10: VHS or Beta - Bring On The Comets
I heard the fantastic single Can't Believe A Single Word on a music industry compilation earlier this year and it was one of the few tracks that made me go "hang on a minute" and dig up the package to see what I was listening to. Afterwards, I had to check out the record, which was full of admittedly similar sounding high octane dance-rock thrillers.

I went to Rock the Bells at Randall's Island in New York a few weeks ago. Overall I was kind of disappointed with the whole event.

Pharoahe Monch has been around for quite some time, but his upcoming album Desire will probably launch him into the main stream [finally]. While I wanted to post the video for "Gun Draws," I believe that although this video ultimately has a positive meaning, it may be a little too violent considering recent events. It's on youtube for anyone who would like to see it. Instead, I'll put up this video of Pharoahe performing live. I personally have not seen him, but have hear... MORE

The video is a little graphic, doubtful it will make it to the MTV scene...
Pharoahe Monch has been around for a bit, but his lyrical ability is just amazing. He is definately one of those underrated rappers who deserves a lot more respect.... MORE
