What f*ck is this? Fair question. Remember Season 3 of Atlanta when they started throwing in these curveball episodes that were completely off-plot (but still within the universe of the show)? Yeah, it's kind of like that. As I am want to do, I was lurking Blockhead's twitter feed. Watching a master work. The man who had the stones to challenge the existence of blue balls on twitter was enthralling and enraging followers with his takes on the "friend zone". I of course had to get my two cents in

First the Fat Boys break up.... The Fat Boys are one of those rap groups from the 80's that sometimes get mistakenly branded as a novelty or gimmick act. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Central to the Fat Boys success was rapper/producer Prince Markie Dee. After the Fat Boys disbanded Markie Dee went on to have an incredible production career

Radio...suckas never play me. If you weren't born in the 70s/80s I think it's hard to understand the importance radio stations once held. In a world before the internet radio was the primary way we learned about and consumed new music. In that paradigm the radio DJ held a sacred place. The old school disc jockey was curator, taste maker, and gatekeeper all rolled into one. Luckily the the Dad Bods came of age in a time and place where the benevolent radio DJ Chuy Gomez presided over Hip Hop radio
