Even though it’s doing well, in a just world Anora would be a megahit

Porridge always drops nicely this time of year.

Have a happy new year, Marty!

Thanks for another great year of blogging.

Good find on that Funky Connection song, as an original member of the Pimp C hive I hadn't heard that one before either. Turns out this tape exists: https://www.discogs.com/release/26375207-Big-Mitch-Underground-Kings-1990-2020-UGK-30

Haven't been able to track it down yet though.

I know most of the other songs from it via YouTube. A couple of titles i'm not familiar with tho.

Also re: decent end of the year lists, the Passion of the Weiss list also had a few cool songs I didn't know about: https://www.passionweiss.com/2024/12/29/the-pow-best-rap-songs-of-2024/

Unforgivable for a West Coast oriented outlet to not have any Seiji Oda song though.

Or Ezale. Nice to see another list featuring a Nef song tho.

'vengeance most fowl' was great fun

revisited 'were rabbit' after though and thought it was much better, a stone cold masterpiece

Can't disagree with that.
