Nothing worse than seeing the names of rapper’s on the back of a hip-hop album and thinking to yourself, ‘Sweet! Looking forward to hearing this dude rap on this shit!’ Then you get home and it turns out that the ‘feature’ is just the MC in question performing the hook and doing a shout-out at…

The Yeezus Pub Quiz
Written and hosted by Phillip “The Jogging Blogger” Mlynar. June 18th was a monumental date in hip-hop history — it was the day when all the Yeezus reviews came out. They involved lots of great commentary on the parameters of genius and musings about just how much of a genius Kanye West is. Unfortunately, they…
Rewind Wednesdays: Mobb Deep – The Infamous Track By Track Review
Just helped out on this piece over at Takin’ Mines: Released just a week after the one year anniversary of Nas’ Illmatic, Mobb Deep’s Loud debut, The Infamous, is nothing short of a masterpiece.

The Unkut Guide To Reloaded Food References
More Food Rap action from Phillip “Millitainment” Mlynar: Roc Marciano’s Reloaded is here! It’s a brilliant record, a shoe-in for top-spot on any sane end-of-year album poll, and, just like its predecessor Marcberg, it brims with references to food and fine dining.

Kidz In The Hall May Attempt To Sucker Punch Me In April
I seem to be having a bad run of pissing-off Double-O and Naledge from Kidz In The Hall in recent years. First I accused them of the crime of Hipster Rap, to which they responded on an UGHH.com video, and now it seems that I’ve thrown them under the bus again in my latest guest…
The Unkut Guide To Marcberg Food References
Here’s a brand new Phillip “Half-A-Mill” Mlynar sure-shot: There was only one rap album that mattered in 2010 – and it wasn’t by anyone who felt the need to show their dark twisted appendage to the world.

The ‘Lo-End Theory In The Streets…
I learned some crazy shit doing my thing in New York City over the past forty years. Basically, the world is a huge place, but the people that vibe along the same frequency is the smaller subset and y’all will always find each other. That is what used to happen at record stores when you…
