”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

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. 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, Boyz N the Hood is released in theaters. at just 23 years old, John Singleton got an Academy Award nomination for his direction of a film about urban blight, violence, male responsibility and sexual behavior in an era oppressed by AIDS. Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) is one of the great movie fathers. he’s determined to raise his son correctly. stern but concerned, firm but caring, Furious imparts lessons about sex, drugs, violence, gentrification and the plight of the young black man in America. Cube’s final speech about how fatalistic he is about his own life is still moving all these years later. a hood classic. “either they don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood.”

30 years ago today, Nas releases his sophomore LP, It Was Written, on Columbia Records. Illmatic is the gold standard for a lot of heads, and I’m not mad at you if that’s the case, but I’m also lowkey not mad if you think It Was Written is better. the only shit I don’t like on here is "Nas Is Coming", and that’s because the beat on there (Dr. Dre) is mega trash. Nas style was rawer on Illmatic, but on here, he’d become a more well-rounded MC. if Illmatic is the rap bible, It Was Written is the New Testament.

39 years ago today, Eric B. & Rakim release their debut LP, Paid in Full, on 4th & B’way/Island Records. self-produced (Marley insists he did the beats on My Melody and Eric B. Is President), and recorded at Marley Marl’s home studio, Paid In Full is indisputably one of the small handful of albums that changed the path of rap music. among the 5 greatest hip-hop LP’s ever recorded, and a reasonable candidate for the greatest ever. I never cared about the instrumental jawns on here, but they’re just minor speed bumps on a record with 7 flawless songs. the styles that Rakim created on Paid in Full have been mimicked countless times and continue to influence emcees almost 4 decades later.

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.

34 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 30+ years ago. possibly the greatest album cover ever (although Bushwick Bill and Scarface later said they regretted taking the photo). their magnum opus. #RIPBushwickBill

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.

36 years ago today, Ice Cube released his debut solo LP, AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, on Priority Records. famously produced by the Bomb Squad, it’s as loud, noisy, and angry as anything you’ll find on “Fear of a Black Planet”. AMW is one of the first records to change the dynamic of social justice in rap music (thanks to the influence of Public Enemy). 5 Mics in The Source (when it mattered), and one of the best hip-hop records ever.

35 years ago today, NWA release their second and final studio album, Niggaz4Life, on Ruthless/Priority. this shit hit different. my favorite Dre-produced LP. the most nihilistic, apolitical recordings since the Nixon tapes. still dangerous after 3 1/2 decades.
