So… yesterday was an eventful day for a lotta hip-hop aficionados such as myself at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in DC. I’d never been to a Rock The Bells Festival, but I made it a point to make it there this year, callin’ around since way back in May to see who was ready to roll. We made it there, and it was well worth the admission. I didn’t catch much on the second stage, mostly because the main stage was MAJOR this year- with Snoop, Wu-Tang, A Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, Rakim, KRS-One, and Slick Rick all touchin’ the stage. I was amped when I woke up, amped when we got there, and still amped when we left. In between all that, here’s the shit that stood out- for better or worse. Here we go…
AllTime8: Married To Juana
08/11/2010You know what summertime reminds me of? Weed! It all started for me in ’96, and for the next six years or so, shit was on like Donkey Kong. I never became a devoted pothead with a time-and-money-consuming habit, but I did grow to enjoy the herbal practice very much.

02/26/2010Aight, so… I was in my senior year of high school, and the first few months of my year was some ol’ bullshit. I had a lil’ beef with this kid, and for whatever reason, my teachers acted like I was some kinda bully tormentin’ the nigga. On five different occasions between September and December, I was suspended, even havin’ to stay home for two weeks straight at one point. They’d gotten their hands on a tape I made and interpreted the lyrics to be some type of threat on the dude’s life, when it really wasn’t that serious. If I told y’all the extent to which this shit went, you’d be amazed that some people who work for a school could be so dumb.
DANJ! Presents Winter Six: 1995 (Aiiiissshhhaaa)
02/12/2010O-Kay… so we’ve passed the halfway mark of the Winter Six series, and it continues on this week with the year of 1995. For the record, there’s a LOT of songs that coulda made this but didn’t. Breaking it down to the main six, these are the ones I came away with. But before we get to that…
