Bonus Post #6

Today's bonus isn't another review - it's a national holiday and I'm busy trying to avoid the site. But I wanted to leave you two with something else to hopefully enjoy. RandoMax Mix #1 I'm still playing around with this Mixcloud stuff, so my thoughts are subject to change, but right now I feel like it may be the best way for me to explore different avenues musically without having to

Philly's Most Wanted - Get Down or Lay Down (August 7, 2001)

Bonus Post #5

That last review sucked. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. There was just no reason for that album to even exist in the first place. So for today's bonus, let's look to somebody else within the Gang Starr Foundation... or, at least, someone who was once a part of the inner circle before everything went sideways.

Hopefully you haven't been too disappointed with the albums chosen for review thus far, and if that describes you, well, there may not be any pleasing you.

My Gut Reaction: Keith Murray - Intellectual Violence (April 22, 2008)

Erick Sermon - Music (October 30, 2001)

Bonus Post #2

I feel that previous post was written in a more meandering manner than I would have liked, running through multiple historical facts that you two have already known for years in an effort to bulk up the word count. I'm fully aware, you guys. Sometimes that's how these things go. But I'm going to try to counteract that by being much more lean here. And as for those "historical facts" - here's
