Aging Hip Replacement 2.0: Reunited And I Don’t Care…Or Do I?
That’s me at my high school graduation 19 1/2 years ago. I’m not sure I wanna go back and visit that guy.
Spin Cycle: Gift of Gab’s “The Next Logical Progression”
It’s a bit hard to believe that hip-hop, as a genre, is old enough for grumpy old men to number among its ranks; it’s even harder to believe that it’s been a decade since the heyday of Quannum, the collective that counted Blackalicious, Latyrx, and Pigeon John as decorated members. I remember reviewing music in 2002, the year Blackalicious’ Blazing Arrow was released; I’d become so enamored with the album that I wrote a gimmicky concept review of it in my […]

The Viewfinder: Talib Kweli’s “Distractions”
Talib Kweli has been a very busy man these days. In the past two years alone, the Brooklyn-bred emcee has recorded an album with producer partner Hi-Tek as Reflection Eternal, collaborated with outside-the-box R&B singer Res on the Idle Warship project, released his own album Gutter Rainbows, and has also played shows and recorded material with his longtime rhyme partner Mos Def (I will not embarrass myself by asking for a new Black Star album because…well, I’ve done that before.)

Spin Cycle: Phonte’s “Charity Starts At Home” // 9th Wonder’s “The Wonder Years”
In the reasonably notable absence of the classic line-up of North Carolina hip-hop trio Little Brother, we’ve been fortunate enough to hear from the individual parts; frontman Phonte made waves as one half of the critically-acclaimed Foreign Exchange, and producer 9th Wonder’s been nothing short of prolific behind the boards. And, of course, there’s Big Pooh, who’s been… well, Pooh’s been doing something, probably. There were even a couple of 9th-less Little Brother albums that totally don’t count because they’re […]
Tighten Up!: The Black Keys’ BlakRoc Project Gets A Sequel
True confession: I only became a Black Keys fan with the release and eventual success of last year’s Brothers. I was so much a fan of the Akron, Ohio’s breakthrough release that I went back and bought everything they’d released previously, collectively and individually. Of course, Brothers was not the album with which I became aware of The Black Keys. It wasn’t even the first album I’d purchased that featured their involvement. That would be the Blakroc project–an album that […]
