Wow, Tom Morello, for real? Normally I agree with your taste and all of that -- and dude can definitely play some cool shit on the guitar -- but that first Nightwatchmen record is sort of abysmal and comes off as a pretty amateurish case of genre tourism to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It was a bit lackluster. (It did have some cool tracks on it though, you've gotta admit...).
ReplyDeleteBut come on: It's Tom Morello!
Nelly: Brass Knuckles [Derrty/Universal]
ReplyDeleteT.I.: Paper Trail [Grand Hustle/Atlantic]
on the same gdamn day? terrible idea, one will get pushed back- im guessing T.I.
wow, nothing good this summer
ReplyDeleteWhats up with the Menahan: Street Band? I assume those are the same people who supplied the Roc Boys sample. Is that a reissue?
ReplyDeletePauly: Not sure, but I'll definitely keep my eye on it.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the album I'm anticipating the most, Cube's "Raw Footage"
