black leaves
I'm not much for these overseeing critical lists, but one thing did hit me with both humor and intrigue from this year's Pazz n Jop list. Greg "Hip-hop is like, soooo dead, dude" Tate, longtime Voice scribe selected Velvet Revolver as his best album of this past year---like, ewwwwww. For someone who thinks hip-hop is dead, this ain't no betta, woadie. To make the situation even more historically awkward, he dug Devendra Banhart (someone I shared a hospital with at birth...seriously) as his last selection. This is a good thing.
Back to our regularly scheduled programme.
