Smart, angry, decidedly non-commercial.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - If you were drawn to hip-hop originally because you thought the whole concept was inventive (er, fresh, to use the lingo), then hip-hop has probably been disappointing you a lot lately.

If Ludacris coming up with new ways to say 'I got money'...

This is not the definitive music geek movie, sorry.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - I'm probably as representative of the 'target audience' for this film as anyone. Here are my stats: White, male, 32, music-obsessed. I was a college radio DJ/music snob, and even today I DJ at a local community radio station, long after my fellow...

An excellent intro-to-Dub Compilation

Sun, 30 Sep 2001 03:41:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - This album was my introduction to the style of music called Dub, a style I have come to love. It defined 'Dub', and the tracks on this album become the gold standard against which I judged later Dub additions to my collection.

What is Dub?...

This Is The Definition Of Funk

Sun, 2 Sep 2001 03:43:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - This album could also be called 'The Blueprint of Hip-Hop', but KRS-ONE already used that title while he was with Boogie Down Productions. Even if you've never heard a JBs instrumental track before, if you listened to any hip-hop at all between 1987 and...

He'll want to give me an *ss-whoopin after reading this.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - Those of us who entertained ourselves by making prank calls in the glory days before things like Caller ID killed off this alternative to doing drugs or shooting your classmates as something for suburban teens to do are a bit envious of people like the...

Best CD ever?

Thu, 24 May 2001 01:00:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - On my first exposure to Tortoise's work, I must admit I was not impressed.

I had asked TD, owner of TD's CD's and LP's in Bloomington (best record

store ever) for some recommended new releases to listen to. TD gets to

know his...

Good Anti-Social Fun

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - Much has been written about the questionable moral content of this game. To those who would join the video game blaming hordes, I say pass this game up in favor of Rod and Todd's Bible Pray-Off Part III, which will soon be appearing in a Wal-Mart near...

Good, but just good

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - Probably everybody has a friend who's really sharp and with it who smokes a lot of dope. Go ahead, admit you do. This person makes you think maybe you can hit the bong with great frequency and still lead a full and meaningful life. Then they do...

Best Hip-Hop Album I've heard this year

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 03:06:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - This past year I've returned to the hip-hop fold, partially thanks to having a job where one benefit is being able to pick up CDs for $2.50. You take a lot more chances when the cost is lower, and sometimes you pick up gems which you might otherwise...

Simultaneously Sad and Hilarious

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - I saw this movie a few days ago, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I expected something in the Spinal Tap/Ed Wood/Waiting for Guffman vein, and was in no way disappointed. This movie is hilarious, Mark's sidekick, Mike, is the...

1 CD Worth of great material

Sun, 28 May 2000 03:43:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jugglhed - The Wu-Tang Clan's debut, 'Enter The Wu-Tang', is an excellent album. If you like hip-hop at all, chances are you'll think it's brilliant. The Wu-Tang Clan singlehandedly revived my interest in hip hop, which had waned and found me wandering through...
