“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – Greg Anderson

You know what really grinds my gears . . .

1. People who don’t have the slightest clue about anything and care to weigh in their opinion. Go read something and then join the discussion.

2. Hollywood magazine writers who review Hip-Hop albums. Stay the fruck outta our world. You don’t belong and we’re not listening. And a big EFF YOU to Andy Kellman of Allmusic who dared to give the Wu-Massacre a 3.5/5 and call it “satisfying”. Then again, I don’t blame them for all the fast food music they’re being fed.

Detroit veteran Guilty Simpson and Cali’s own Madlib debut their collabo album, O.J. Simpson. This one was long awaited and so for those who can’t wait any longer, you can purchase the digital release from Stones Throw yet the street date is May 18. This is my sheeeit!

OJ Simpson. That’s the name of the album. No bloody gloves. No Ford Broncos. These are some 12 hard-hitting hip-hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone, and an equal number of Madlib’s signature album-as-soundtrack/radio/sideshow arrangements, where the beat & sequence is as important as the rap. This, with a couple no-nonsense guest appearances, some cuts by J.Rocc, and a whole bunch of attitude, makes up one of our favorite projects in a while.

Back in 2007 there were a series of Raekwon mixtapes hitting the streets –

The Vatican Mixtape Vol. 1
The Vatican Mixtape Vol. 2: The DaVinci Code
The Vatican Mixtape Vol. 3: House of Wax

All released by DJ Riddler aka Vinny Ponte aka Suge White. Rae continued to hook Vinny with exclusive tracks to finish the Vatican Series.

From DJ Riddler…

“Part IV is the last part of the Vatican series, it was put together bout a year ago……it was just sitting on my computer so I thought we should finally bring it out……”

After mixing and arranging the first 3, its only right that Vinny lets Boundless NY release the final Vatican for you.
