Welcome to Past the Margin where we go beyond the beats, beyond the rhymes, beyond the cars, girls and diamonds. At Past The Margin we dig a little deeper into the topics that deal with this thing we call "Hip-Hop".

We plan to bring to you those serious, comical and controversial ideas and opinions that you've had with your "peoples" whether it was on the block or in your crib. There's hundreds of conversations going on right now about Hip-Hop and everyone has something to say about it. So don't think outside the box... take it Past the Margin.

"I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes"


Nyquil Mixtape of the Week – (noun) A group of five (5) songs that you are currently sleeping on. Either you've never heard them or forgot how much you really love them. Regardless, you need to brush the dust off your CD rack and play them or add them to your collection.

Special Hov Edition

1. "People's Court" – Jay-Z, Backstage: A Hard Knock Life
Seemingly lost Hov track over a sample of the best TV court show ever


2. "Flava In Ya Ear" – Jay-Z, S. Carter Series (Mixtape)
Classic posse cut, now imagine the best playing all the roles by himself


3. "A.S.A.P" – Jay-Z, Unknown

Over the TI record, Jay brings his A game with this complex rhyme scheme


4. "44 Fours" – Jay-Z, Unknown

Think 22 2's but bigger, much bigger


5. "Only A Customer" – Jay-Z, Streets Is Watching

Laid back bass line, LL sample, nuff said.


Come back every week for a new mixtape!
