For some reason that escapes me (other than the fact that it's awesome) EPMD's Business As Usual ended up on the iPhone one day last week, and as it helped me get through one of my oh-so-long workdays last week, I re-discovered my love for that album. Sure, Rampage is one of my all-time favorite songs, and Gold Digger was a hit before Kanye decided to re-visit it, but songs like Hardcore , Manslaughter , Rap Is Outta Control , Brothers on My Jock , Funky Piano , and [...]
So I was out at a Haiti benefit Sunday night pretty randomly. Fun was had. Don't believe me? Check out the picture of me looking like a complete ass. George actually submitted it to This Is Photo Bomb , so I assume there's a bit of teh funnay involved. Anyhow, there were a slew of DJs involved in this benefit. The next to last one I remember was playing a ton of old school - or as some call it, the Golden Age - hip-hop. So today's post is going to be filled with happy thoughts of [...]
Well, as per usual, Sunday night found me rooting around for something to inspire today's OSM. I didn't have to look far, as last week's final post on the hill was an edition of BOX! that features a new collabo between legendary MC's Master Ace and Ed O.G. I knew I'd posted some Ace before, but a quick search with the Google turned up no Ed O. and so it was a done deal. And it was a done deal for a couple of reasons: 1. His debut album, Life of a Kid [...]
I'm taking things in a trashy mag-like direction today. That's right... for one day only, GOMWB is turning into a hip hop version of Heat . The reason for the treason? The Nasir 'Nasty Nas' Jones vs. Kelis 'Milkshake' Rodgers divorce saga, which took another twist on Thursday. Hearts were broken when hip hop's Prince Charming and Cinderella (or Posh and Becks... okay, Peter Andre and Jordan) announced they were splitting earlier this year. Divorce is never nice, but this bad news was further complicated by the [...]
So tomorrow is Valentine's Day, which is great. A little message for the fellas reading, in case they get, er, caught out a few weeks later... Ed OG & Da Bulldogs - Be A Father To Your Child * **PS what is it with the early/mid '90s? The days when men were so castrated they called themselves 'dog' or 'dawg' but still made wimpering hip hop like this? I love the sample and everything, but this track was such an obvious attempt for Ed and his 'dogs' to get some next [...]
