Graphic Novel Review: Southern Bastards
I love the South, and I’m pretty fond of Alabama. For all the things bad about it, I still find some good in it. Maybe its the low-cost of living, or the high rate of diabetes that’s embedded in great food, but whatever it is…I love it. So when I came across a graphic novel(which I … Continue reading Graphic Novel Review: Southern Bastards

The Most Overrated Albums Of Our Lifetime
Let me start off by saying I know music affects us all in different ways, but lets face it sometimes we take it too far when saying things like “This album is a classic” after one listen or my personal favorite “this album changed my life”. Actually the “life changing” album is what spurred this … Continue reading The Most Overrated Albums Of Our Lifetime

Here’s the last 5. 15-11 here and 10-6 here. 5. Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment – Surf Chance the Rapper is Morris Day and The Social Experiment is The Time.

GoldLink-Dance on me
I type up some words about this guy like yesterday. Good to see he’s already keeping the work going.
Jay Rock – Money Trees Deuce
I really think Jay Rock has some heat baking in the oven for this album. I feel it. And don’t ask why Kendrick isn’t on this one, he snatched the first one out of K. Dot’s hands. It’s his now.
Kembe X – Hereditary (featuring Danny Brown) / Loosie [video]
It’s been a long time since that Can I Borrow A Dollar? mixtape but Kembe is better than ever. Honestly, I thought he would blow before now but let’s hope this mixtape is the one that does it. His single featuring Danny Brown is below, along with a video for “Loosie”
Kendrick Lamar – These Walls [Live]
Seeing Kendrick on The Colbert Report was cool. Seeing him on Ellen was…interesting. Watch the artsy performance of “These Walls” above. Still not too late to read America Eats Its Young: An Examination of To Pimp A Butterfly either.

Keep knocking these out the park. Dixie Renaisssance. Soon.
Run the Jewels – Early [video]
New video from hip-hop’s #1 tag team duo. Run the Jewels II is still out there if you’re sleeping.
TV on the Radio-Trouble [video]

Vince Staples featuring Future-Senorita [video]
Just when you thought videos were dead…Man, this is powerful.

A Cynic’s Perspective
Ya know at some point we as a people and fans of hip hop have to stand up and rise against Jay-Z looking down on us.
