Thoughts On Drake

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I am not a Drake fan. Not even a little. Aside from fleeting moments on Forever and Over, he’s inspired in me little more than indifference. Regardless, it seems like everyone has been caught up in his hype for the last 18 months. And unlike most Hip Hop upstarts in the aughts, he’s found a […]

He’s Baaaack!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Last year at about this time, I called Eminem “the biggest waste of talent in Hip Hop today.” One year, twenty days and one track later, I’m here to apologize.
