Thisisrealmusic.com & The New Millenni Ten
Pretty soon, The Commish is gonna have a few thoughts on the new NBA season and I'll be posting a link to the preview of sorts that I wrote for blacksportsnetwork.com, which I'm freelancing for. Half of the preview is already up, the second half is has been waiting on a graphic accompanyment for the past few days. It should be up any moment, now, though.
Until then, I implore everyone to check out thisisrealmusic.com. It's my man's site that he runs with one of his partners from NJ. It's just three months old, but it's already developing a following and its potential has no ceiling. A site like this has never existed. Its a site for real music fans.
Since my nigga is running it and trying to blow it up, you know I'm gonna offer fam whatever expertise I have. And since my business acumen is near zero, I'm offering my pen.
With that said, check out this month's issue, particularly the Musicology feature, The New Milleni Ten. It's a list of the ten best albums released after 2000. Me and and group of fellow music professors -- we call ourselves The Musicologists -- spent close to two months determining this list. There's a bunch of content, including a piece on how this top 10 came about, appreciations/testimonials for each album, several pieces on albums we snubbed (which include a heatfelt appreciation of the new Gnarls Barkley by one of the Musicologist and a back-n-forth between me and my nigga on the greatness/flaws/impact of Jay-Nas and Blueprint-Stillmatic), and a Musicologist biography.
This is what I've spent the bulk of my free-time on, which is why my blog-game has been poor. But, even though I will have tons of submissions on this site each month, I swear my blog-game is set to explode any week now...the itch is there, trust me...and I'm bout to start scratchin' (that was not only a weak and cliche' analogy, it was kind of a vomit-inducing-image, too...so I apologize).
Plus the site has mad reviews, new artist pieces, legend pieces. It's hot. Since it's new, you'll have to excuse a few design snafus and maybe a spelling error here or there...but work with us. It's a movement. Believe that.
