It’s Gangsta Gibbs Wide World Of Sports. The black Bill Simmons is here. And for his 10th column, Gibbs licks a shot for the return of NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress.
Coming off the success of last year’s release, The Roots plan to keep the concept LPs going by dropping one based on orchestrated melodies. So far, two sketch pieces have already been completed and ?uest and Black Thought tell Billboard what we can expect. This is going to be our first full-fledged narrative concept album.

Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
