I've never been a huge fan of Slick Rick and I've never been a huge fan of Murphy's Law. But when you put them on the same stage in Brooklyn then suddenly I'm really into both. This is an unusual lineup that is going to be one hell of a show. Tickets are on sale now! Link: Slick Rick & Murphy's Law MP3: Behind Bars - Slick Rick Frump>
Hello, internetz! We laid low for a few weeks without warning and for that we're very sorriez. The good news is we're back and aiming to be harder, better, faster, stronger—awesomer. There's a fancy site redesign around the corner that I hoped to unveil this week but it just ain't happenin' and the great music is piling up. So, let's get to it! I scratched my temple for an appropriate song to accompany this post. Instead, of telling you to listen to 'Forgot about Dre' and asking you to mentally replace each "Dre" with "Missingtoof", I'll leave you [...]

Partially inspired by that last Marco Polo Radar post, I wanted to take a sec and lay it down for Large Professor. This man is NICE on the production tip, always has been. I've always been partial to his remixes (which always make me grab records), but he's also got some landmark production credits [...]
spent the weekend in michigan for a wedding & on the way home yesterday i was browsing through this weekend's issue of the reader & noticed that i missed a lot more going on in chicago than i thought... i knew aesop rock was playing the metro on thursday & rilo kiley were at the riv on saturday, but there were also some weekend performances that caught me by surprise... erykah badu was at crobar thursday night (crobar?), friday night saw bill callahan at the lakeshore theater, [...]
Back in the days when we were teenagers (before we had status, before we had pagers) we got our kicks reading the short-lived hip-hop 'zine Fat Lace. With features on crap graf and ugly rappers it was the UK's answer to Ego Trip. It was silly, sarcastic and pretty autistic in its nerdy dissection of rap music minutia.

As promised in yesterday's post, expect analysis in the next few days of what rappers came up big in the Internet straw poll and who got what Erick Sermon would charitably describe as "the bozack." In the first installment, I present t he 10 Greatest Rappers to not have an album make the Top 25 List and my theories why they didn't make the cut. Also be sure to check Straight Bangin' for his own take on the data. 10. Eminem (Highest Ranking Album: #59 [...]

Slick Rick - "I Own America Pt. 1" Dana Dane, "Delancey Street" 12" (Profile 1987) Next stop Delancey Street, step lively an uh, watch the closing doors. Bing , bong. Dana Dane - "Delancey Street"
I'm not going to knock Diddy for this one. If I was standing next to Jessica Biel, I'd probably gaze at her golden globes too. Well done Diddy! What a great segue into another Old School Friday! Schooly D: Am I Black Enough for You? (mp3) - from 1989's album of the same name , this was Schoolly D's fourth release. With songs like "Black", "Black Is...", "Education of a Black Man", "Black Education", "Black Jesus", and "Black Power", um, yeah, I'd call it afrocentric. [...]
End of Year Cleanup Part 2: This post has been collecting dust in my draft box since April. It's about time I unleashed it. In between deportations Slick Rick managed to sneak in a show at Nokia Theatre on April 22nd. While his performance wasn't earth shattering it was still entertaining to see the Ruler do his thing. Over the last few months I've had the pleasure of seeing a few classic hip-hop acts. Unlike Rakim who gave the audience a sense that he had something left in the tank, [...]
Happy Halloween, everyone. I'm celebrating in Chiloquin, OR, which is a little confusing, as every day is sort of like Halloween around here. Email me if you need help with your Crystal Meth Seth costume. But it looks like the townsmen did arrange for a nice Trick-Or-Treat table to be set up across from the landmark Shell station, Chiloquin's undisputed cultural focal point. The kid-friendly exhibit is skirted with a large, yellow banner that reads, "Jesus Loves You." What a relief. I actually did have a pretty exciting day [...]
Rapper Slick Rick's long-running immigration battle seems to be nearing an unfortunate end. A quick run-down: In 1990, after shooting his cousin and a bystander, the British-born Rick (née Ricky Walters) was convicted of attempted-murder charges; after serving jail time, he was nearly deported, but a U.S. judge decided to let him stay in the country. Then he hit the cruise-ship circuit, and all hell broke loose: Walters, now 41, resumed his musical career and avoided trouble. But in June 2002, he was arrested by INS agents after returning to Miami from a weeklong Caribbean cruise where [...]
