So, Lance Armstrong went ahead and admitted it. I was really loving to hate USADA, but it seems there aren't any good guys in this one.
Curren$y – Showroom
Dirty words abound, so consider yourselves warned.

Curren$y is probably my favorite dude working in rap today. He's from NOLA and went through quite a bit of major label drama before finally breaking out with the Pilot Talk albums. He's around my age, which is nice in an age where a lot of the dudes coming out can't even drink legally. And most of all, he has a tireless work ethic. Last year he released four mixtapes for free in addition to his really great full length The Stoned Immaculate.
This is one of my favorite songs from The Stoned Immaculate. It's pretty much right in his zone: raps about cars, women, and weed. Yeah, he works with a pretty narrow selection of subject matter, but he's dope. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, check out those tapes. They're all good (especially Cigarette Boats).

January 14, 2013: The Grind
Back to it after three days off that felt way too quick. That's always the way, but something about it made it seem faster than usual.
I'm also coming to terms with the fact that I desperately want out of retail, so I can do something that matters, or at least not be owned by a major corporation. If this really ends up being my career, I'm going to completely hate myself by the time I retire.
