Guess you can call us the gatekeepers of the this beloved culture of Hip-Hop. On this blog, we uplift nothing but quality music. You may not agree with the opinions given here, but fortunately for us (and unfortunately for some others) we don't care! We've been called Hip-Hop snobs. But our ears have been good to us over the years. We'd rather not offend them!
Has it become obvious that I am a Lupe Fiasco fan? Here is one of my favorite jams from the summer. The video is not all that special but the song is crazy, and Gemini is a beast if just in case you haven't heard him. Enjoy my good people.
When this song came out during the summer,I couldn't stop listening to it. Although this is not an officially video, its pretty creative and worth checking out. If you don't think Lupe is the Killer something is wrong with you. And they love it...
It’s the end of the year and its time to give out my yearly awards. I think I’m going to conduct this award show annually. 2007 was year full of the unforgettable moments in music, television, sports and movies. Some of these awards are serious, while others I guess you can say I was being humorous. If you have a problem with this list then feel free to give your 2 cents.

2007 Biggest Stories
Don Imus. One man’s word sparked a conversation that could be heard all over the world. Here was a racist man who made some degrading remarks towards some beautiful women and he placed the blame on Hip-Hop. Don Imus remarks gave Hip-Hop a black eye for no reason. But this is America and he got another job. Jena 6. No Comment Needed for this. Mike Vick and the execution of dogs
