"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt (via a tweet by Will Keightley), about 3 hours ago, 02.06.08 I've been cynical about politics since the mid nineties. Going to college in DC will do that to you, I think. So, while everyone...

The heat might smother you... Yeah, I know it's wintertime outside here in the States but the music is hot! I've been sitting on these tracks ever since I made the MLK mix that I had to make another one. Shout out to all my people who gave me love on the last mix, especially EJ and Fave who keep...

I've finally left Illinois. Silly me I thought Des Moines was on the Mississippi so I was overcome with joy to find myself crossing the river much sooner than expected. Iowa however is one nasty short and squat little state. I should warn you that Interstate 80 takes a turn at Des Moines so if you...
Which has the better sample? Both songs sampled Silly Wasn't I by Valerie Simpson. I personally think Murs killed the song, but then again I have an anti-50 cent/G-unit bias. Plus you can clearly tell what the hell Murs is rhyming about rather than 50 Cent's wack ass mumbling style. And I think the...
I've been in a sort of musical funk lately. No, I don't consider myself a musician by any stretch of the imagination. By "musical funk", I mean that the music that has had the distinct pleasure of entering my ear holes has mostly been un-inspired, sub-par aural drivel. Ok, that might be a little...
Even though it would be a f*cked up thing, I'm hoping this is a publicity stunt a'la Jay-Z. But it looks like the dopest female emcee since MC Lyte is hanging up her mic. I'm a little late on finding this out, and it's breaking my heart. I've never really 'felt' female emcees had the same fire to...
seriously. do you? Mainstream music doesn't really provide substantial content. I mean there are times when songs slip through via some retro/old school/rush hour mix. That moment you hear Ms. Lauryn Hill's oooo oooo oooo, we get taken back to 1996, then come Nas' 1st 16. If I ruled the world off of...

So here we go again. Doesn't feel all that long ago since I did the 2006 Best of Music post. Actually, that means that I have been blogging for just over a year. I shall bring you some mo for 2008. Peace and enjoy the holidays y'all!
They played here last night for free as part of SLC's Twilight Concert Series, a series of outdoor concerts in the evening that runs for six weeks. They are far and away the biggest band playing this series, and this was reflected in the fact that the venue was wall-to-wall flesh. Even veterans of...
a tune i'm loving all over again from one of hip-hop's golden eras (rawkus, company flow, hi-tek, pharoah monch, all thanks to murdoch moola) when a glimmer of a black star hope fizzled into a rap wrap. dashed dreams! shocking how far mos has fallen off since. at least kweli continues to make good...
