Am I the only one who thinks The KGB is one of the best rap songs out there? Every emcee is ripping it. I really wish I could find albums with O-Type Star, his rapping is so badass. Also, Elzhi sounds like Bodie from The Wire.

I can always count on you, Raul. So many quotable lines from that song.

RIP Eyedea of Minneapolis alt-rap duo Eyedea & Abilities (per Prefix Mag)

Eyedea was always my personal fave of all the rhymesayers artists. Someday when DDD makes a list of rappers technical skill, he'll be up there. I was seriously sad to hear oh his passing. R.I.P. Michael Larsen. You made Minnesota proud.

He died in his sleep, and tey've ruled out trauma apparently, but nothing further...

ON another note Sage Francis playing here ina couple of days... thinking of sneaking in (i have no valid ID even though i carry three fucking passports... all out of date. What a douche.)
