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.

"It was a clear black night, a clear white moon..."


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. "Regulate" – Warren G & Nate Dogg
The blueprint for the Rapper/ Singer Thug records


2. "Watch out Now" – The Beatnuts
Pun and Joe get all the credit for Latinos in Hip-Hop but these dudes from Corona made noise too.


3. "Rockafella" – Redman
Funk Doctor Spock before he met the Ticalion Stallion


4. "Benz or a Beemer" – Outkast
They've been super platinum so more that you forget these guys used to be gritty as hell. (New Jersey Drive was a terrible movie by the way)


5. "Masta IC (Remix)" – Mic Geronimo ft. Lost Boyz
Very underappreciated debut album, led him to wear a shiny suit for his next one… and you can see what that did to his career.


Come back every week for a new mixtape!
