Future Classic: Pac Div “Fallin”
Not always the biggest fan of groups like Pac Div, Cool Kids, etc… They sometimes seen to be more known for the fresh gear they’re wearing rather than the actual music output. I do love this jam though, nice re-interpretation of Andre 3000’s “Prototype”.
Big Daddy Kane – The Documentary
I’m just a total sucker for music documentaries, put on something about the making of an album by a band I don’t even like and I’ll watch it. But this is just an absolutely essential watch for any hip-hop head. Big Daddy Kane was before my time and obviously, I …

Future Classic: S.A. “Rhyme Machine”
Written by: Max Robin Last week, I wrote about Kemet by Intricate Dialect. At the same time, I found another album by another member of the same Abolisionist Project crew. S.A. hails from Detroit. He’s more rough and more direct than Intricate Dialect. The beats are less ambiant and more …
Future Classic: Intricate Dialect “Kemet”
Written by: Max Robin “Kemet” has many meannings in its hieroglyph form. One is “black” another is “crocodile skin with spines”. I guess it’s not that important because it’s also the name of a new internet release from a rapper with good taste in beats and a large interest in …
20 years ago: A Tribe Called Quest “Low End Theory”
Every die hard music fan has one record that was an essential part in shaping their future taste. That one record for me is without a doubt “Low End Theory”. Although it came out in 1991, I came across it a little later when my cousin Jessica loaned me the …

Future Classic: Grizzly Discovery Remix Year of the Satellite
Written by: Max Robin Good remixes that aren’t at the same level of the originals are sadly quite often the case. That being said some “perfect” work doesn’t need reworking. Of course the marketing department likes the idea of another big name not far from the song but it’s certainly …
Future Classic: Action Bronson “Bon Appetit… Bitch” Mixtape
Wowza. Ok i’m a few months late with this one but I couldn’t not share this with you all. Action Bronson who I didn’t know about before this comes out swinging for the fence with this absolutely deadly 34 track (!) mixtape backed by J-Love. I haven’t been this excited …
