Can you think of a better way to start the summer? Me either. Line up!



The Lineup: June ‘11

What I can’t live without: Lyrics, lyrics and more lyrics.  For those that know me, Hip-Hop runs through the blood in my veins.  I’m also an 80’s baby which means that I come from a time where what you said in your song meant everything.  For better or for worse, it seems that crafty lyricism is no longer a priority and rappers who put serious effort into the words are becoming endangered.  Enter Eminem.  Over the last decade, I could always count on Eminem to remind me why I fell in love with Hip-Hop.  This time, he partnered with long time friend and equally talented emcee, Royce Da 5’9 to form the duo Bad Meets Evil.  Although they started recording together back in 1999, this is their first album together and it is incredible.  To make a long story short, stay close to your rewind button.
