The Rub 2008 Mix

Damn I haven't checked the rub for a minute. Last I thought they were stopping with 1999 (since that's in a sense a climax for hip-hop [although still certainly far from dead]) I have to run through the blog and see if they did any of the rest of the 2000's.

Soulful Sundaes: Xzibit - Release Date

Very Special Souflul Sundaes today. Grammy Winning artist John Forte was just pardoned by George W. Bush.

In 2000, Forté was arrested at Newark International Airport and charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to distribute after accepting a briefcase containing $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine.[1] While on trial and under house arrest, he completed a second album, I, John. He was convicted and sentenced to the mandatory minimum 14 years after being found guilty of possession of 31 pounds of liquid cocaine with intent to distribute

I suppose I could put some of his music on but this was just the first thing I thought of. So to familiarize you with his music if you haven't heard, here's one of my favorites. I'm not the biggest fan in the world or anything but dude is talented. He fux with the fugees and helped write and produce a couple of songs on The Score.
