I saw that. I bought the mp3's when it came out. I still wanna get a physical copy though.

Same here. I wish they would sell the CD by itself.

you mean just the bonus disc? The Illmatic XX reissue itself isn't especially expensive. $16 at Best Buy for instance.

Really? I didn't know that. I didn't really look into it.

yeah that's what I was talking about a few pages back. Disc 1 is the original album, and disc 2 is the bonus disc of 10 remixes/outtakes.

I don't know what Moosh & Twist is... enlighten me?

I just finished reading Prodigy's autobiography, My Infamous Life. It was really a fantastic read. I mean, if you're a fan of Mobb Deep (and Nas, Jay-Z, etc) then it's def something you should enjoy.

Perhaps one of the oddest moments of my own strange obsessions overlapping came in the last 20 pages or so where Prodigy hangs out w/ Lindsay Lohan in a club and describes them drinking and 'grinding' on each other.

Hmm.

There a little hip hop duo. Both of them have really good flow. They are kinda like Gambino is the sense that they don't follow in the footsteps of the stereotypical rapper. They just do them.

Here's one of my favoirte songs by OCD.

Here's a link to Datpiff where they have one of their mixtapes for free download.

^"OCD" is pretty dope, man. The beat is solid. That little dude has such a gruff voice and then the bigger dude comes and he's so smooth. It really works.

I've been listening to a good amount of De La Soul with my coworker. Any opinions on them?
Final Fantasy IX is the best one
