I just got my asymmetrical haircut and I need something to listen to while I tune my fixie (wow that was a poor effort...).

Well as I hinted at, I have high hopes for Coldchain (they say he's working with Premo)... I wouldn't say that anything terribly good came out this year. Even the ABN album only had about 5 really good songs. The "not very hip-hop" argument - well for example, I spend a lot of time in Whole Foods, so I would be interested in music about Whole Foods, but I don't think I'd listen to a rapper rap about Whole Foods. It's just not very hip-hop. Cappuccino is a good song, but I'm not really interested in hearing much more in that vein. “Not to be a blatant asshole, but what exactly do you all like?”

To complain that's it's an Ice Cream rip-off is kind of missing the point. It's philosophically completely opposite of that song. It's about not getting any pussy.

Douglas: Crooked I isn't in there because he refused to return three of my e-mails asking him to participate in the piece. An obviously very savvy PR move on his part.
