Why Albums Are Released On Tuesdays In The U.S.
HipHopDX <3’s NPR. We appreciate that shows like Kai Ryssdal’s “Marketplace” use soundbeds from Blockhead and Quannum Projects. We like that National Public Radio programs pays respect to our friends at Stones Throw Records, Biz3 and Cocaine Blunts, among others. Recently, NPR broke down why albums in the United States drop on Tuesdays. A worthy read.

If athletes like Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson’s forays with Rap weren’t bad enough, how about actors? From Beverly Hills 90210‘s Brian Austin Green to Married With Children’s David Faustino, a lot of Fox’s awkward darlings toyed with Hip Hop in the ’90s. Those days are behind us, but what the hell is up with Walk The Line/8mm star Joaquin Phoenix’s aspirations to bust bars? The AV Club breaks down why Phoenix quit something he was actually good at to pursue a childhood dream. This is the subject of a new film, I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix. Hey, we can’t knock the hustle, but the only Phoenix we’re checking for right now is Jean Grae’s forthcoming album.
