It's been a long year. Scratch that, it's been a veeerrrry long year. From social revolutions to the end of our occupation of Iraq, from the death of celebrities and dictators to a man who sneezes bullets and the mystery of planking, the world experienced a slew of emotions and all sorts of cultural and political upheaval in 2011. And that's not even counting the plethora of music news that had the blogosphere abuzz this year . So, as the question begs, what comes next? Well, 2012. If you were to believe certain [...]
NOT 2011 RELATED: Some Music I Listened To A lot This Year, That Did Not Come Out This Year. Please note: This list is neither comprehensive nor complete. Also, I listen to music based on album covers and band names. Just kidding. Fuck everyone, like whatever you like, and die happy. Evenings - North Dorm Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die oOoOO - oOoOO [...]
The Top on this list was rotated a lot before I reached a definite conclusion. There are even some which I had to leave out cause I doubt that anyone wanted to read about 20 albums. So yeah here are my favorite albums this year. 2011 Top Ten Albums of the Year: [...]

Prince Paul Prince Paul didn’t just expand the definition of what hip-hop could and should sound like – he took the Hip-Hop dictionary tore it up and then recorded a skit about it. Whether playing as part of a live band (Stetsasonic), sampling hippie-rock and french-language instructional records (De La Soul), accidentally inventing Horrorcore (The Gravediggaz) or recording a collection [...]
DJ Quik Heavy Mr Big Stuff Peep the brand new, that’s right, brand new DJ Quik jam, written as a tribute to Heavy D. Jeff Weiss of Passion of the Weiss , (and just recently Pitchfork) said it best: “David Blake dropping the most elegiac tribute to Heavy D yet. The fact that Quik cooked this up in a night or two would be mind blowing if it was anyone but Quik. In his 41st year, his chop game stays soulful and [...]

Quik's dedication to Heavy D. [See post to listen to audio] DOWNLOAD : DJ Quik - Heavy Mr. Big Stuff
David Blake dropping the most elegiac tribute to Heavy D yet. The fact that Quik cooked this up in a night or two would be mind blowing if it was anyone but Quik. In his 41st year, his chop game stays soulful and vicious. Between Quik and Ish from Shabazz Palaces, he has shredded all lingering axioms about rap strictly being a young man's game. In one minute of rapping, Quik highlights everything that made Waterbed Kev so unique and delivers his words with the requisite mournful fury this sort of thing requires. R.I.P. once more to the overweight lover. [...]
