Cool As A Fan



As Justin points out, the article by Davey D is essential reading.
By no means do the two offer definitive answers. Instead, they provide essential pieces to a large, and complex, puzzle!

MCee


Taking a cue from SportsCenter's "Mt. Rushmore of Sports," my buddy Tom flipped the script and asked me, "If you could make a Mt. Rushmore of MC's, who would you put up there?"

I sat and pondered for a minute.

"Not who you think the best MC's are," he explained, "just your personal favorites."

As of today, my answers are (from left to right):

Rakim
Mos Def
Black Thought
Tupac

Who's on your Mt. Rushmore?

Funny Style


Entertainment Weekly presents... The 25 Funniest Actresses in Hollywood. Coming in at #16 (assuming these are actual ranking numbers) is my favorite of the bunch, Mindy Kaling.

Aside from her "chirpy Valley-girl inflections" as Kelly Kapoor in The Office, she's also written several of the show's greatest episodes. Hats off to you Ms. Kaling!

Honestly, aside from Ghostface Killah, I refuse to listen to post-2000 Wu-Tang Clan (solo or group).

The Punisher

The homie Jeremy "DK28" Doll is back at it again, speedrunning videogames like there's no tomorrow!

His most recent SDA World Records include:

-Double Dragon II: The Revenge (NES)
-Super Smash Bros. (N64).

After watching the Double Dragon II run, I'm sure you'll agree that he's earned the title, "Master of the Flying Knee of Death!"

Making Progress



"As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at,
Peace to everybody striving to live right and exact,
Even though anxieties try to pull you down,
See your troubles as a blessing and you're homeward bound,
Everybody gotta struggle, that's the way of the world,
Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls,
Can't achieve a garden if you never water your crops,
If you never paid your dues, then you don't get props,
Couldn't eat a proper meal without cooking it first,
Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work,
If it wasn't for the rain, then the trees won't grow,
When the spring came around what a sight to bestow,
When you face adversities dark clouds won't last,
If you never study, how do you expect to pass?
The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores,
When the winter came around, he was left outdoors,
See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine,
Evolution of the mind, soul, body, and being,
God'll never put upon you more than you can take,
Sometimes you even gotta learn from other people's mistakes,
So head on black people got to meet the task,
Educate, keep learning, gotta question, ask,
And let your light keep shining and remember the past!"

1994


What's the greatest year in hip hop?

1987?
1996?
2008?

If you're a hip hop connoisseur, chances are you've had the conversation about the "Class of '88" within your respected circles... but what about a "Class of '94?"

Critically acclaimed albums include:

Artifacts - Between A Rock And A Hard Place
The Beatnuts - Street Level
Common - Resurrection
The Coup - Genocide & Juice
Craig Mack - Project: Funk Da World
Gang Starr - Hard To Earn
Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East
Method Man - Tical
Nas - Illmatic
The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die
O.C. - Word... Life
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
OutKast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Main Ingredient
The Roots - Do You Want More?!!!??!
Scarface - The Diary
Warren G - Regulate... G Funk Era

Shout outs to The Real Frequency show: Arcee, Musiklee Inzane, & DJ P-Plus.

I wrestled with this one for a minute!
My final answer? 1988... No wait, 1994... but, then again...

Download the Real Frequency '88 vs. '94 sound clash and help me decide once and for all!
