Upvoted if for nothing else than bringing up Deadly Medley. What a glorious, glorious track.

Maybe i'm wrong, but is there any genre of music written about by people who aren't fans as rap is? Seems like half the time the writer feels the need to make it clear to the reader, that they're true tests lie elsewhere, but THIS song/album/whatever is worthy. Its frustrating looking for quality hip-hop writing by…

Cam'ron & The Diplomats. Anyone who is a fan of Dipset and their run in the early/mid 2000's is my kind of person. A serious enough rap fan to know about and dig a crew with only marginal mainstream success but a substantial underground catalog, but light hearted enough to appreciate the comedy in roughly 80% of those…

Stupid Disqus is only letting me upvote this once. You deserve all the upvotes, Mr. Milksteaks.

Chief Keef, Smoke DZA, Spaceghost Purp, Just Blaze, Lil Herb, and Young Dro are some other contributions from Hip-Hop to this list. Im actually surprised i didn't find MORE when scrolling through my Itunes library.

Dear god, that would be amazing.

Mine would absolutely have to be…..

I'd like to say that Ang Lee's Hulk would be better received if it came out today, since serious super hero movies are more the norm, but it's tone is so different from the rest of the recent Marvel movies it'd still be torn to shreds.

Despite Chris Berman predicting the matchup for something like 10 straight years, San Francisco never played Buffalo in the Super Bowl. Buffalo lost to the Giants, Redskins, and the Cowboys twice.

The worst episode is "Christopher". There are no acceptable alternatives.

Thanks for the heads up, will check this out

Oh absolutely. World So Cold off that same tape is amazing, and Iodine Poison is one of my fave as well. Gibbs has never put a project that's worth skipping.

God damnit, i keep forgetting to pick that up. Thanks for the reminder, downloading now.

LOL, i know people like that, and get it. But as someone who was a Pap disciple at the beginning of his mixtape run, all the struggle bars of his later stuff HURT. I almost talked myself into liking Nacirema Dream last year until I snapped out of it.

Madlib & Gibbs are coming to town on the 27th. Ive heard rave reviews about the show from earlier stops, so i can't wait. The week after that the LOX come to town, followed by Schoolboy Q on the 10th, Chance the Rapper on the 14th, A$AP Ferg & The Flatbush Zombies on the 16th, Mobb Deep on the 17th, Nipsey Hussle on…

In other releases:

Spot on review. Not the classic that some were expecting, but still a damn good release. The production is never bad, but it didn't really feel terribly dynamic in the first half. It picks up steam around "Real" and continues on through the finish.

Re-alignment has definitely helped hurt the regular season. Even with the monstrous, bastardized Big East of the 2000's, there was still the original members, and damn near every game was worth watching. Any combination of Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse, Georgetown, Villanova, West Virginia, UCONN & Marquette had me…

Thank you for mentioning the Big East's signature style. I know i'm one of the few, but I absolutely loved rough and tumble Big East games. As a former player who maximized his skills by being a rough, ornery sumbitch, I had the deepest respect for a conference that essentially required that level of toughness. You'd…
