"Far from a brand-new kid to showbiz/trying to hold on maintain my focus."
about 4 years ago

I'm glad that The Roots (Questlove) listen to their (his) fans. With that being said, I am a major fan of The Roots, and I want more Black Thought, and less features. I bought the new album, and it's just too cluttered. I really like "I will not apologize." but if Black Thought would have had all three verses to himself... I remember when Game Theory was coming out there was a lot of BS about B...

Debate: Ranking Jay-Z's catalouge
about 4 years ago

I am really interested in seeing people's opinion on this. 1. Reasonable Doubt"I'm smooth but deadly like a pearl- handled pistol." That has to be one of the greatest rap lyrics of all-time. I pick this one as my favorite, because there is genius on every song. The lyrics are incredible and the production is amazing. It's a flawless album. 2. The BlueprintI give this album the heads up over AG for

Why in hell do The Roots not have a Mog Artist page? How do I create one?

Save the Mixtape!
almost 5 years ago

After checking my e-mail, espn.com, and okayplayer.com, I'm checking for new mixtapes(and I do it at least four times aday.) Hip-Hop mixtapes have taken over my iPod, and there is a lot more gun shots, and shout outs from DJs, than swooning from Chris Martin (Can't wait for that new Coldplay album.)Eventhough I am big fan of them, I am starting to find problems with mixtapes.The pros first: I l...

Anticipating Graduation. post-worthy response to watchbatteries maybe grad school before good ass job
almost 5 years ago

Before I rant, I must say that many people have expressed distaste for "Can't Tell Me Nothing,," so you are not alone, but the rest of your argument really hurt my feelings. I found two errors in your post: Kanye West produced one song on Lupe's debut, and the project was not on GOOD, it was released on 1st and 15th/Atlantic. I'm not sure about this, but I really don't think that West lifted the b

The Roots at Bonnaroo
almost 5 years ago

I'm currently watching the very thing that brings a feeling like no other. Pure joy, excitement, and inspiration from sticks, strings, horns, and clever rhymes- the music of The Roots. Thanks to the generous people at AT&T, Bonnaroo is being streamed live, and I'm able to relive a moment that was one of the best of my life. Early Spring, the Roots came to New Orleans' House of Blues, and I thought

Hip-Hop is Dead?
almost 5 years ago

It's funny how Nas' album "Hip-Hop is Dead" created such a stir in the beginning of 2007, even though the demise of the genre has been questioned for years. (Check Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek's Reflection Eternal). Hip-Hop never died. It grew, reproduced and its children picked up the mic. I think that spotlight of Hip-Hop has shifted from the mecca of New York to the 'hoods of the south, and the rap ...
