Slang Editorial:::As we round the bend in the first month of Oh Eight, I find myself slowly getting settled into the new digs, firing up our computers and re arranging all the mess I have figuratively and literally dragged into a new year. I think I may have put way too much on my plate, when I attempted a move on the first week of the year. The emotional and literal pain that such a ill timed venture was not anticipated, as I waited for weeks to get internet access back on in the new apartment.
It took a bit longer than we expected to get settled into the new place, but we are all plugged in and ready to rock and roll! The next few days will be spent setting up the calender, promoting all of the sites and more of the usual from us here at the compound. This time around tho', we are not holding our tongues, at least not here at Rap Critics.
I feel like my reviews have become to nice lately. I really have no interest in being critical of most Hip-Hop acts that I hear, God knows there are tons of easy targets of my rapier wit and snobbish Hip-Hop taste. Put it too you like this, we finally got cable turned on here, and of course I spent at least a good eight hours stuck to the couch and the remote, trying to make up for tons of lost time. I see that I have not missed much since I was away from the boob tube.
While I may never rise to the ranks of heavyweight Hip-Hop blog sites like SOHH, AllHipHop, Vibe, or any of those types, I have no reason not to speak on or critique the music we all know and love, however I may see it.
I guess I say all that to brace folks that I may offend when I start my rants on Hip-Hop and what I think it is. I say in all in love, with respect due to all, even if is sounds like a diss. The lines of dialog get a bit murky sometimes, in the middle of a freestyle battle. Just respect the architect and I'll try to build a piece you'll be proud of, ya dig!
Anyway, that's about it. Check us out tonight as Rap Critics contributor DJ Shiro swings by to plug the CD decks and rock some tunes on The Cyber Mix Tape Show! You know it's about to be on for 2008, and we have lots to talk about, so tune in! We will catch you all up to speed with the new moves and just chill for a bit!
Oh yeah....In the middle of all the moving madness, it seems that some of our lucky prize winners may not have gotten their gifts yet. Check you mailboxes and hit me up if you still haven't received the holiday booty!
So stay tuned to us here for more of the latest news and reviews of Hip-Hop and beyond, here at Rap Critics.org and tell a friend about us!
