I still rank "Distortion To Static" as the best overall track, but Illadelph as the best overall album.

No, it was actually a pretty terrific year for hip hop, just no one on this staff seemed to notice.

Fuck that, it's my new band name.

I thought the Toy Story short was terrific.  I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more mention here.  They flashed the credits way too fast for me to catch some of the voices, and I keep meaning to hit IMDB to see the lineup.

Fake Ghostface Killah returns with another absolute gem:
