Day 4 – and probably the final day – of J Dilla Appreciation Week. Word to Slum Village, Dilla’s former group and a criminally slept-on hip-hop collective based out of Detroit: It’s hard to put into words my appreciation for the music of Slum Village, particularly Dilla. I don’t want this post or this series to come [...] Day 2 of J Dilla Appreciation Week. And Posdnuos murders his third verse: Yo, it’s about love for cars, love for funds Enjoy the rest: A few years ago Kelley L. Carter, formerly of [...] First, I should shout-out the dude on Urban Dictionary who already said this better than I can: One of the greatest Mc’s of all time.

He’s always been nice, but he’s much easier on the ears now as his flow has gotten more economical. [...] With all due respect to Jeff Chang and Wayne Marshall, their argument about the impure motives of Ben Scheffer, the journalist-cum-attorney who wrote that Slate piece exposing the Roxanne Shanté thing as a sham, is kind of a reach. But what of her education? Sheffner makes a big point of alleging Shante did not receive her [...] Dr. Jerome Clark, the medical director for the Long Island Railroad, spits 16 on preventing H1N1 infection. |
