This is the result of Mom “accidentally” locking me in the basement for four days with nothing but a pack of Funyuns and a can of Arizona Ice Tea. No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Secret Men’s Business

That Shit I Don’t Like: Freestyle Fellowship – Innercity Griots
If there is one thing that really pisses me off, it’s pretentious Coffee Shop Art Rap. This album was released during the height of the “experimental” LA hip-hop movement, which gave us high-pitched whiny efforts such as The Pharcyde and The Wascals (who were just a shittier version of the former). I guess we should…

Tim Dog Found Alive And Well?
In news that shouldn’t be particularly surprising to anybody who watched the extensive Dateline report on Tim Dog‘s numerous “bad business deals” with a series of lonely ladies he met through internets dating, one of his “rubes” is so thirsty to get her $100 a month repayment plan continued by Timothy that she’s hired a…

The Conservative Rap Coalition – 2013 Agenda
Logo designed by Tony Bones / The Home Office. Much has happened since our last meeting. Those of you who couldn’t afford the original Platinum membership packs have requested other options to show your support, and the landscape has shifted somewhat. Hipster Rap ate itself in a blur of day-glo, but new enemies have emerged…
No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Worst. Show. Ever.
I made the mistake of seeing the Ultramagnetic MC’s 25 years too late. This is what happened as a result: The age-old saying that you should never meet your heroes proved to be a bitter, brutal truth last weekend. News that the legendary Bronx Bombers themselves, Ultramagnetic MCs, were touring in honour of the 25th…
