Rare ATCQ Concert at Emory University in 1992

To follow up on the post about the 1991 concert :)

It’s always a pleasure to hear a previously unreleased concert—especially one that was filmed!

I have even more concerts to share!! :)

Omitten — A different spin on NYT "Connections" game

I built this daily puzzle game called "Omitten".

My idea came from a compulsive habit I got from reading books on an e-reader and constantly looking up the definitions (iykyk). Quite often you'd see a word with 20 different meanings in different contexts, so I wanted to build a game around that.

You can get a maximum of 4 clues — first one will generally be difficult. It might be used in an archaic form, unusual context, etc. The second will generally narrow it down to a more specific domain. By the third it should all be coming together. Finally, the fourth will be as close to giving it away as possible.

You start with knowing only the first clue/sentence. This will generally be fairly difficult to guess. As you make guesses or skip, the next clue unlocks, but you lose 25 points for each additional clue you get.

If it sounds fun you can check it out here: https://omitten.com — it's completely free, has no ads, or anything of the sort. Feedback is much appreciated!

Rare clip from an ATCQ concert in 1991

starting at 1:56

It's not much, and the quality is just okay, but it's always cool to have concert videos, especially from that era! 😄

"Oh My God" Remix Acapella over the LP Instrumental

Just a little edit I put together for fun, since the a cappella track for the “Oh My God” remix isn't the same as the one on the LP.

It's a bit disorienting the first time you hear it—it sounds different, but not out of place...

That's it, peace :)

edit : Reddit compressed the audio, so it doesn't sound as clear as it did originally. Too bad... but oh well

What Are The Best Sophomore Rap Albums of All Time?!

The "Sophomore Slump" is one of the most storied hurdles in hip-hop. After a lifetime of preparation goes into a debut, the pressure to evolve while maintaining momentum often leads to a flop. However, the artists below didn't just avoid the slump, but they used their second outings to expand their sound, sharpen their lyricism, and cement their place in Hip-Hop.

• The Notorious B.I.G. – Life After Death
OutKast – ATLiens
Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
Nas – It Was Written
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool
Kanye West – Late Registration
DMX – Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP
Mobb Deep – The Infamous
A Tribe Called Quest – The Low End Theory
Jay-Z – In My Lifetime, Vol. 1

Whether they took a more commercial turn to reach the masses or retreated into a darker, more experimental world, these albums represent the moment these rappers proved they were more than just one-hit wonders. They turned the slump into a springboard, delivering albums that are not only classics, but that many fans argue are even better than their debuts.

What do you guys think of the list? Which albums are missing from this list? Let me know in the comments ✌️✌️
