Let’s pray that he’s saying nullus…
I have been a poor member of the online community over the last few months. I’ve been so totally wrapped up in my ish that I haven’t been giving shouts to all the people that entertain and enlighten me when I bounce around the internets.
I know just where to begin…
25 For Life, Rap Music’s Greatest Albums
JOEY from Straight Bangin’ and JEFF from Passion Of The Weiss have formed Voltron to save Hip-Hop. They invited their internets friends (read: internets bloggers whom they have never met) to submit lists of their favorite 25 albums within the Hip-Hop genre. This was at first an anxiety filled project because who in the world can create a list with only 25 albums after listening to Hip-Hop for more than 25 years? I was encouraged by the creator’s of the project itself when they submitted their own lists. I didn’t feel as odd any longer for the choices I had made.
I give these dudes mad respect for the time and care they put into this project. When you click on either links for Straight Bangin’ or Passion Of The Weiss don’t just review the top 25 albums but also view the spreadsheet. These dudes won.
A few of our regular friends have been pretty busy lately too…
ROBBIE from UNKUT Dot Com might be the best Hip-Hop journalist evar. Firstly, dude knows his shit inside fucking out. Secondly, because he knows his shit so well he is able to bring out the best interview from his subjects. This drop he does with my nigga MIKE HERON is one of the realest interviews you will ever read. Stand up Queens and all of you Newtown High School dropouts!
VIK from BIOCHEMICAL SLANG has become a blogging beast. Mind you that this kid is in school to be like a neurosurgeon or some shit. I’m gonna get my lobotomy on the hookup after he graduates.
AMADEO SOGNI is letting his hair grow back. Single Black male adult angst from B’More Maryland. Way more introspective than ‘The Wire’.
I met this sister JAYLYAH over the weekend at the STEVIE WONDER tribute. SHE REAL COOL needs to be renamed SHE REAL CUTE. If I were you fellas I’d get my ass to the next Brooklyn Museum of Art First Saturday or the next Prince vs. MICHAEL JACKSON party in the hopes of meeting a sister like her. And don’t be afraid of a woman with an expansive vocabulary, on the low, most of them are the freakiest chicks in the game.
This cat MEKA SOUL is one of the dudes I have to compete with for daily drops at a Hip-Hop site, but I like his style because it reminds me of me. With all of these new bloggers coming up in the game it’s hard to remain the top site for Hip-Hop news and views. Give ByronCrawford.com credit for remaining relevant after all of these years.
Speaking of newjacks, I FUX is getting his blog grizzly together. Note to I FUX: If I were you I would start to call those drops featuring the smoking hot models – Icandy. Nuff’ said.
Lastly, but not least, H8TORADE is that shit
