As far as the blog's title, it's partially tongue-in-cheek. I do tend toward select mainstream rap (the good: Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, T.I., producers like Timbaland and The Neptunes; the bad: Rick Ross, Plies, Flo Rida, 50 Cent, The Game, etc. etc...you know the deal) but I'm not opposed to music that's labeled real hip hop on principle. I just think a bunch of it's kinda boring and dry, you know? But then we'll see how my tastes further evolve through the bloggerating.
As for the other title...I originally had this called "Chronicles of a Late '80s Baby" but then I realized that Sickamore over at XXLmag.com back in the day (AKA 1-2 years ago) had an almost identical title for his blog over there. Call it subconscious memory of good ideas. Still, I think it's an apt title, so I just changed it to "ramblings," which I think is more appropriate for my writing style.
So again, welcome, and while my tastes may differ with several of the blog sites I mentioned they've all got some talented writers so check 'em out, which I'm sure if you're reading this you already have. And if you're one of 'em put me on your blogroll prettyplease. Or OK, you can wait to see if I post anything you think is worth a shit first. I'm cool with that.
Oh and the format might change soon. I'm still figuring this blog deal out.

damn Doc why you gotta come at me like that in the first post? now i'm feeling the pressure

Now I feel forced to do a blog. I, too, was planning to start with a review blasting Nas, but since the headphones on my ipod just broke, I feel I couldn't post a review in good conscience without giving the album a second listen, and I would never waste a blank CD on that crap, it may be a week or two before I start out.
To quote Apu, after ringing the doorbell of the Simpson family in an uncharacteristic turn of events.
"Hello. I am not interested in buying your house, but I would like to use your rest room, flip through your magazines, rearrange your carefully shelved items and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner. Ha! Now you know how it feels! (runs off])."
Good luck with the blog, Trey.
And yes, the Nas album is garbage.
It's about time, Trey. Good to see you onboard.
