This blog is obviously FULL of bullshit: it's a mess and we know it. That's why when we want to do a serious review of an album we submit our work to better music sites. When I say "serious review" I mean it still has jokes but we are reviewing something we paid for. I spent some of my Tort Team per diem, and I don't even know where that comes from! Actually, we never review full albums on this blog (we focus on mixtapes). We always send our big reviews over to our friends at the great Hip Hop Isn't Dead Blog (the original). They know what they're doing and they're WAY better than us.
Today they were kind enough to publish our thoughts on J. Cole's latest album "Cole World: The Sideline Story", and yeah, we noticed that is a CRAPPY ALBUM TITLE . Go CHECK IT OUT...and check out some of the other reviews over there (they have a ton of them and they're funny). Uh...
We all have our side jobs right? Some of us mow yards or haul gravel or do orthodontia or something like that for a little extra cash. Whatever. I write for other, better, blogs. Today marks my return to the great Hip Hop Isn't Dead Blog where I have a complete review of J. Cole's latest non-commercial release album "Friday Night Lights". He calls it a mixtape, but it's really a free album. As you may know J. Cole is one of the best doing it right now, so check out the review and also J. Cole's work (it's dope).
Thanks to Max for publishing my "work".

| Fun for everyone! |
Sometimes I like to steal cars in my own city and sometimes I like to get away from the Atlanta PD* and steal some cars in someone else's city (like Myrtle Beach, SC or whatever). Well today I'm in someone else's city:
The Smart & Angry Blog and I'm not stealing cars, I'm writing pre-reviews of "The Throne's" upcoming album "Watch the Throne". It's a good blog and a good post. Thanks to my associate in blog Justa Just for the opportunity, I'm sure we'll be connecting again but we won't be calling ourselves some dumb shit like "The Throne". CHECK IT OUT!
*Neither this blog nor the Smart & Angry blog have anything to do with car theft or Atlanta, run and tell that.
Elsewhere Online: Jay-Z "Unplugged" Full Review
During the day I work as the senior editor here at Tortoise General Blog. It’s a grueling job with deadlines and staff problems and research and whatever, so sometimes I like to just get back to my roots and review real hip hop albums. I am very fortunate to have my full album reviews published on the great Hip Hop Isn’t Dead Blog, and today my colleague Max has posted my full review of Jay-Z’s Unplugged album. Check it out!
