Mobbdeen Presents “The 11s…”
Hola.
Because I’m a lazy shit and I just get tired thinking of compiling any kind of comprehensive list with regards to the music I’ve heard this year, I’ve decided to employ a largely random gimmick (more on this later?) to help with the task this year.
[Arkansas is the best state in the union. Fact.]
Over the rest of the year, I’m going to write 11 lists with 11 entries each. They’ll probably all be about rap music. I’m sure I wrote this last year too, but I care less and less about other genres as I get older. I just don’t have the time and I love what I love at this point. It’s only around the end of the year when I start going through year-end lists that I get a chance to sample the best of non-rap shit that didn’t catch my attention during the year. Who knows, maybe one of the eleven lists will be a list on eleven non-rap albums that caught my ear. I’m pretty sure I still managed to listen to 11 non-rap albums this year - especially if I expand “non-rap” to include R&B as well. We’ll see.
Why 11? Well for starters, it isn’t 10. It’s an arbitrary pick but the amps in ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ went up to 11, it’s been 11 I went through 11 lighters on my dresser - yes sir, I fucked 11 hoes this year (yay me), soccer teams line up with 11 players and this is the year 2011. One or more of the items in the preceding sentence may or may not be false. Fast and loose with the truth is the way in 2011.
Anyway, the first entry might go up today or tomorrow. Maybe not. Whatever. Feel free to hit me with suggestions or questions or nude pictures. I’m cool with all that shit.
Watch this space. I’m doing this Onety-One shit for real. I plomise…
P.S.: I swear I thought of this in the shower this morning. Pause. I just have a job and all…
