i recall but not fondly. that dude was stupid. i remember he was introducing eric b and rakim, "microphone fiend" and he called it "microphone fRiend." come on man. i also recall when fab 5 freddy hosted Yo MTV Raps before ed lover and dr dre. AND the shit was on saturday mornings!

I didn't know what it was either 'til I read the "20 reasons" list on XXLmag.com last night.
I'm a 70's/80's baby but I wouldn't check it daily.

Dude was silly, but no sillier than Hitz or Crazy Sam.
Basicly. Except I get my hair cut (what's left of it anyway) and I love my LG 9800.
Which one is that? Is that the same as the T-Mobile MDA?
I'm in the market for a new celly cell. My shit's been broken for way too long but I keep putting it off 'cause I'm not really feelin' T-Mobile's selection. I might just say fuck it and pick up the Samsung T809.
Herm
What is this one even about?
Old heads don't go to the barbershop? I have never heard of that...
I do not brag. However, those who brag aren't really listening. Then again, I've been in silly online debates over the merit of an album. There's a lot of good music out there. How about You brag about not liking a mainstream rap album in years.
