Decent source for hip hop and political commentary.

This place is one of the funnier mixes of subjects I've ever seen for a blog. Decent at both though.

1. Terror Squad - Lean Back (SRC)
2. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out (Domino/Epic)
3. T.I. - Bring Em Out (Atlantic/Grand Hustle)
4. Jadakiss - Why? (Ruff Ryders/Interscope)
5. Nas feat. Olu Dara - Bridging the Gap (Sony/Columbia)
6. N*E*R*D feat. Common, Mos Def, De La Soul & Q-tip - She Wants to Move (remix) (Virgin)
7. Trina feat. Pharrell - Put It On Top (Slip-N-Slide)
8. M.I.A. - Galang (Showbiz/XL)
9. Akon feat. Styles P - Locked Up (remix) (SRC)
10. Ruste Juxx - Short'ee (Trub-Life)

I've cross-referenced his favorite list and highlighted the wack shit.

How can you not like T.I or the lox? Yea Q-tip sucks

The new T.I. looks like a Jay-Z video deteriorating due to lack of funds. And the LOX hasn't made any good releases since like, Ruff Ryders Vol. 1.

Eh. You're not Southern. You're also a New York resident. Therefore your preferred form of locomotion is probably the subway (logically) so you have not yet been exposed to the fun that is cranking T.I. while riding in the car.

The blogger is fairly mainstream at times but does put up some stuff I like. Those two Lil Jon links recently were especially fun.

Were you in the one DMX video, Warriorbird?

You look like either a rapper or someone from the video, one of his boys, I can't remember.

I actually like th enew T.I album and you're obviously high when concerning the lox

[Warriorbird]

Nah. Never been in any music related thing except faintly in the background of one Dave Matthews concert video.

Overplayed or no, "Why" was actually a darn good song. The remix too. Jadakiss's little laugh is annoying, but he put together a pretty decent album this time.

Kiss the game goodbye will probably be Jadakiss' epitome. The new "Why" seems like another verses of glued together political agendas infused by higher forces to promote record sales to the liberal youth.

Eh. I don't object to folks going for money if it results in decent music. Similar disagreement I have with rht, sometimes.
