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.

Under the radar...


Much respect to The Roots, I love what they do and how they do it. Not to mention their shows are incredible. Go to Best Buy and support these dudes!!!

"Rising Down is the eighth studio album by Philadelphia-based hip-hop band The Roots, set to be released on Def Jam on April 29, 2008. It is the band's second album with the label, following 2006's Game Theory. The album's title presumably comes from William T. Vollmann's 2004 book Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on violence, freedom and urgent means."
