A former executive at one of the big retail music chains told me this album was the most stolen Hip-Hop album of the 1990s — with over 20,000 copies stolen in 1995 alone. Happy 30th to E. 1999 Eternal
Thirty years ago today, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony released E. 1999 Eternal.
I just dropped a DJ Blend mixtape, dedicated to my favorite artists of 1989, and it's almost entirely; album cuts, b-sides, rare demos, etc.... Definitely not the obvious: soundcloud.com/redefinehiphop…

Hulk Hogan embodied the grandiosity, excess & dark side of the American dream. He transformed himself from a small-town Southern boy into a national hero into a disgraced heel. A steroidal manifestation of the country's trajectory, writ extra large. No Holds Barred ruled though.
It kinda pisses me off how the album is called "ALFREDO 2" and its a bowl of ramen on the cover.
“Back then, it was a different scene. No Serato—DJs played records out. That was what you had to work with: records or CDs,” says @djbasura. My latest for @metronewspaper: Darkwave/post-punk dance party Atomic's origins, ahead of its 20th anniversary. metrosiliconvalley.com/atomic-alt-dan…
Me: I dunno if my heart's into writing these days. Also me: immediately accepts writing assignments.
NEW EPISODE!! The final installment of our 3 Bad Brothers series. We go DEEP this week with 2.5 hours of meta commentary, voice mails from Beasties fans, and fantasy song draft. Special shout out to all the guest contributors who made this series possible. Tap In!
remembering the biz on the anniversary of his passing. an american original if there ever was one. npr.org/2021/07/16/906…
90k first week sales for Clipse? Huge W. Their biggest first week since Lord Willin' in 2002. The press takeover worked -- media STILL matters in 2025, don't let anyone tell you different.
Countless artists—usually filmmakers, occasionally novelists—have been suggested as David Lynch’s spiritual successor. I think it’s Open Mike Eagle. I wrote about the best album he’s made to date: pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
One of those good days in which one of my favorite writers (@paulxt) writes about one of my favorite writers (@Mike_Eagle): pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
