    c’mon y’all; To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick (2015)

    HarveyCanal said:Also, I see many parallels to D'Angelo's album. I very much like Black Messiah and To Pimp a Butterfly as companions to each other. There is a common aesthetic out there that serious soul-minded artists are trying their darnedest to attain. And they haven't quite reached it yet...

    Dallas Trolls Say Their Hip-Hop Is Better Than Houston's

    Just out of curiosity...who from Dallas is really making waves in the world of Hip Hop? We know about the ties that DOC and P.E.A.C.E have with the Dallas, but has there really been anyone else that made that much of an impact. Even with my time spent in Texas, I can only recall a few...

    While recognizing that FIFA treats refs similar to the Pope (infallibility), I would still love to see the FA incorporate similar retroactive punishment/fines for those who go overboard in their diving...

    I am obviously hanging out with the wrong lesbians!!! -I kid of course....kinda I will admit that the lesbians I usually come into contact with do always seem to be much more "open to sexual experimentation", but very few seem to have a strong interest to philander with men...

    Je Suis Charlie

    J i m s t e r said:It appears 2000 dead Nigerians don't seem to serve a political agenda in the West, so the reporting is of the tumbleweed nature in the mainstream outlets. I read the bit about them sending a 10-year old girl into a crowd with a suicide vest on and remotely triggering it...

    latte' pass --- The Jack Moves (waxpo related)

    I've long given up on being on the cusp of new music, but I am mightily impressed by this song/group that I just found out about a few days ago. Apparently they've been in my local area for the past few years, but I have totally missed them. I don't know much about their catalog, so I'm not...

    does the strut give a damn that d'angelo is back?

    After getting constant play for the first week +, it's been on the shelf for me -- I still give it a spin from time-to-time, but it's been at least a week or so since my last listen. Still a solid listen and, considering circumstances of his career, a very enjoyable record for his fans from way...

    NYPD protest De Blasio at Wenjian Liu funeral

    Sween said:JectWon said:edith head said: Please enlighten me. Did all of this hate towards De Blasio really just stem from him publicly admitting his sympathy with Eric Garner supporters & saying on record that he had a talk with his (black) son to tread lightly if he ever had a...

    NYPD protest De Blasio at Wenjian Liu funeral

    I'd be very surprised if De Blasio was pushing for additional police effort on low-level crimes (like selling loosies) to increase tax revenue. He seems to be (at least based on the marijuana position) astutely aware that there is a very real opportunity cost when we enforce small-time...

    HarveyCanal said:Going to see Run the Jewels tonight here in Austin. have fun dude. Although always a fan, Killer Mike has arguably become one of my favorite rappers in the past few years, and I really think he works well with El-P's production (which to be honest, I was never the...

    Ebola

    I know it's a pipe dream, but it would be good to hear a more nuanced view from the media about how this disease is actually/often transmitted. Originally all the American media outlets suggested that it transferred only with direct bodily fluids (e.g. contact to blood, feces,etc.)...

    Time is Illmatic

    ^bump^ rented this movie last night -- i enjoyed it. It was nothing really mind blowing, as far as "new" details or facts about the album, but it was fun enough to see some old footage and get some more color on his upbringing, etc. Must say, I still am pretty awestruck that...

    TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

    While hearing of the UTD loss did fill me with the joy that is usually only filled by a John Terry own goal, I still suspect that they will be in the hunt for a top four spot when the season is over. Like Pool from last year, UTD will score more goals then their opposition more times than not...
