XXL Magazine Describes Unkut
I didn’t pay much attention to XXL’s Top 100 Best Hip-Hop Websites when I initially saw it in list form, but now that they’ve posted a version with descriptions of each site I thought I’d cast a quick glance over it. In the two minutes it took an intern to skim through Unkut Dot Com, [...]

Track:Girls Ain't Nothin But Trouble

It’s time to admit to yourselves (and the rest of the world) that you might have bought some bad hip-hop records at some stage in your life, and maybe…just maybe…you kinda liked some of them. Obviously you can’t admit that kind of shit to your friends and [...]

Hard White – The New NWA?

Artist:Hard White
Far Rockaway, Queens doesn’t have the most distinguished rap legacy so far, unless you consider Father MC to be one of the best ever. Turns out that there’s a crew out there called Hard White who are dropping some seriously anti-social, ignorant rap shit – just the way we like it here at Unkut Dot [...]

So it’s that time of year again, when I try to remember all the albums that I listened to more than once and didn’t hate so that I can order them on vinyl…thing is, this year it seems like no one bothered to actually release anything on 33 1/3. As you’d expect, Year Round supported [...]

Track:Lung Collapsing
It’s time to admit the awful truth – I wasted many years of my life as a lyrics nerd.

Sure, I appreciated the genius of Willie D’s Shout Rap and enjoyed [...]
