December 18, 2008 – 10:35 am
Out of all the records I enjoyed during 2008 I chose twenty of them as my favorites.  I put them all in alphabetical order and wrote about them.  Here are the first five… In 1988 poet, teacher, philosopher and metaphysician Lawrence Krisna Parker described Hip-Hop’s talent pool as “a lot of suckers with colorful names.” He […]
