Crank That Halloween
Only’s rap editor, Rhek, along with local hip-hop impresario, The Stunt Man (Titan Sound, Stinkmitt), produced what we’re going to go ahead and call the definitive Halloween rap mix of all Halloween rap mixes ever conceived. Jeezy, Biggie, Master P, MF Doom and pretty much any MC that has ever written a song with the word “devil”, “hell” or “ghost” in the title all on this 52 track mix. Cop it here:
Funkmaster Flex Destroys The '90s
Legendary New York DJ Funkmaster Flex spun an incredible five hour set of pure ’90s hip-hop during July 4th on Hot 97. It’s a pretty phenomenal mix, and is mandatory listening for any rap fan, even if you’re from the South. Here’s what Funk Flex had to say about the endeavor:

I got the bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-eviction notice the other day too.
Fourth Quarter Rap
As of November, T.I.’s King was the only rap album to go platinum in ‘06. Maybe it’s because Latin broads and China dolls don’t know how to download music [Editor’s note: Maybe it’s because you’re a jerk]. Still, the 4th Quarter was heavy with rap releases this year, so let’s bring ‘em out…
Brain Drain
You know how on game shows like Family Feud you can choose to pass—what if you could do that in real life? Awesomeness. That’s what that’d be.
What do you do with a blue monkey?
Willie Poop. That’s a funny name. I’m allergic to being broke and my allergies are acting up.
