Damn, today marks 10 years since D’Angelo last put out an album. 10 years! This guy is the male equivalent of Lauryn Hill.

Hip-Hop On NFL Playoffs Vol. 6

What a wild and crazy game. An exciting contest that was at times as sloppy as Oscar Madison’s bedroom, it was a gang of fumbles and a key interception by Brett Favre which cost the Vikings in the end. In a postseason where kickers kept choking, N.O.’s Garret Hartley knocked a 40-yard field goal in OT. The final score: Saints 31. Vikes 28. The Superbowl in Miami will feature the two truly best teams in each conference. Indy vs. Nawlins. […]
