Sorry I've been away for so long. It's been a busy few weeks (almost a month, now) for me. Launching a new website at the Local has pretty much kept me from this awesome blog.
Of course, I haven't really had any good inspiration. Was toying with a piece about Deerhunter, but couldn't work up much enthusiasm for it. Thought about taking a look at reissues by NIN (Petty Hate Machine) and Weezer (Pinkerton) but didn't have anything worthwhile to say about either.
So, I thought, why not weigh in on Kanye West?
If you read this blog, you're probably not a big fan of hip hop. Chances are you're a rock fan. Well, I'm not a huge fan of hip hop, either. I was 20 years ago, though. There was a time in high school when Public Enemy, Run DMC, Boogie Down Productions, De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest were everything to me.
