RIP Brian Wilson. On 4/20 when I was 22 years old, I left my day job as a reporter around noon, bought Pet Sounds, smoked a little opium next to a freeway while still wearing a suit and tie. And nothing ever sounded the same again.

What billy woods has managed to do on his latest album is nothing short of masterful. Actual genius level at times, unreal work honing his craft. Attempted to unpack this incredible record over at our Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/thats-...

ASTRO DOOM 💫

Exactly 15 years ago, Roc Marciano dropped "Marcberg." In the intervening years, it completely reinvented the sound of East Coast underground rap. In honor of its anniversary, @elmattic.bsky.social explores the icy, minimalist, and raw world that Marci built. www.passionweiss.com/2025/05/05/r...

Was afraid I would have to replace the washing machine, ordered a backup pump, took out the old one and pulled out a putrid black sock from the hose leading to the pump. Welcome to your least hip hop Saturday care of @crate808.bsky.social

Thirty years of The Infamous. The sound of concrete bleeding. Once upon a time, I interviewed Prodigy and Havoc about the making of their masterpiece. www.vice.com/en/article/m...

“Boyz II Stronger Men: Achieving a Better Masculinity Through Slow Jams” (Simon and Schuster, 2026)

North Carolina knows what’s up 🔥

listening to “enter the wu-tang” and one think i like about this record — especially as i’ve gotten older — is how *charming* it is. it feels like a garage rock record and in a lot of ways that’s exactly what it is. it’s lo-fi, energetic and brimming with enthusiasm.

Big up the homie for mentioning the pod and my nerdy WhatsApps in his latest drop - dope piece on the devaluing of music listening and the ecstasy of holding music in your hands. Go check @drobny.bsky.social 🔥 substack.com/inbox/post/1...

The film that introduced White folks to the Rap battle… Unless you’d rather credit 1989’s cult classic “Teen Witch” with that distinction instead.

An examination of the ancient question: Am I getting old or has pop music sunk into a precipice of mid? @sonraw.bsky.social brilliantly breaks down nostalgia cycles, the art of skepticism (and hating) & a timeless reminder that most of this shit won't age well. www.passionweiss.com/2025/03/06/n...
