It's 2026 and we're masking again. www.cabbageshiphop.com/masked-rappe...

Always nice to be acknowledged, especially when it's for shining a spotlight on a rapper as great as miles cooke www.shatterthestandards.com/p/rappers-to...

Thanks to Eddie Huang and his Substack for resurfacing this classic meme basedfob.substack.com/p/flower-sho...

If Max B plays "She Touched It In Miami" live, I'm gonna spontaneously combust

Seeing Max B live in less than two weeks so I'm bumping Coke Wave 1 + 2 for the foreseeable

Pretty good @letterboxd.social year

A great day to put on A Tribe Called Quest and lay low

It’s 2026 and I got a new EP dropping entitled It Mean Sumthin’ To Me on 1/21/26 ! Stay tuned!

I gave the CABBAGES Spotify playlist a complete refresh to start the new year. If you're a fan of independent hip-hop & underground rap, there's an hour-or-so's worth of new music for you right here. open.spotify.com/playlist/7MF...

As much as I gotta roll my eyes at mass unsolicited email music submissions don't use the BCC line, it does offer me insight into the even stupider pay-to-play outlets that reply-to-all with their rate cards.

Starting the year off right by dwelling on last year. www.cabbageshiphop.com/5-hip-hop-ra...

Bingewatching Fionna & Cake this week and sure enough we get a whole @mike-eagle.bsky.social track youtu.be/SUSlf-xF_tc?...

Started off the New Year listening to Big Tymers "Still Fly" like a real American

ALL THE TIME

I quoted their own tweet back at them.

My neighbor is blaring "Kokomo" do I bring them beer

They played Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" during lunch at Pastis today and nobody sang along other than me

This is my favorite music video of the year, in part because it really beautifully documents what Backwoodz Studioz is all about, a community of creatives I'm proud to do my small part in documenting at CABBAGES. youtu.be/AzqMHkYNSLc?...

last piece of the year: dug into the origins of “6-7” &what the co-opting says about america open.substack.com/pub/andrejge...

Lil Wayne is TRUKFIT.

Scarface, but that's just Cuban-American culture

One of the side effects of seeing Marty Supreme is that, one week later, I'm on my couch listening to an obscene amount of Tears For Fears and Peter Gabriel

Saw the film at the start of the week and giving the score a standalone listen right now and it's so damn good

Throwback to that time @imgarysuarez.bsky.social had me watch a movie my sons still ask me about. The things we do for amazing podcasts. www.cabbageshiphop.com/podcast-sank...

I started posting some YouTube Shorts about CABBAGES' year-end list this weekend and already got a crabby comment from an Aesop Rock fan

I can't begin to explain to you what happens to hip-hop when it loses its best journalists and critics, leaving only the most craven and clueless content creators and podcast personalities behind. In the 2010s some of the best the genre ever saw were regularly writing about the culture. Few remain.

There are few writers I'd trust to authentically speak on Atlanta hip-hop. Christina remains one of them, and this piece demonstrates why you should too.

Selfishly, I'm glad that Andre now has the time to work on more pieces like this. Well worth a read if you've gotten cynical about the way major label rap works...

For our latest edition of The Producers, we spoke to alt-R&B innovator KeiyaA, who broke down songs by artists like Brandy, Britney Spears, and Nine Inch Nails, and explains how they Influenced her brillaint sophomore album 'Hooke's Law'.

The World Is Enough

Your favorite hip-hop writers are probably hibernating right now, but at CABBAGES it don't stop. www.cabbageshiphop.com/holiday-hip-...

ok but seriously my marty supreme outfit is contingent on the knicks winning

forgot that I bought the Tim & Eric Chrimbus Special on Apple TV about a decade or so ago and now am reaping the benefits

In the meadow we can build a snowman but you playin

Merry Christmas! Let’s go kill Skeletrex

Got some really nice presents for Xmas this year, but the one that I am fixated on is this beautiful fucking thing that I would never have splurged on for myself bookshop.org/p/books/stea...

HEAD!

Cold Cave "Confetti" is a Christmas song

it's been twelve years I just don't think I like deafheaven

the only Xmas album anyone needs today music.apple.com/us/album/cla...

I hope Moby has a merry christmas I really do

Coming to accept that the closest I'll ever get to Perpetual Oyster ownership is the seafood buffet at the Borgata Atlantic City

If I'd extended my Best Of 2025 list a little further, this would've been there for sure
