”Last night, I received a flash drive containing the complete list of files belonging to Jeffrey Epstein. It has everything in it; every billionaire, every campaign donor, every single person. now let me tell you why you haven't heard anything about this in the media. because they're all in it. they will do everything to prevent these documents from being made public. Epstein was far more than just a child predator; he was an asset for intelligence agencies. He was part of a blackmail operation used to control billionaires, politicians, and world leaders. If this list ever sees the light of day, the system as we know it will collapse. the public has a right to know the truth, and I'm not afraid to share this” -United States Representative Thomas Massie

32 years ago today. Russell Simmons passed on Nas’ demo, famously claiming that Nas sounded too much like G Rap. translation: great but unsalable. he signed Warren G instead. Illmatic dropped, and is widely regarded as the greatest rap album ever made. Illmatic was the bridge. Melle Mel and Kurtis Blow, to Run-DMC, to Rakim, the Juice Crew, and Big Daddy Kane. now Nas. everyone said he had next since Large Professor brought the chipped tooth kid sporting Gazelles into the studio. the more you listen to Illmatic, the more haunted it feels. when you’re younger, it clubs you with its hail of words and the skeletal beauty of its beats. but the older I get, the more it strikes me as a teenaged requiem for those still living. “Old Soul” is the sort of stock phrase used by yoga teachers and amateur psychics, but it always fit Nas. he’s 20 and prematurely nostalgic, struck by memories of park jams and watching “CHiPS.”, when Shante dissed the real Roxanne, and how much he misses Mr. Magic. Illmatic is a story of a gifted writer born into squalor, trying to claw his way out of the projects. It’s somewhere between The Basketball Diaries and Native Son, but Jim Carroll and Richard Wright couldn’t rap like Nas. not many can. 39 minutes and 51 seconds of perfection.

35 years ago today, the Geto Boys release their 3rd LP, We Can't Be Stopped, on Rap-A-Lot Records. one of the most vivid and brutal rap records of all-time. brilliantly self-produced (with help from John Bido and Johnny C), it took only 2 weeks to record. "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" is one of the greatest rap songs ever recorded, and "Fuck a War" is as relevant today as it was 35 years ago. possibly the greatest album cover ever (although Bushwick Bill and Scarface later said they regretted taking the photo). their magnum opus. #RIPBushwickBill

32 years ago today, Organized Konfusion released Stress: The Extinction Agenda, on Hollywood BASIC. during a year that saw the arrival of debut albums by Nasir and Biggie, it says something that the lyrical performances of the year could arguably be found on this record. one of the talents that they had as a group was its ability to shift topics and approaches, sounding just as ill rhyming about childhood reminiscing as they did rhyming about splitting the electrons off of an atom. It’s this talent that made them one of the greatest and most underappreciated groups of their era. one of the best albums of the 90’s, and light-years ahead of its time. crush. kill. destroy. stress.

Frankie Lymon. 13 years old here. found dead of a heroin overdose at the age of 25 on the floor of his grandmother’s Harlem bathroom with a syringe by his side. “remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent. you could have all the talent in the world but if you don’t do the right thing, then nothing happens” -Lorenzo Anello

35 years ago today, Cypress Hill released their self-titled debut album on Ruffhouse/Columbia. most of the album was put together from a few different demos they had recorded during the late 1980s. and even though a lot of the joints were recorded in 1988 and 1989, they still sound ahead of their time and straight-up revolutionary. Muggs was a pioneer, using samples from soul, rock, jazz, and blues and layering them like a mad scientist. definitely influenced by the Bomb Squad and Ultramagnetic, Muggs’ shit was dustier and dirtier. he was able to take the template created by his influences and successfully build upon it. aggressive, uncompromised hip-hop music, filled with realistic takes on life in the streets of South-Central Los Angeles in the late 1980s/ early 1990s. certified double platinum and went Gold within six months of its release. a masterpiece.

Sean Price (March 17, 1972 - August 8, 2015). love you and miss you, Akh. P! Forever! those sneaker store expeditions we’d go on while on tour are the stuff of legend. “copped 20 pair with Vinnie one time on tour” may Allah forgive his inequities, fill his qabr with noor and raise him among the blessed on the day of judgement.

happy bornday Grand Puba Maxwell. there’s an argument to be made that from 88 (Masters of Ceremony), to 95 (2000), he was the best rapper on the planet. along with the Lo-Lifes, Puba was also a MASSIVE influence on hip-hop fashion. one of the most effortless flows of all-time.

31 years ago today, Ol' Dirty Bastard releases his debut LP, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, on Elektra/WMG. the third shot fired in the Wu revolution, Dirty may well be the most original vocalist in hip-hop history. the beats on here? some of RZA’s finest work. True Master and 4th Disciple, as well. nominated for Best Rap Album at the 1996 Grammys. a mad genius at work. my favorite album cover of all-time.
