I went from criticizing Wayne cuz of his whiny, gargling, Auto-Tuned voice being everywhere and then was introduced to his Halloween mixtape last year and was turned around. Not so much as to say that he is one of my top 10 or anything, but I definitely have more respect for him than I previously did. Think what you will. ... »»
Being the music fan that I am, I’ve compiled a list of artists that I expect to see albums from this year. For some of them, I’m just being greedy. For others, I think that something new is due. And for still others, albums have been announced, so I’m well within my rights to have expectations. ... »»

Recently, I’ve been having this problem; this eerie, daunting feeling that I just can’t shake. I know it’s kind of deep when you’re just speaking about music, but it’s kinda like the feeling "Murder Was the Case" gave me when I was... »»
Salutations and good morrow. Before we begin, I'd like to get my hustle on for a moment if you don't mind. I'm trying to sell my guitar and so far I haven't had a whole lot of luck. It's a Fender Strat, made in 2000 or 2001. It's got a wine-red finish with the solid maple neck. It's in great condition and has very rarely even been played. I'm looking to sell this along with a hard-shell case (disclaimer: the case does have a crack on the outside but it's not going to affect the guitar), a Crybaby wah-wah pedal that isn't in the best visual condition but still works, and some added accessories including a strap, picks, extra strings, and some amp cables. And all of this for the outright reasonable price of $300 plus shipping and handling.
Contact me at my email, or on mine MySpace page, or through AIM at MurphToTheMax. Or just leave a comment on this article with your information if you're interested, and I can facilitate some pictures so you know what you're getting. If you or anyone you know is looking for a guitar, please let me know because I can't continue to crank out this award-winning column if I can't pay my rent.
Poppin' Off on the Top
Billboard.com's Top 10 Hot Rap Tracks
1. "Lollipop" by Lil' Wayne f/Static Major
Lil' Wayne takes his at-bat with T-Pain's vocorder and makes a crazy danceable, addictive track. The current trend of hip-hop and techno fusion is starting to get interesting; considering my generally low opinion of all forms of electronica, it takes a little bit of a hip-hop groove to make any of that Star Wars-sounding shit danceable. This track is hypnotic, good for the dance floor and better for the blunt circle.
