This is actually a pretty great, very well-designed music service that, if marketed and launched correctly, could easily get a lot of people who've never even heard of Spotify to start using streaming services. Unfortunately, Microsoft is the one in charge of launching it, so it's being pushed in the most obtuse,…

You know, Fat Joe used to be a decent enough rapper in his day, but the continual quality-level rollercoaster on that song between Pun's rhymes and Joe's is just jaw-dropping.
