Combat Jack really made his name via the radio show, but I’ve always had great regard for his work as blogger, back when he was a total loose cannon who had no qualms about hurting feelings. While his Daily-Math.com site has long since vanished from the internet, his original Blogspot Combat Jack With Today’s Mathematics’…

The top ten Zippyshare Records and Tapes compilations of all time
According to the stats, these are the most popular ZRAT comps so far. Spare a thought for A Salute To White Gal Rap, which did Troy Ave numbers with a mere 49 downloads to it’s credit. I recall that the original Counter Strike mixtape did around 6k, but since that wasn’t an official ZRAT release…
Video: Unkut TV Episode 24 – A Trip To The UGHH Store
What with the closure and surprise re-opening of UGHH, I thought I’d dig up this unseen footage of the time rich direction and myself visited the store while in Boston. Hopefully this guys bizarre haircut won’t hamper his search for a new job…
Signs that the rap blog you’re reading isn’t worth jack
– It regularly includes click-bait headlines such as ‘This video of ______ rapping at _____ will give you chills.’ – It’s ever posted a trailer or behind the scenes footage for an upcoming rap video. – Features that are just a collection of Tweets from rappers, under the guise of ‘Rap Twitter Reacts.’ – Entire…
Why Country Road Crew Wear is Australia’s Polo
The Australian chapter of Complex just launched last week, so I penned a little something something about the once fly gear known as Country Road for all you outfit architects. Why Country Road Crew Wear is Australia’s Polo
Stream: The Combat Jack Show – The Consequence Episode
Combat Jack kindly informed Cons that I had crowned him the Greatest Weed Carrier of All Time, and his response was fairly predictable. I can now tick off offending Consequence from my rap bucket list.
No Country For Old (Rap) Men: The Drawn-Out Demise of the Diss Record
As the WWF (World of [W]rap Fuckery) continues to flourish, I can’t help but pine for the days when rappers would make actual diss songs in between the theatrics. No Country For Old (Rap) Men: The Drawn-Out Demise of the Diss Record
The Guardian Comment Section Types The Darnedest Things: 50 Cent Edition
Andrew Emery (aka Drew Huge of Fatlace) penned a piece on 50 Cent’s recent fiscal hiccups/tactics for The Guardian this week, and as one might imagine the comment section was chock-full of outraged rap haters. The real keepers, of course, are the contributions from annoyed backpackers and Defenders Of The True School. These type of…
Byron Crawford – Kanye West: Superstar Book Review
Returning with his forth book (fifth if count the Writin’ Dirty anthology, which was just a collection of Bol’s XXL posts so I don’t), Byron Crawford blesses us with another highly entertaining and surprisingly informative summary of Kanye West, the artist and fairly fucked-up human. What’s great about Kanye West: Superstar is the attention to…

There’s a lot of talk about what rap should and shouldn’t have done, but why does it having to do anything beyond being great? No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Did We Expect Too Much From Hip-Hop?
No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Iggy Azalea – The New Classic Album Review
I really went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Iggy Azalea – The New Classic Album Review
Is This The Lowest Point In Dipset History?
Miss Info (aka Queen of the Rap Internets) reported on this basketball game between members of The Diplomats and some of the roster of Fool’s Gold Records. This isn’t exactly surprising considering that Cam’Ron and A-Trak are recording a project together (not to mention that A-Trak’s song with JR Writer, Hell Rell, & 40 Cal…
