Read of the Year

A little late (a month of so) but I just wanted to share with you the absolute read of the year. Here is Ghostface Killah's 3rd attempt at a10 Softest Rappers List. Keep in mind that the first editon Aubrey "Drake" Graham taking the one, two and three spots on the list. Aubrey didn't feature much better in the second edition either, taking the top spot.

Ghostface has been one of the realest artists in the game, way back, since most of these listees were still in diapers. So don't even begin to justify this as "hating" and hide behind that shielded word so often used on the interwebs. He's not hating, he's critiquing; and when you earn your stripes, you're allowed to do so.

Finders credit: two of the realest dudes I know: Danny Levin and Branden Lawson.

Each state is represented by a movie that was filmed in that state. Pretty cool.

Best Emcees of All Time

Disclaimer: I don't really like hip hop, not anymore at least. It's all horrible garbage with an extremely rare occasional "decent" track here and there. It's nothing like it used to be. I know, I sound like a grandpa right now, but it's true. Rap sucks, it's horrible, it's watered down, it's all about shicky shake instructional dances and sounding as unintelligent as you possibly can. When top album sales are going to a gay adolescent fake Bape wearing IQ of a doorknob dancer (Soulja Boy), you know your genre is having major problems. Sorry Lil Wayne, even you can't save hip hop from it's imminent death.

I just stumbled on a live performance by Jay Z and Nas absolutely killing their respective Dead Presidents track(s) with Chris Martin from Coldplay masterfully accompanying them on the piano....Hearing Jay and Nas spit live, together, had me thinking about the greatest emcees of all time.

I decided to put a list together (I was originally going to make a top ## list but decided that could take longer than a day and i'd rather not field questions from all of you debating where i placed so and so)

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
Rakim
Notorious B.I.G.
2pac
Big L
GZA
Kool Keith
KRS-1
Mos Def
Nas
LL Cool J
Jay-Z
MF Doom
Andre 3000

Top 20 Film Characters

After watching the Hangover, I couldn't get over how hilarious Zack Galafianakis' character Allen was. The ruh-tard was so brilliantly created that I could not stop comparing him to other on screen personalities. So with that, comes my top 20 film characters of all time.

Disclaimer: I'm not really going to include the obvious ones like Hannibal Lecter, Michael Myers, De Niro in Taxi Driver, or Brando in Godfather etc etc. This is MY list, not the AFI's.

and a quick reminder: This is NOT based on acting performance, but rather the creation of a character that is memorable and exquisitely written.
