Yep, another break



As I sort-of hinted at in the last post, there's some stuff going on in the real world that is keeping me from giving my full attention to the blog.  I plan on returning as soon as I can with new content.

    4. definitely. Dont get why everyone's going crazy over it...i mean sure he spazzed out for 3 minutes and made all of hip hop take notice and made it a competition again which we haven't seen in years but besides that...naw

    5. Not the worst, but not as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. If rappers actually step up their respective games moving forward, I suppose we'll have K-Dot to thank, but instead everyone will probably take it as the dis that it isn't, since he was so goddamn polite about everything.

  11. Hi Max,

    Would you be open to reviewing an album by a new artist? I'm referring to myself and I'd like your clearly knowledgeable opinion on my work :D

    If so, how can I contact you?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Max, quick question. Boss Hog Barbarians, Gimme Dat Beat Fool, or To Love A Hooker?

    ReplyDelete

    1. If you're asking because you're pre-ordering J-Zone's new album, well, according to his book he has tons of unsold copies of To Love A Hooker laying around his house, so you could help him out by picking that, I guess.

  17. Hey, what happened to NECRO's Die, you never even mentioned it?! I think its entertaining as fuck and you would definitely appreciate it (just like we would in form of a review on here)
    Take care and hope to read from you again, soon!

    ReplyDelete
  18. When you come back Max, you should review The Rude Awakening. You've mentioned "Spanish Harlem" so much, it's about time...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Max, Hip hop is dead without you!!!!! (Ok slight exaggeration, but you are missed nonetheless)

    ReplyDelete

  22. Hey Max, just wanted to ask you, if you're taking a break can I send you some reviews I wrote for you to see if you enjoy them and would publish in order to keep giving steady content to the readers of the blog ?
    Thanks in advance for the answer

    1. Well no offence Max but I know which one I'd like to happen first.

  25. Why the fuck do I keep checking this site every 2 hours even though I know you won't be here for a while?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I humbly expect your return to reviewing to tackle the new J-Zone. He is BACK! I had not hoped for something as incredible as what he has delivered. Contender for hiphop-album of the year in my book.

  27. Max, props from Cracow, Poland!

    I can't wait for the next HHID entries, I especially hope that you're going to review some more old school New York shit,and how about Killer Mike's "R.A.P. Music" (an awesome album, in my opinion?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Definitely needs to review r.a.p. , some el-p, funcrusher plus, diamond d, the 2nd and much superior lord finesse album, clouddead, themselves, mr. lif, TELICATESSEN, JAYLIB, tons o madlib shit, DONUTS (can]t believe this site doesn't have donuts), and the best doom shit (vcaudelain villain, born like this, MADVILLAINY... and for completionist sake, ghost/doom - victory laps)....

  28. Maybe it's just me, but didn't this website used to have reviews of Digable Planets' stuff as well?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's just you. Nobody's ever written about any of the Digable Planets albums (yet).

      Delete
    2. Ah, thanks for the quick reply. I guess I was probably thinking about the defunct Refused To Come Wack blog.

      Delete
    3. Man, I miss Refuse to Come Wack. I think that the author reads this blog too.

      Delete
    4. Why did it shut down? I stopped going on for a few weeks and then it wasn't there anymore.
