This monster of a track was first aired on Tony Touch’s Toca Tuesdays earlier in the week. Everyone goes in, but none of them shine quite like Jay Elect. I have yet to hear him deliver a verse and not leave me stunned in awe. Instant classic. You can thank Shake for the CDQ.

The Boogie Back: Post Disco Club Jams
Released by BBE
I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed this album. Normally when I hear the word “disco” I brace myself in preparation to hear something wack.

It’s so dope to see shit like this. This behind the scenes look at Pharoahe’s contribution to the upcoming Blackroc project (Nov. 27) shows just how much care he puts into writing and recording a verse. As far as the creative process goes, he and Wayne are worlds apart.
Time is one of those MCs who acts like he doesn’t give a fuck what you think of him. His deeply analytical and introspective lyrics coupled with his total lack of regard for anything that sounds appealing gives the impression of an underground renegade. On the other hand, how many Slug clones can we put up with before enough is enough?
I will say one thing though, dude is smart as hell, and he knows it. Throughout his third solo album’s 18 tracks he does everything in his power to ...
