I've gotten into the habit of ripping albums as a single file, rather than track by track. It forces me to listen from end to end and really appreciate the music more.

I've set a goal of trying to memorize and spit R.A.'s verse on 'Uncommon Valor.' I can get over half way through. Dude's breath control is out of this world.

I love El-P. I've been down with him since 'Fantastic Damage' and 'I'll Sleep When You're Dead.' Most of today's hip hop heads only know him as part of Run The Jewels.

I don't f*ck too much with MF Doom. I don't dislike him, just haven't taken the proper time check him out in depth. I intuit that he gets a lot of love around here?
