while it never really left, I had recently put this album back in rotation on my iPod. Songs still stand the test of time, but I will go on record with suggesting that the interludes "from prison" (which appear on damn near every song) can get in t…

I was a hardcore hip-hop head growing up as a kid, and in an attempt to be a defiant little punk, I almost made it a point to not like rock music. My older brother was way into college rock circa late 80's though (and then grunge), so I was well aw…

congrats t*m, really looking forward to checking this out. b/w PL70 - I've now bought more from this label in the past year than pretty much anyone else (oof / i'm old).

BUMP!! Just got back from Tulum yesterday. Such a good vacation spot, highly recommend it for those looking to take a trip in Mexico. Did the whole cenote/cave swimming thing. Checked out Tulum ruins and spent a good amount of time at the …

word to Okem. massive gooner over here. NYC Arsenal Supporters and all that. Too nervous these days to do much posting, but with that said, let me drop current dimes. first off, everyone should read this book -- "FOB" by Eddie Huang …

I preferred the volley's he did last year, but that was pretty amazing. Not really excited about him coming to Emirates next week, as I prefer my wounds not covered in salt -- but perhaps Utd can do us a favor and pretend to not care anymore…

glad to hear Boston strutters appear to be okay. Question though (and not trying to troll for political scraps here), why does there seem to be such a point on whether or not this is labeled by authorities (and specifically the President) as …

Rarely do I think of this dude much anymore, but as noted above, I still respect their (the Roots) ability to be involved with a lot of projects. Good for them. With that said, his whole vibe to me was kinda summed up with the little episode…

P-Crazy/Brian: feel free to take this to DM's if it's not appropriate, but when exactly did you start becoming so outspoken for many of these right-leaning/conservative/capitalistic positions? I assume you are the same B from Hawaii? …

what has always surprised me about the legacy of this album is how it did NOT produce a myriad of other rappers trying to keep an album tight with only a dozen-or-so songs. Time and time again I believe the best thing about this album is how concis…
-
no joke - BITD i probably actually held on to this belief for a bit. i am sure it was a result of working at a record store and seeing person after person after person buy greatest hit albums only, with what seemed like very little interest to hear…

finally got around to watching this. very nice. thanks

Chappell for me. I'd be curious to see how his style would change given all that has happened to his career over the past few years. I suspect Dave/Bob would have a similar style still. :::threadjack::: Is anyone watching Comedy Central …

People who begin work-related Instant-Message-way conversations thusly: [Them]: Hi, J*mes, how are you today? PLEASE JUST FUCKING TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. ^^^this x1000000000000000000 its work - i get it, …

Like others have already said, this album was one that I at first didn't really get/understand, then turned into an album that meant a lot to me, and now stands as a piece of my music catalog that I recall with fondness, albeit rarely do I listen to…

got my package yesterday vinyl/cd. great stuff Day!!! will be sure to DL the other tracks (on my Mac) later tonight.

ummm....how are you dudes defining a "here my dear" hip-hop album again? i thought it was the: meh/average album that gets more love for the back story than the actual music. Not sure if Pauls Boutique fits that bill, because it's pretty har…
