Since we deemed the original Classic Material, it’s surprising that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II hasn’t been mentioned more around these parts. Well, we did it for Hov, why not The Chef? Especially since we’ve waited over 14 years for this Read more

A few Tuesday’s ago (May, 19th to be exact) we saw album releases from Busta Rhymes, Method Man/Redman, & of course, Eminem. This was so far the biggest release date of 2009.
