One Sentence or Less

My very own hired hipster, Barry Schwartz breaks down his 10 biggest let downs of the last year. Beware–this Long Island music geek does not hold back…

Nas – Hip-Hop is Dead
His album didn’t disprove his theory

Jay-Z – Kingdom Come
His album flaunts excellence while being mediocre

Method Man – 4:21
Um, his terrible songs weren’t promoted properly?

Busta Rhymes – The Big Bang
He wants to be taken seriously 15 years too late

Ludacris – Release Therapy
He wants to be taken seriously while he’s at a strip club

Lloyd Banks – Rotten Apple
He buys his plasma screen TVs at Best Buy on Long Island

Outkast – Idlewild
“Idlewild is two separate stories that happen to take place at the same time, and have little, if anything, to do with one another.” – Harry Knowles. Now replace the word “Idlewild” with the word “Outkast.”

Fat Joe – Me, Myself and I
Just because someone likes Fat Joe’s hits doesn’t mean they like Fat Joe

Snoop Dogg – The Blue Carpet Treatment
Snoop isn’t interesting now that I’m not afraid of him

Obie Trice – Second Round’s On Me
Well I should hope so, I picked up the first round.
