Proposal for “Notorious” Moratorium
Posted on March 31, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Uncategorized, WTF | 1 Comment
This will be a quick post. I just wanted to say – on behalf of everyone who can’t stand hip-hop being co-opted and abused by and in mainstream culture – that I’m tired of the media and everybody else just throwing anything with three initials after the word “notorious:” “The Notorious A.I.G.,” “The Notorious G.O.P.,” [...]
MC Exposition “Used to be a B-Boy”
Posted on March 31, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Audio, Hip Hop, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Sorry for the wait people. I’ve been sitting on this banging new MC Exposition cut for a week now, and it’s about to pop (the joint is called “I Used to be a B-Boy,” and it’s produced by the almighty D Boyz). For those who don’t know, Expo is the exalted front man of the [...]
Term To Pay Dilla Homage In Boston
Posted on March 30, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
Extraordinarily missed Detroit beat stylist J Dilla (a/k/a Jay Dee) was righteously benevolent. In interviews, he rarely trashed major labels that shelved his gems for lacking so-called mainstream appeal. As a rapper — even when he popped shit — it was in a joking manner. And as a producer, he used his skills and his reputation to nurture rising talents rather than to half-bake records for the daughters of pro wrestlers and heavy-metal icons.

Great lovers of sophisticated art that all JumpTheTurnStyle readers are known to be, I thought you might be fascinated by the work of Justine Lai (shown above boning James Buchanan), who has painted pictures of herself fucking all the former presidents of the United States of America. Coming soon…oils on canvas of Trees eating out [...]
100 Unsexiest Men on the Planet
Posted on March 27, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Media, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Although Trees lectured me last night about driving mad traffic away from JumTheTurnStyle and into the arms of my other on line residence, ThePhoenix.com, I have a worthy detour for you fuckers that I can’t pass up on. Every year we go to excrutiating lengths to compile a list of the unsexiest men on the [...]
Johnny Too Blazed To Pay His Taxes
Posted on March 27, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
According to the New York Daily News – and I see no reason why this wouldn’t be true – Method Man was too stoned to pay his taxes. For seven years. Whether he’s full of shit or not, this is just a hands-down fantastic story.
From the NY Daily News:
Method Man was going to pay his [...]
Spring Hip-Hop Disc Preview: You Can Remove Your Ear Condoms Now
Posted on March 26, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | Leave a Comment
Can’t wait for the moans and screams that this one encourages. Nonetheless…
Between the packages that turn up on my Jamaica Plain doorstep and the envelopes that stuff my Phoenix mailbox, I have enough music to start a mixtape spot in Downtown Crossing. I try to entertain every effort — I’d even contend that no rap [...]
New Brother Ali Disc = Approved Like a Mu’fucka
Posted on March 25, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | 3 Comments
My“greatest rapper” list reads differently from most. Ghostface Killah resides at the zenith, beside Rakim’s throne, and Minneapolis truth agent Brother Ali — who recently toured with those two Gods, and whose The Truth Is Here is his second perfect disc in that many years — just earned a spot in my Top Five Alive [...]
Canibus Mathematics for Real Rap Nerds
Posted on March 24, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | 4 Comments
Here’s the deal: the Canibus article that I posted the other day was supposed to be a full Boston Phoenix feature, which means that it would have run on an entire page, and even included a side bar. Those plans, however, were crushed when homeboy neglected to call me for an interview. Still, the side [...]

Was MF DOOM’s Decision To Vote For John McCain Just Part Of His “Supervillain” Image

“No doubt,” says the father and admitted McCain voter. “If something ends, then something’s gonna start. So it’s like, what side are you on? Do you feel like your world is ending? Or do you feel like, ‘Wow, it seems like that’s ending and it’s the start of something new.’”
Yup. MF DOOM cast a ballot for [...]
Interview: Killa in ESPN The Magazine
Posted on March 24, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Interviews, Video | 1 Comment
Not strange to see rappers talking about sports, but sorta unusual to see the Disney-owned ESPN talking to Killa Cam a/k/a Omar Swanson. Do you think this interviewer has seen Killa Season or heard “Suck It or Not”? Anyway, check it out here. Cam talks about his aborted basketball career, playing with Stephon Marbury and [...]
Audio: Wale x Lady Gaga – “Chillin’”
Posted on March 24, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Audio, Hipster Rap | 2 Comments
Wale decides to hook up with Ms. Poker Face and Cool & Dre for his first single off Attention Deficit. After a couple listens, it’s catchy but at the same time not especially memorable, especially considering I’m a fan of Wale and expect him to do well with his debut album. He puts in more [...]
