Sage Francis might be my favorite MC. That's a tough crown to hand someone, in a genre that has mattered so much to me for so long. I won't do it today (though he was the only hip hop artist to place two tracks on my 100 Best Songs of the Decade Countdown). But Sage Francis is definitely [Read Full Post...]

In all honesty, I've always been somewhat ambivalent about Sage Francis . And I'm fully prepared to admit my apathetic role in that lukewarm sentiment. Sage's stance as rapper-cum-activist is both commendable and, unfortunately, sometimes cumbersome. It's probably short-sighted and shallow to say, "It's just not my thing."
