In/Out List

I like that In/Out list Dan did. Here's my hip-hop flavored version:

IN: emcees retiring
OUT: emcees getting killed
NEVER WAS: emcees turning to God
ALWAYS WILL: emcees going to jail

IN: XXL
OUT: The Source
NEVER WAS: Vibe (sorry, Lynne)
ALWAYS WILL: the clerk in the hip-hop section of your local record store

IN: button ups
OUT: throwbacks
NEVER WAS: the trucker hat, hipster Pharrell/Aesop Rock look
always will: graphic t-shirts (digital gravel has plenty)

IN: Ki Toy
OUT: Meagan Good
NEVER WAS: Maya
ALWAYS WILL: J-Lo (I don't care how many men she almost marries)

IN: Hip Hop Blogs
OUT: garbage pop-up link traps like Rap News Direct
NEVER WAS: Rap.About.com, unless Ife Oshun decides to comb her hair
ALWAYS WILL: message boards, like on HipHopSite

*Note*
This post was not based on opinion but rather super scientifical research conducted with the two other nukkas at my job who listen to rap music. Peace.

I think The Ave is definitely in - even over XXL. And as for Vibe, c'mon now back at the jump off the mag was dope. Y'all know it was hot back '93 - '95.

do anybody know who the girl is in the blue in the freekaleek video.

So you're saying you'd rather see an MC go to jail than turn to god? This is why a third of black males over 25 are in jail, why children are raised without fathers in the ghettos with no chance of getting out, and why young men are becoming larcenists and murderers at young ages out of sheer desperation. Oh and by the way the reason the Aesop Rock look never was is because he's REJECTING the retarded cookie cutter fashion statements made by every other MTV Mc. Regardless, he's 10 times the lyricist than any MC on MTV. PS. check out Marsill

PPS Jaylo is a corporate media ho. Sure I'd like a piece, but always will should at least include someone who can write her own stuff.
