Cool Kids, Asher Roth Freestyle
Asher, Mikey, and Chuck drop some knowledge when the mic system goes out. I was four feet away from this.
Last Saturday night, I attended the Sk8tique opening party in Little Five Points, ATL. I almost didn't get in, but I name dropped some dudes from my favorite sneaker spot.
So we chilled with the Cool Kids and Asher all night, drank Sk8tique's beverages, kicked some ass in Xbox 360 Skating, and took advantage of the free gift bags (with 59Fiftys).
It was a sick night.

The Champ
What is the greatest hip-hop song of all time? Can it really be decided? East Coast? West Coast? Dirty South? Chi-town? Underground?
People are pretty partial to certain rap songs. Maybe a certain song marks a period in time. For me, rap symbolizes summer. It represents getting excited. I mostly listen to rap when I'm working out or skiing. It's the beat.
The first time I saw a Gin & Juice on MTV, I was mortified. I think I was in 4th grade or something, so I didn't realize its genius at first. But it grew on me. The first real hip hop I ever bought was ATLiens. After that, hip hop took over my music library.
But back to the issue. What's the best hip hop song ever? Some might think it would be an Outkast song. And that would be a fair assessment. I celebrate Outkast's entire catalog. But it's not 'Kast.
I like a lot of Wu-Tang. And I think Triumph is almost a perfect song. But it's not the best.
The best hip hop song ever is Nothin 'But a G Thang. You know what the beat sounds like. The hook is perfect. The chorus is tight. The rhymes are perfect. Dre on the production. Snoop at his best. What more could you ask for?
