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.

From the Trap to #1



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. "Never Scared"
The first time I ever heard of T.I. was on this Bone Crusher joint. Its not that the verse was so great but I had this weird feeling that drew me to him. It was that "it factor" I guess.


2. "Rubber Band Man"
He always had a hunch for making straight anthems. How many people talked about their money in rubber bands after this?


3. "U Don't Know Me"
Also great at the call and response songs that got the audience participating in all of the hooks.


4. "What You Know"
Seriously? This is where I thought his peak was.


5. "Ready for Whatever"
I was wrong.



Come back every week for a new mixtape!
