Rounding of the look at songs going at Kool Moe Dee is impossible without the contributions of LL Cool J. For anyone not familiar with this epic war of words, Moe took shots at LL for what he saw as biting his style. Not only did he attack LL verbally, but his album cover spelled…
Large Pro – Not A Big TV Fan
Ya man Paul Juice really doesn’t dig the ol’ idiot box much, as he dedicated the better part of two vaulted tracks to vent on the boob tube. Bad things that television might make you do, according to the Large Professor: 1. Wonder if Theo got good grades. 2. Discover who’s the next millionaire to…
Dr. Butcher Could Care Less About Run-DMC
Last December I was lucky enough to speak to Dr. Butcher for a couple hours, and he blessed me with some amazing stories about everything from his work to Kool G Rap, Akinyele and MF Grimm, plus a whole lot of shit I didn’t even know he was involved in. I’m not quite ready to…
Pete Rock – NY’s Finest Review
In some ways, the latest Pete Rock project is more of that same old timeless PR sound, but the thing that sets it apart this time around is the varied line-up of guests on board to lend vocal assists. While both of the Soul Survivor LP’s (and even Petestrumentals to a lesser extent) gave us…
B-Boy Records: The Archives – Album Review
You can’t go wrong with this compilation, since even if you own most of the B-Boy Records discography on 12″, it’ll save you the trouble of ripping all them shits onto your hard drive. Not only that, but the Traffic crew have mined through some of the original reels to provide us with some unheard…
Brother J Interview/X-Clan Vs BDP
Here’s one from the vaults – an interview with Brother J from the end of 2006 that was published in Modern Fix. I lost the original transcript where we discuss his production but until I get a chance to re-type it this will have to do. His comments on the BDP situation are especially interesting….
Effed-Up Movie Night – Fantastic Planet
It’s tough to pin down why this movie freaked me out when I was kid, but with it’s combination of bizarre sci-fi plot, creepy animation and acid-drenched soundtrack, Fantastic Planet is not a flick you forget in a hurry. A French animated film from 1973 (La Planète sauvage), it’s been very influential both in terms…
Joell Ortiz Interview
This is a little something I put together from my two brief interviews with Joell – one from his album release and something from a couple of months back. The way he’s going right now, 2008 is going to be another great year for dude. Robbie: You recently got an XXL cover. That’s a good…
Who Killed Fat Rap?
You may not have noticed, but there seems to be some kind of conspiracy to eliminate the “big-boned” rap star. It’s bad enough that the fast food spots are slinging salad in an attempt to halt the Subway juggernaut, but now fat rappers seem to have gone the way of the laser disc. Was it…
Percee P – The Unkut Interview
To call Percee P – the “legendary lyricist of the subterranean” – ahead of his time doesn’t even begin to do justice to his legacy. Even though Perseverance is his first album, it was nineteen years ago that he first blessed vinyl with his brain-melting rapid-fire rap style that many still haven’t caught up to…

How To Write A Critical Essay It is fundamental to ensuring that the writing company you select is legit and professional. They will need to see an example of each of these such as an essay that starts with a question or with a statistic. A narrative paper can also be a challenge to students…
Krylon, Crayon, Pen or Pencil – Kwest Tha Madd Ladd Interview
Here’s a new drop from Unkut Dot Com‘s New York correspondent Idris Intifada: After Kwest Tha Madd Ladd rhymes you’re banned from using writing utensils. Those who have heard Kwest’s lyrical prowess will agree that this penalty is just. Other rappers should stop writing and start robbing banks like Steady B. As an MC, he’s…
