Song of the Day

Eazy E - "Just Tah Let U Know"
Today is the 18th year anniversary of the passing of Eazy-E.From his days with N.W.A., to his solo career and then discovering Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eazy-E had a huge impact on hip-hop. There are countless Eazy classics, but I'm gonna go with a song that I loved off his 1995 album, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton.

Song of the Day

Kid Tsunami feat. Buckshot, Chubb Rock, Pharoahe Monch and Jeru The Damaja - "The Chase"
We're seeing some golden age hip-hop coming back to life more and more and DJ Tsunami grabs a few vets to rip the mic together. This shit makes me so happy to be a hip-hop fan. I wish the radio would actually play songs like this again. It's great to hear Chubb Rock and Jeru again, but it's Pharoahe who absolutely owns this track.

Song of the Day

Brother Ali - "Work Everyday"
I always find it funny when people complain about it being Monday. I haven't worked a normal 9-5, Monday-Friday schedule in over 15 years, so the difference between Monday and Friday means nothing to me. Don't know why this hit me today, but I was relistening to Brother Ali's Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color last week in preparation for the Best of 2012 list and this song stuck with me. Just thought it was appropriate for a Monday that everyone seems to hate.
