I don't know who the writer is, but that review kinda encapsulates everything that is awkward and uneasy about the Tribune's hip-hop coverage, where the "general sense of the locale's best rap music" lies down with the "banger." Some Tribune writer once described a weird parking method--like, dude took up three spaces and employed lawn chairs and handwritten signs and shit (locals will recognize this as "dibs")--as a "hip-hop park job." Growing pains like Kirk Cameron over by there, I'm telling you.
Irregardless, congratulations to Misters Mention, Cause and Hogg.
...
p.s. - Even if it's not for serious, the phrase "Chicago Record Mafia" is irredeemably wack, encompassing as it does a level of self-regard sufficient to get one cited for Conduct Unbecoming a Midwesterner. Please cease and desist.

This shit. Do they do this in any other city?
You would be murdered if you tried that in SF. And your killer would be pardoned.
Forgot the crucial element: SNOW. There is no snow in San Francisco, thus no digging your car out of a four-foot snow bank.
This is the truth - while I've never tried driving in the chi, after snowstorms here dudes will park their cars at 45 degree angles from the curb so as to be able to get back out of the space when they leave
Although there are plenty of old Jewish and Italian men who are known to park across two or three spaces "so's that some friggin moolie won't scratch my paint."

In philly and especially manayunk people get crazy protecting their parking spots. Many fights and extream acts of violence have been carried out over a parking spot in manayunk after a snow storm.
I had a guy try to fight my car once because he was standing in a space, waiting for the car to come back around the block. I started backing into the space, and he charged my car. I really had half a mind to keep backing up!
This guy was, predictably, of the following variety:

People in Philly literally kill each other for spots.I remember an incident where dude shot and killed someone over a parking spot in SW Philly.

We live real close to a stadium, and in cricket/AFL season's there is no way anybody is gonna get street parking in front of our place. We tried putting wheelie bins (stateside strutters see below) in the space so friends could actually get to our house, but people just moved them.
So my brother and i did the same thing, but this time we hid in the bins, and when people went to move them we jumped out baraging them with accusations. It was funny until my brother got punched in the face by like a 60 year old man, and some bitch rammed my bin with a Barina. Man i wish we got that shit on tape.

CAN YOU HANG WITH THE GANG?

It would be the one thing every single person in the city would be in total agreement about.

-- I've seen dudes use boxes, chairs, ladders, bottles, lamps,
milk crates, tires and much other flotsam to "reserve" their space.
-- The weakest shit I ever saw was somebody who put an EXTENSION CORD
down on the pavement to secure his "choice" spot on Greenview.
-- Weak reaches its zenith when the snow has completely melted
and dude's are STILL MARKING THE SPOTS.
We had a mini-van vandalized by some chump one winter when I parked in a
cleared-out, but unmarked, spot on my block. Lovely.
A couple years ago, someone got shot in Chicago after they took a "reserved" spot.
The Tribune has horrible hip-hop coverage. It's gotten a little better. But it's still terrible.

and to seal the fate, mayor daley actually sanctions this activity.
