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.

"Never put me in your box, if your sh*t eats tapes"



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.




1. "Freakin' You (Remix)" – Jodeci ft. Ghostface & Raekwon
If Mary and Meth don't make their song, this would have been the best Rap/ R&B collabo of all time.


2. "Ill Street Blues" – Kool G. Rap, Live and Let Die
G. Rap often gets lost in the fray when the Golden Era gets discussed but he is one of the greats.


3. "My Melody" – Eric B. & Rakim, Paid In Full
Whether it's the beats, or the rhymes… This song has more biters than Michael Vick's "backyard brawlers" (lol)


4. "Give Up The Goods" – Mobb Deep ft. Big Noyd, The Infamous
Remember this? This is how Mobb is supposed to sound. Are you paying attention 50?


5. "'98 Freestyle" – Big L, The Big Picture
Greatest punchline emcee of all-time? I'll let you tell it. "Ask Beavis, I get nothin' Butt-Head" (get it?)


Come back every week for a new mixtape!

I have that freakin you remix on my ipod and I must say that is one song I don't think I will ever get sick of. Raekwon and Ghost KILLED that joint! Ghostface's verse is actually one of my favorite feature he's ever done.
