The College Dropout. Late Registration. Graduation. You don’t have to be too edumacated to notice the trend in Kanye West’s album titles. It’s only fitting, though, as one could call Kanye a “student of the game”, so to speak. He encompasses so many aspects of so many great producers. He’s..

Wake up, wake up, wake up, it’s the first of the month! So get up, get up, get up, read Fun Facts and crack up! If you didn’t think that introduction was funny, I can’t say I blame you… but keep reading, it gets better. 1. Cypress Hill was banned..
To celebrate a month’s passing since our introductory Fun Facts post, here’s a second installment. Pat yourself on the back if you’ve noticed a trend here. 1. On “Stick 2 The Script” (off The Dynasty Roc La Familia), Jay-Z’s line “We gon’ run the streets/’til we reach Malik” is in..
Many of us can (and will) bicker over what might be gained and/or lost by Nas’s upcoming controversially-titled album (so much for December, ay, Def Jam?), but few can argue with the statement he made on “Where Are They Now?”, possibly the stand-out track from his ’06 publicity stunt album..
Welcome to the first installment of a new feature here on ML, where we hit you off with 10 random factoids about some of your favorite (and, likely also some of your least favorite) artists. They’re fun. They’re facts. You do the math. 1. Before the RZA brought together the..
If you’re a hip hop aficionado/casual soul music listener like myself, then it’s inevitable that your tastes in these respective genres have overlapped at some point.

On his MySpace, Donny Goines, an up-and-coming Harlem MC who ML has discussed in the past, says that if you don’t know his name, he’s not working hard enough. (And, if you don’t know Donny’s name, educate yourself here.) Likewise, if you don’t know the significance to hip hop’s history..
Aaron M is the midst of a short blogging hiatus (so necessary, sometimes), hence the lack of a Remix Tuesday last week. So, I figured I’d assume the role, if only to maintain some continuity, and to hit y’all off with some dope shit. And, as you can see in..
People didn’t wear t-shirts that read J Dilla Changed My Life back when James Yancey was alive. It wasn’t because he hadn’t changed people’s lives back when he was alive — it was because it took his death for most of us to realize it. Some may take the opposite..
There’s “classic” rock. There’s “old school” hip hop. Cheesy pop music from the ’80s has pretty much classified itself as its own sub-genre. Basically, most every genre of popular music somehow reflects upon music from past generations, either by paying homage to the older music by borrowing notes, lyrics, sounds..
