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".

Cheese...


Nyquil Mixtape of the Week Cashmere Edition – (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. Freeway - Free
"They say the best things in life are free, but I can't tell
I gotta pay for all the food that I take in
And gotta pay for all the chronic that I inhale
That's why I stick with my team, nigga, stick with my men
Y'all dudes freelance, play for any team
Don't stand for nothin then you fall for anything"




2. Jay-Z, Freeway, Geda K, Young Chris Memphis - Good Times (Jaz-O Diss)
This is what I thought loyalty was all about - back in 2002, on a
beach in Cape Verde.



3. Andre 3000 - A Life in the Day of Benjamin Andre

"Yes we were selling it and no it wasn't blow."



4. Mathematics - Strawberries & Cream
The best pick up song, by far!



5. Big L - How Will I Make It
"It's real rough out here, man."



Come back every week for a new mixtape!

Thanks Elle. Needed a week off. LOL.

We need some more posts from ya... give the female perspective on these issues.

fyi. had a fanatic moment in the apartment listening to on of my favorite parts of one of my favorite Nas joints, "NY State of Mind Part 2"...

"Had eight partners growin up, eight turned to seven
Seven turned to six niggaz, got two in heaven
Six of us, holdin it, now it's five rollin thick
The sixth one's parole flipped; five niggaz, went to fo' quick
when he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin
Four niggaz still hangin, years passed and slang changin
Three of us now, fourth nigga ain't around
We all thought he was real -- he did the snake shit
Fake shit -- beat his ass down, yo his mouth
could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin clown
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
And we all goin out, to the death for these ends, WHAT?"

"Did you hear what the f**k he said?"

lol
