Who's the greatest MC ever?
Grandmaster Melle Mel: the greatest MC ever according to Kool Moe Dee
Not too much poppin' today for me. I'm really trying to finish my promised Ronald Reagan post because, even though the media orgy has finally subsided, I'm still pissed off about the all-Reagan, all-the-time madness we had to go through last week and also have some thoughts on the revisionist history about Reagan's record that's being shoved down our throats too. Stay tuned, hopfully it'll be up by today. In the meantime, here's some stuff to peep:
The Supreme Court pulls a b-tch move. (Indianapolis Star)
League of Independent Voters (spotted by Patrick T)
The New York Times excellent series of editorials on the problems with e-voting.
A DVD I've gotta check out before November: Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election
My man Douglas Wolk's music blog Lacunae: "links, clips, notes etc." and now audioblogging too.
Gotserved.org: a new blog that's feeling Brick Lane as well.
Loved "The Apprentice", not as impressed with "The Casino" (from the same creative team) which premiered last night on Fox.
New 100 Meg jumpoff at Yahoo! Mail as they try to fight off the growth of Gmail. Man, I went from 82% memory used to 4% so I'm not complaining. (New York Times)
Moe Dee's There's a God on the Mic: The True 50 Greatest MCs book is generating a lil' controversy on Hot 97 based on his appearance on the morning show yesterday. I might not necessarily agree with his list (or Top 5) but the criteria and methodology that he described for creating it seemed solid enough. Young un's, believe it or not, there was hip hop before Hov and 2Pac.
