  a lot of my favorite artists made their return this year, including No Doubt and Big Bad VooDoo Daddy- however my favorite album of 2012 has got to be Aesop Rock’s “Skelethon”
  there’s no proper way to describe this album, but if you’ve ever listened to AesRock, you know that you should expect nothing less than mind-bending wordsmanship and beats that give you nightmares. if you haven’t already, listen to the ENTIRE album for free right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYNBOAoXReQ
  unless you like Tyga or YG. in which case… go find a coloring book or something.

  wait, he rhymed “shy bitch” with “shy bitch” three times, and then rhymed it with “my bitch” WOW!
  Lil Wayne really is the greatest rapper alive.
  take that Aesop Rock nonsense somewhere else! along with Dr. Seuss’ ABC book and Mother Goose’s Hickory Dickory Dock, this might be some of the greatest poetry in the history of the English language.

  Sad Clown
  
  the second of my Sean Daley portraits that i put up over the weekend.
  installed this one on an electrical box on Effie and Sanborn, in Silver Lake.
  if you notice, the top-right of the box, someone had previously stuck a drawing of a snail there. Slug and a Snail, it seemed an ideal location.

  a lot of the people i talk to about underground hip hop learned about their favorite artists through Tony Hawk games.
  it’s sad that a game with a mostly punk-rock soundtrack does a better job of introducing people to good hip-hop than hip hop radio stations do.

  posted these along Normandie yesterday. 
  
  the one to the right already had a 100.3 sticker on it, so the “POWER 105.9 : where hip hop died” fit right in.

  As many of you know, i am very fond of Hip Hop music. It is a love that, like many others, was born from hatred. Hatred towards what i thought Hip Hop was: derogatory, offensive, mindless. But Hip Hop, and the artists that create it, proved me wrong, showing me that there is mindful, touching, uplifting, respectable raps, but you must know where to look. 
  One of the places you won’t find good Hip Hop is mainstream radio. It’s very sad that currently, the most praised, recognized, and financially successful rappers are the ones who least deserve their success. They’re the ones that prey on the hungry followers that will eat whatever the media feeds them. They capitalize on their simple, abysmal standards, and make the fanbase believe that being as stupid and unoriginal as they are, will lead to them having the money, cars, and sex lives that they’ve got.
  Alas, my distaste for the “hoodrich,” “swag,” “young money” delusions are topics for another day. i have no say, no influence in what the radio plays, i can only hope to bring awareness of the issue to people, so that they may make the decision not to buy into their influence. My “Power” stickers are a very small way of illustrating my message, and hopefully sparking some thought. The concept is simple, i took the logo of the local Hip Hop station, “Power 106,” and changed the slogan from what it actually is “Where Hip Hop Lives,” to something more honest. “Where Hip Pop Lives” is reference to how the lines between Top40 pop music, and Hip Hop, have been blurred to nonexistence. My friends suggested “Where Hip Hop Lived” since there’s been no real hip hop played on there in years, and “Where Hip Hop Died,” since radio/record companies are responsible for the decline in the quality of rap music.
