Lupe Fiasco – Enemy of the State: A Love Story (mixtape)
Is it just me, or is Lupe Fiasco starting to put together a solid hip-hop resume right before our eyes? Full-lengths followed by mixtapes followed by cameos, and all, well, good. Damn good. I would concede that his first few offerings might have given off the impression that the dude...
Clipse – Til the Casket Drops
I can’t stop thinking about “The Wire” when I listen to this album. For fans of the HBO series, that statement should make you pretty horny. For those of you who are clearly living a less-than-fulfilled existence, I won’t go into any parallels as I’m sure this type of shit’s...
Felt 3 – A Tribute to Rosie Perez
The holiday season is a total boner shrinker. The obligations, expectations and shitty music are almost inescapable. The full-penetration advertising raw-dog’s your senses into spending money here, charging it there; and has somehow convinces us that we’re supposed to give a fuck about “Black Friday”. Fuck the holidays. The only...
BlakRoc
This album is really goddamn good. There’s a good deal of hype, sure, but with the internet and everything being all “viral” and shit, its impossible to assemble the type of personnel found on this album without some internet buzz and lofty expectations. But the Damon Dash project made up...
Gift of Gab – Escape 2 Mars
There’s something beautiful and incomprehensible about experiencing someone as they put the mastery of their craft out on display. Like literally, as hard as you try to figure the shit out; you can’t help but find yourself in awe, ignoring your own logic and reason, staring, like a guy on...
Dizzee Rascal – Tongue N’ Cheek
Quick psychological study: think about yourself when you were 18-years-old; now think about yourself now. Scary right? My first thoughts, in no particular order are, ‘dude, you need to say sorry for that’, ‘do you think this is making your grandparents proud?’ and ‘what a goddamn shitbag’. I do not...

Q-Tip – Kamaal the Abstract
This album sucked. No need to bury the lead with meandering personal stories or comparisons that may or may not work. After seeing Q-Tip live I was fairly excited to see Kamaal The Abstract just released. Looking back now, I gotta ask myself why? I mean, the obvious answer is...
