Pharoahe Monch – W.A.R. (We Are Renegades)
Everything in moderation your mom said. Candy, Mountain Dew, Television, even vegetables; crazy fucking concept. You finally appreciated how right your mom was that first time you got way too drunk at the party and spent the wee hours of the night hugging the toilet bowl in the guest bathroom...
Lupe Fiasco – Lasers
There’s so many ways to say it, so many analogies to make and comparisons to…compare, but let’s not mix words; Lasers is kind of a disappointment. Everything was on an epic “one of the greatest” type of timelines for Lupe Fiasco. Food & Liquor was fully legit and considerably underrated,...
Saigon – The Greatest Story Nevery Told

Big L – Return of the Devils Son
Big L is your favorite MC’s favorite MC. Of course, I don’t know that, but I know it. Even if he isn’t, he just is. He’s a motherfucking paradox wrapped in an enigma. His unrefined style is so brazenly thrown in your face you can’t possibly doubt his authenticity and...
Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Fucking Kanye. America loves on you so hard. It’s so fucking obvious and pathetic. Oh, there are those who say they hate you sooo much for what you did to that poor, poor, ridiculously famous, stupidly rich and hateably cute blonde girl. There are those who quote stupid South Park...
