I don't know how to use this thang.

So here we have it: the music blog. This is a basic basic basic basic beginning, because I really have no idea how to set this up. But here it is. And I suppose I'll start it off with a song:

My fascination with hip-hop developed over the summer, partly due to Matthew Warren and partly due to sputnikmusic.com (go there and immerse yourself). Couple of things to listen for on this song: the simply superb lyricism, especially the fact that must of it rhymes or alliterates. The second verse highlights these aspects the best. Also notice how the emcee in the third verse (after the harmonica) keeps the same beat but simply adds more syllables within the constraint of the beat.

Finally, if anyone knows how to make it so any of you can post on the blog tell me, b/c I have no clue.
