Wow, last time I listened to Street Sounds it was sure now a show that would have OME on it.

Re: anyone got Siah & Yeshua's 'A Day Like Any Other'?
I was excited and wanted to care, but then I heard the song. He's not bad on it, but as a huge fan of Siah and Yesh it did nothing for me.Versive wrote:Seriously, nobody cares about Yeshua's first verse in like a decade?

Re: RIP XXL
Townsquare took over a Comics site I enjoy- Comics Alliance - and seems to have given them a lot of freedom to do their thing. Might not be bad news for XXL content wise. I assume you have to serve fewer ad masters being online than in print.

Re: how hip-hop are you? (part 4)
5/10, but only felt confident in like 2 of those and the rest is just guessing.
Since I started buying CDs I never remember the track number for anything, after the first 5 or so listens it's just all on random.

Re: how hip-hop are you? (part 2 now added)
this is hip-hop, not world events, isn't it all trivial shit? Part of it is the "are you hip-hop" framing, which kinda implies more essential knowledge than random facts.

Re: how hip-hop are you? (part 2 now added)
7/20, but I had to guess to some degree on all but the most obvious two and only knew the Jr one 'cause of being here, could have super easily been way worse.
I don't think I appreciated how little attention I paid to production credits in the 90s.

Re: how hip-hop are you?
6/20 here as well. Only a few questions I kinda felt bad about not knowing. It's a fun quiz, but most of this stuff is way more minutia than essential knowledge.

Re: Copywrite goes to jail and puts out a new album.
I wouldn't go that far, but I'm always surprised by how much I tend to enjoy songs from it when they pop up. It's just so hard to separate that from and other public humiliations when the album is so full of ego.Tweak Da Leak wrote:High Exhaulted still one of the better punchline albums to ever be put out.

I was actually super let down by Double or Nothing (it's more boring than bad), but I still think being half of EMPD is enough. That's well beyond weed carrier status.

That Smile joint is nice. Y'all should at least enable the ability for people to give you money for this if they want. You would have 5 Dids Dollars.
ETA- a few more songs in. I like this, and Ardy's work specifically, a lot.

Yeah- my whole issue with AD is his delivery (or lack thereof). Lyrically the verse is fine, but I don't have much patience for a guy who is deliberately bad at rapping.

I don't love AD's verse, but that gets like 10% of his fanbase (the ones that don't already check for Mike) to listen, that's worth it, right?

Speaking of Hot 97- what do people think of Rosenberg? I've been listening to his wrestling podcast and he seems like a pretty decent funny guy, but have no sense of how he's regarded in the hip-hop community at all.
