Some of the best music is quite literally hiding. This is definitely the case when it comes to female emcees.

The Movie Was Better
How rare it is for a movie to actually be better than the original book? I can only think of one case, V for Vendetta. The movie was brilliant on so many levels, thanks mostly to the superb writing and storytelling of the original graphic novel. However, the movie made some changes to the story […]
