking forward to a few different albums in 2009. Here they are:

1.) Lupe Fiasco - LupE.N.D. - This is a TRIPLE CD! I am pumped for this album more than anything. It is Lupe's last album but it contains three discs. If I understand correctly, each disc is going to be individually. At least that is what Wiki says. The first disc is "Everywhere", the second "Nowhere", and the last is called "Down Here". The first disc is expected to be released in late 2009.

2.) Deftones - Eros - I really enjoyed Saturday Night Wrist, their last CD. The bad stated that this will be more simplified and raw than the previous album. The bassist, Chi Cheng was in a serious car accident in November and is still recovering which is putting a halt on recording, but it is still slated to come out this year.

3.) Chamillionaire - Venom - I posted about this album in an earlier post. I really like Chamillionaire as an artist because he keeps it real. Unlike other rappers out there, he talks about things happening in the real world. He really cares about what he does and works hard. Venom comes out in February.

4.) Limp Bizkit - The Unquestionable Truth (Part 2) - This is not confirmed, but all signs are pointing to YES. Wes Borland is back in the band for a third time and they are going to finish what they started with The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1). This will move to the top of my list once it is confirmed.

5.) Linkin Park - TBA - Linkin Park should have a new album before this year ends. I was one of few who really enjoyed Minutes to Midnight. They just make good music to listen to.

Others:
- Kanye West is supposed to have an actual hip hop CD coming out. I'll look for that.
- Hurt is also coming with a new album in April
- Jay-Z with the Blueprint 3


Side Rant:
- I got a book for my online class today. It cost me $181! It was ONE book included with NO extras! Ridiculous.

Talk to everyone tomorrow.
