I have a few key points I'd like to address from watching this video: WHEN CNN STARTS USING URBAN SLANG, THAT MEANS THAT YOU, AS AN URBAN SLANG USER, MUST JUMP OFF OF THE SWAG SHIP. Thank Jesus.  That shit was getting old, although I will note that I do own ... Continue Reading

Dear Sole, I'm writing you this out of pure frustration and moderate contempt.  I heard you were moving to my hometown, and I wanted to punch something in the face, you happened to be too far away at the time (jokes, I promise).  Now, I know that you have made your ... Continue Reading

If someone asked me who my top five favorite emcees were, Elzhi of Slum Village and his own justified solo fame would definitely be one of the top contenders.  'The Preface" was easily one of my top albums of 2008.  Often slept on and under appreciated, 2009 will be the ... Continue Reading
