Swaz, the man behind Spitballin Radio, and I have had many a hip hop related debate over the years.

Finals Talk
My friend Anthony and I have a tradition of texting each other all throughout football and basketball games that we're watching at the same time. The games are inevitably 10% less enjoyable when this doesn't happen.
