Start Your Week Off Right



- Ghostface Killah, "Cruisin'"
He should just make an album like this--Ghost straight rapping over soul records. He has a particular gift for it.

Office Hours



I set up shop over at Both Teams Played Hard today, reviewing the Nuggets' logo as part of Jared's ongoing logo project. Check it. And check BTPH on the reg, Kenny Powers style.

On to the Next One


And you thought Jay was old when he was rhyming about coming back in the 4-5

Seriously, Jay, stop. Em ain't even murdering you on your own shit anymore; it's fucking Jeezy. Young Jeezy. Think about that. You think Big would have stuck around so that T.I. could outshine him? So that he could make tween references and belabor that he's rich and famous?

"Can't leave rap alone/The game needs me." Really? Still? Even if rap just so happens to be this boring? I think thou doth protest too much. For a dude who says he doesn't need rap, who says he has so many other ventures, you seem to need this shit, actually. And it doesn't, in fact, need you. Not even now. Not this watered-down, overworked, overwrought material that feasts on low-hanging fruit and finds offense in the innocuous.

Remember when you were going golfing back in 2003? What happened to that? That game needs you more than this one. Don't be the next contestant on that SportsCenter screen.
"We'll see what happens when I no longer exist"? When is that ever happening, even?

"Pound for pound, I'm the best to ever come around here."

No you ain't. Not with this weak-sauce Blueprint 3 shit.
