“Kanye West’s new album will make you confused rap n—- go back and listen to BEAT TAPES you’ve ignored,” tweeted DJ Scratch last weekend. “Trust me.”

Such a bold statement can only serve to make fans build their anticipation for the next move from rapper Kanye West.

With West fading into obscurity ever since his incident with Taylor Swift, there has been word from everywhere that the rapper has been steadily regrouping and preparing himself for his fifth studio album, Good A** Job. HipHopWired

Well, our sources are unsure if this is the actual name of the album (remember the original name of Metallica’s first album?), but our sources have been confused and beleaguered (and non-existent) in the past, so there you go. I will say that I don’t agree that he’s been fading into obscurity. In fact, I would say he’s as present as ever if you know where to look. That said, he does have to make a grand statement with this next album in 2010 – Good A** Job.

To sum it up – Kanye West is NOT dead and the new 2010 Kanye West album will be dropping – eventually. Stay tuned for more…

It’s well known an this point that Jay-Z (appearing tonight at the Pepsi Center with Sound Tribe Sector 9, Trey Songz and Young Jeezy) has 99 problems, and a bitch, most certainly, ain’t one. Curiously, though, until now, no one’s really taken a hard look at just what Hova’s 99 problems are, particularly these days. After much discussion and analysis, we’ve narrowed down a list what we think the rapper is plagued with over the course of a typical day, like the fact that all the money in the world can’t keep his new kitten from shedding on the couch, or perhaps he’s wrestling with the possibility that Babe Ruth indeed made the Yankee hat more famous than he did. See the full list after the jump.

Well, okay kaytee cinnci. We’re not sure if Mr. Kanye West will get your message, but we’re going to throw it out there for the world as they wait anxiously for the new Kanye West album in 2010.

Dear New Kanye West Album 2010-

You haven’t arrived yet, but I await your arrival with anticipation. Will you spout your poetry to me? Like that one time? Okay, I know I wasn’t supposed to leak that, but you know what your music and your words do to me!

You’re like an overdue library fee stuck in the back of my mind. I know I need to do something about it, but it’s kinda a hassle with all the other words and books around, you know?

Seriously – your new album. What’s the deal? We’re ALL waiting for it to drop and you don’t EVEN LET US KNOW ON YOUR BLOG IN YOUR WAY? (And I wonder if you have a ghost-blogger writing for you. If you ask, I will purchase you a new keyboard that doesn’t have the CAPS LOCK stuck. That’s just how I roll.

Anyway. As I said, waiting for your new album in 2010 to drop and I thought I’d send a shout out to this blog that’s all about you. Will you read this and respond to me? You remember me, don’t you?

That one city. That one time.

That one line. That one rhyme.

Signed,
New 2010 Kanye West Album Fan

My reaction? I’m still not sure.

You have something you want Kanye West to read but don’t know how to get ahold of him? Send it to me and I’ll post it on the Internet. Granted, you could do that on your own somewhere – your own blog – but maybe someday when he’s waiting in line for something Mr. West himself will stop by the site. Wouldn’t you kick yourself then if I gave you a chance to send him an “open letter” for the world to see and you passed up the chance.

Right?

So get typing. Just start it “Dear Kanye West…”

Meanwhile, there’s news about Kanye saying he’s going to be appearing on this or that album. Maybe this year Kanye West is all about backing up other acts while he pursues his poetry?

• Drake - This rookie’s new album may have Kanye West (as well as Jay-Z) on board. Stay tuned for more info.

As for the new Kanye West album in 2010, maybe we’ll get to hear his “realistic” poetic side soon.

Stay tuned and bookmark us or RSS us (that’s legal) for all the latest Kanye West news on his new album in 2010. If it happens …according to our sources.
