Marvin and Otis know how to party on NYE.

Pro Tip; If you start De La Soul’s “Stakes Is High” at 11:57pm, you won’t be stuck listening to shitty music going into the New Year.

Almost 35 years later and the effects look pretty janky, but this was fun and imaginative in a way that I hadn’t seen many videos during the formative years of my love of hip hop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6TL...

Saw Steven Tyler at a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver while on vacation with my family. Saw Donald Sutherland on a college tour with his (non Kiefer) family. They spent whole time talking to each other in French.

Boldy James’ 2025 was one for the ages.

Reflection Eternal's debut album 'Train of Thought' (2000) celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier this year | Rediscover the album here: album.ink/RflctnEtrnlTOT

Amazing album where Parliament was REALLY hitting their musical and creative stride. First in a line of phenomenal “concept” albums. And probably the best album with George Clinton’s name attached to it.

One of the greatest albums of all time.

What actors facial expression in a movie will stay with you the rest of your life? Best ice grill ever:

Bring back gangsta rap that samples ‘60s/‘70s spoken word records.

This is pretty awesome.

PRhyme (a.k.a. DJ Premier & Royce Da 5'9") released their eponymous debut album ‘PRhyme’ 11 years ago on December 9, 2014 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/PRhyme

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

"Young fella.. look like '84, huh?" Wheezing 🤣🤣 An elite trash talker who could back it up. Happy Birthday, Larry Bird 🥳🎂 #LarryLegend

The ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ Soundtrack was originally released 25 years ago on December 5, 2000 | Listen to the album + read our tribute by @jesseducker.bsky.social here: album.ink/obrotherwat

Besides serving as a great soundtrack, it’s a great guide to the roots of music from the US South.

For the last Parliament album is nearly four decades, George Clinton let Sir Nose run the show. And maybe it was just Bootsy and Junie. Still a good album.

FIFA Peace Prize? FOH. Even these days, that’s exceedingly simpering and pathetic.

Ghostface Killah released ‘The Big Doe Rehab’ 18 years ago on December 4, 2007 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/GKillahBDR

Yeah, De La doesn’t miss. At all. I did a pretty in-depth review of the new album, because it called for it.

Self-published a couple of anniversary tributes a little while ago. Got so busy, that I was a little late in writing and putting out both. But they're two personal favorites, so I wanted to get them out there.

Hooked On a Feeling - Blue Swede My President - Young Jeezy International Players Anthem - UGK and Outkast Man of Constant Sorrow - Soggy Bottom Boys version Return of the Mack - Mark Morrison Judas - Fozzy Oh, Canada!

If you want some good music to listen to while watching football or cooking, check out the latest ep of our Return To Zero podcast. We play a bunch of older music, and a smattering of new tracks. We bump our gums a bit; mostly about using the Internet in the 1990s. www.mixcloud.com/returntozero...

The Wu Tang was trying to find a way through hip hop’s shifting landscape as the 21st century started, and they contributed a pretty damn good album in The W.

Hes saying he likes because they’re both outer borough guys. Drumf has always been very insecure about being from the outer boroughs.

As influential as any album in shaping the way that hip hop was presented to a wide audience. Rugged AF beats and raw ass rhymes.

It strains credulity to think Epstein’s best friend, who sent him a horny cartoon about the secrets they share, from whose private club exploited teens were recruited and who has a public history of talking about liking young women and engaging in serial philandering, would be involved in all this.

Erick Sermon released his second studio album ‘Double or Nothing’ 30 years ago on November 7, 1995 | Listen to the album + read our anniversary tribute by @jesseducker.bsky.social here: album.ink/ESermonDON

Great album. And “Dirty South” is one of the best songs ever.

Cases can made that Liquid Swords is 1) the best Wu-Tang album of all time, 2) The best lyrical album of all time and 3) Among the best albums ever recorded.

Sermon’s second album features outstanding production and dope teams with members of the Def Squad camp and a new crop of artists.

Okay, I lied, this is another right answer: m.youtube.com/watch?v=WREJ...

Jay got a lot of flak for the obvious pop appeals on this album, but it really does feature some of his best material.

His 60 point game is the most efficient game in NBA history....he only dribbled like 10 or 11 times.

Here's the newest episode of our Return To Zero podcast. We play some dope hip-hop music, both new and old, and bump our gums a bit about the state of the world. Check it out, give it a listen, and share it with a friend. www.mixcloud.com/returntozero...

Muggs altered his production style a bit for this one, but it’s still true to form Cypress Hill music. Probably my second favorite project by the crew.

Onyx’s second album was their best. It’s bathed in pain and desperation. Great lyrical performances and production.

Fat Joe was hip hop’s most improved player in 1995, releasing his second, and IMHO best, album of his career.

Fashawn released his debut album ‘Boy Meets World’ 16 years ago on October 20, 2009 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/FashawnBMW

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Both of these 3rd Bass albums are classics, but which one do you enjoy more? album.ink/3rdBassCA album.ink/3rdBassDOD

No other choice. This album forever changed my life.
