Decades after this song was made, it still sticks in my head. Perhaps I am just a nostalgic fiend for old school rap songs. But I suspect that the millions of Slick Rick fans feel the same way about this song. The song “Hey Young …

This album is a remarkable work of art. There is an atmosphere on this record which is unparalleled. If the previous U2 album was brilliant, this album is post-brilliant. The previous album, Achtung Baby is a collection of very strong tracks, whereas this album feels more effortless and easy. …

Most people who know me know that I am generally not interested in the particulars of dancehall music. However, when the dancehall deejay Elephant Man went solo a few years ago after he left the infamous dancehall music group the “Scare Dem Crew”, I could not help but notice …

My father used to say that music was his second language and I guess I inherited his DNA.

This is my favorite post-Beatles solo album. I also really enjoy John’s Plastic Ono Band, and Paul and Linda’s Ram, but All Things Must Pass is so trancendentally amazing that no other release comes close. I have a copy on vinyl that I got from my dad’s old records.
A …

I do believe that MTV is trying to hype of LL Cool J and has put together a bunch of mini spots to show that this 30-something (almost 40) rapper is still just as relevant as he was when he was performing songs like “Mama Said Knock You Out.” …

Who could have blamed those who denied hope of any future for Nightwish? With Opera metal hidden so deeply in the Finnish shadows, surely anybody would feel threatened by a band with power metal guitar chords, techno inspired keyboard tunes and a lead singer trained in the style of …
