The iconic Internet Series has had a lion-share of great episodes. Which are the best of the best?
I wanted to make a series to share some playlists with y’all. For those that don’t know, I used to do radio, both Sports talk as well as traditional talk shows. I used to love putting together playlists for my show, whether they had a common theme or I just took people back in time a little bit.
Yes, this playlist has Bad and Boujee. Duh.

What’s the greatest Christmas song of all time? We’re putting it to our voters to find out!
Life is full of important questions, what is the meaning of life? How much IS too much? What is it that Meatloaf WON’T do for love (he never clarifies) and, of course:
How you like your eggs?
Fried or fertilized?
That get your attention? No? Oh. Okay. Cool. Welcome to my brand new series, I don’t have a title for it because I’m not creative. It’ll discuss current or past moments that didn’t get the looks, attention or fame they really deserve. Sorta. I think. We’ll see.
I’m Robert Raimon Roy As in that boy from the cul-de-sac of Provost Court: Still Jacksonville, Florida It’s alright if you haven’t quite heard of Rob Roy. He’s not a household name by any means and isn’t one of the most established artists in the underground realm. His style is jittery, spastic and at times … Continue reading Rob Roy is “Johnny” on the Spot with New EP
A wormhole is defined as “a hypothetical connection between widely separated regions of space-time”. Pretty much meaning how the f*^& did I end up on Mexican Fireworks Porn (seriously hope this isn’t a real niche) when all I was doing was researching Mimosa recipes? Sorry guys, unfortunately, this isn’t a post about strange porn findings. … Continue reading Wormhole Gems
Open Mike Eagle, pioneer of the Art Rap subgenre, drops a collaborative effort with producer Paul White. Can the LA-based emcee stand out in today’s rap climate?
MTV was actually playing music videos. Yes, the channel named Music Television was actually playing videos. Crazy, I know right? Well while I was up at 3 am in the morning for no good damn reason, I discovered the coolest video I’ve seen in ages. The song is “No Words” by Erik Hassle. So join me … Continue reading While You Were Sleeping…

Hip-hop personally means a lot to me. During my short lifespan, it’s been great seeing so many artists progress and rise up the ranks. We’ve gone through several generations, each of which has had their own signature MC. This artist usually started off as a relatively unknown guy who created tons a buzz by a … Continue reading New World Water
Initially, this was just meant to be an album review. Then I realized that possibly no one would read it. I mean, cmon, have you even heard of Hiatus Kaiyote? Right. So why would you click on their album review? I was late to this party myself and I know many others are too. But … Continue reading Who the Heck is Hiatus Kaiyote??!?!
