I’ll be the first to admit: Migos isn’t exactly the style of hip-hop I tend to cover. It’s not that they’re “ignorant” rap. Party rap is needed just as much as Public Enemy-inspired tracks and Migos bars are needed in hip-hop just as much as your “real shit”—as long as there’s a balance. But, something […]
Read moreNevermind versus In Utero: A Cobain Double Play
Now, usually, when there’s an album comparison, it’s done so in a roundtable format with True as the mediator. It’s posted on DefineaRevolution.com and people applaud over how people with such distinct tastes and opinions can deliver them without setting the world afire in RAGE!™ This one is a little bit different.

Read moreNew Music – @SpeedontheBeat – "Take You There (The Throne Still Exists)"
When I set out to do Baltimore Commercial Break: From Juke Joints to Greatness, I knew that there was one commercial/track/theme/image campaign I had to (re-)touch.
