Immediately catapulted into my Top 5 of all-time from the Northwest. I'm extremely impressed with the production on this album, especially b/c it's not any new names but rather names that we're familiar with like BG Church, Rocafella & Kuddie Mak, that are getting BETTER. The level of...

Thought it'd be interesting to see just how big people think these first 2 weeks will prove to be as the season plays out.

The Pre-Season is OVER, time for the real thing. No real shockers with the cuts, partially b/c their job was made easier by the 1 game suspensions to Bernard and Babineaux. Justin Forsett made the squad, David "The Heater" Hawthorne made the squad, I was very happy to see those two guys. It...

I was listening to the Choose Up compilation last night and came across a track I'd been sleeping on big time, it's called "The Pledge" and it's by Rico Sess. I don't know anything about this guy, what's up with him? He is a local guy right, what part of the metro area is he coming out of...

It's going to feel weird playing it in the South when it's 100 degrees out. When I lived in Seattle or the Midwest itself, I'd always just play all Midwest / Northwest music most of the winter b/c the style fit so perfectly, it was great cold weather music. But something tells me even it's...

Thanks for shipping it so quickly, I appreciate it. Hope it gets down here on Monday, wasn't here today. I've never lived in NW Indiana but the music that's come out of there has just made me fall in love with the whole area. Riding the train from South Bend to Chicago and rolling through a...

Awesome awesome track, I bought the album before I listened to anything else. That click and especially that general region can just be counted on to keep making quality adrenaline music. That track GOES, can't wait to get that album in my mailbox.

For those of us who are fans of the 2nd most accomplished team in the NFC out of 16 since the year 2003 (I put the Giants above us for their accomplishment this past season). I point this out b/c NEVER EVER take this stuff for granted. The playoff streak will come to an end at some point...

I've had this album for about a month now, but during that time my job has COMPLETELY taken over my life, to a greater extent than it ever has before. I hadn't even had a chance to really get to know the music to the degree I should before writing about it. Well I finally was able to give a...

For all the Bay Area folks who got on me for saying that two years ago (calling me a racist among other things), the dude just pleaded guilty to a hit & run out in Buffalo. He hit a lady driving through an intersection and drove off. Why is this not exactly a nominee for the shocker of the week?

You know this, the MILTOWN left a mark on me. I love that place despite the astronomical racial problems. I am rooting for the Brewers to win that NL Central. I don't know if I ever told you this, but I was in the MIL to work for the Brewers. There was a guy (a black dude) in that office...

Milwaukee, very tough inner city, tougher than most. Arguably the most impoverished (and then by near default, the most a lot of other things as well) African American population of any major city. North of Wisconsin Ave, West of 60th, East of I-43 and south of Mill Road, be careful.

Holy crap these guys were monsters, just look at most of those scores! Domination. Obviously a better single year than anybody in the Pac-10 has had since other than USC, but come to think of it, I don't know that any of USC's recent great teams were as good as this one (just judging from the...

I don't know a huge amount about these guys, but I knew enough to just buy their album at ARS w/out listening to it (plus they have some nice production features from Seattle beatmakers like Vitamin-D and Jake One & Kuddie Mak). It is a very solid album, the best I've heard out of Seattle in...

This album is available at ARS Music in Rainier Beach. If you liked his last album, you should own this one. I will tell you right now (and you'll see how I grade it out) that it's not as good as "Hello World," w/ the simple reason being the production isn't as good. Still, there are some...

I'm personally crossing my fingers for Seattle @ Dallas being before December 1st, Philly @ Dallas being before December 1st (college friend huge Philly fan), Seattle @ San Francisco being in early-mid December (catch it on my drive back up to Seattle), and of course, a couple of the tougher...

Excellent moves, I am shocked that Trufant was willing to sign for that, in 2007 he was a superior player to Clements, Hall and Samuel, all of whom will be making more $ than Tru. He clearly gave the Seahawks a home town discount, what a guy. There definitely is a subtle advantage in getting...

Just moved to DFW, the overwhelming majority of the rap in Texas seems to come from Houston, but I know there's talent here, hell there's over 5 million people here. Two questions: 01) Any hot must have albums from DFW? I'm talking more contemporary rather than some classic 90s sounding...

21 HOT INTROS & 12 BANGING BEATS All from the Phil Jackson of Seattle, Mr. D-Sane Mr. D-Sane "King of the Intro" (D/L at yousendit)

I'm putting together a little personal compilation of all the D-Sane intros over the years, this is the list I've been able to come up with, I am wondering if I am missing anything: 01) A-Train "Tha Train Stops here" intro 02) Byrdie "Poetic Epidemic" intro 03) Byrdie "SLR Sampler" Byrdie bio...
