Editorial: Can the Old School Breathe Life Into the New School?
-
Artist:
I grew up during an age when hip-hop was the dominant musical art form of my generation. These times you ask? 1994-1999. Even though today hip-hop still has a strong foothold in the industry, the recent releases by Jay-Z and Raekwon have me questioning the mortality of hip-hop music and more importantly of the art forms associated with the music. Where have all the dope deejays, graf writers an...

Album:A Retrospective-Dedicated To Scott LaRock

Track:
Saw this today, and found it to be rather amusing. An entire news special devoted to a major problem that is sweeping the land, and putting our children at risk. Drugs, sex, coffee......?

Album:A Retrospective-Dedicated To Scott LaRock

Track:
I have been seeing a lot of mash up posts on mog today, feel I had to throw in my two cents. Mostly because my bbq chicken was rained on today, and it made me a little irate. It was a sudden downburst that came out of nowhere, still wondering how my sunny skies went grey so quickly. My wife had to throw in, "Guess thats the luck of the Irish", which lead me to post this song.

(Not the ex, sillies: *KRS-One*).I really went to town with my last post... this one, I will let the man speak for himself _mostly_, first in a few tracks that I think showcase the man, myth, *_MC_* & legend. Then I will pull a *DIR...
