Swipe: Pitchfork – Grind to Get It – Rap’s Recession
I didn’t agree with everything, but an overall great read and thoughtful insight.
Cliff’s Notes:
In the end, hip-hop is recalibrating, from a pop sensation back into an underground movement. People are making music for specialized, dedicated audiences, knowing that these audiences probably won’t make them rich. Sometimes they’re holding down day jobs or figuring out alternate ways of making money. Touring is important. And listeners have to go deeper than the most obvious stuff, digging through various localized underground scenes to find the worthwhile stuff. Sound familiar? From certain angles, rap’s current moment doesn’t look too different from, say, indie rock circa 1985. That’s a good place to be.

HNITH: Future of Roc Nation – J. Cole
While browsing the net, I came across XXL’s cover which boasts the Top 10 Freshman in rap for 2010. On the cover stands Nipsey Hustle, OJ the Juiceman, Big Sean, and J.Cole amongst others. These were the only artists on the cover who’ve had enough buzz to reach the HNITH, but with this cover gave me inspiration for inquiry. So I hit Wikipedia, typed in J. Cole, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

H.N.I.T.H. Review: The Return – We Are YM vs. Pricele$$
Wassup everyone?
I’ve been super busy with this senior work, but thanks to a snow day tomorrow it has allowed me to catch up with my sh*t. BTW a lot changes once you get a car, I’m out every Friday and Saturday often losing hours of sleep I would normally have no questions asked.

WTF?: Donde Esta Summer Anthem?
Where is the Summer Anthem!?
The summer of two-zero-zero-nine has come & almost gone. It has been strange summer for music.
Where is the Undisputed Champ of the Clubs & Airwaves? That one song you never get tired of. You hear it 5 times a day & still don’t get totally sick of it.

Song of the Day: Tupac – Picture Me Rolling
Picture Me Rolling
Is Pac the G.O.A.T.?
Pac’s verse on this is of my favorite of all time. For me what keeps him from topping my greatest of all time list was the weak dudes in his crew and how much he let them get on songs with him.
This song would have been perfect with out the lames Syke and CPO on it.
PROPS!
