Second Spin: No Wonder Rhymefest Sounds So Blue
Remember Rhymefest? He’s the Grammy-winning Kanye pal (and co-writer of “Jesus Walks”) whose Blue Collar was tipped as one of rap’s biggest releases of 2006–until it came out, and everyone had moved on to discussing the Clipse leak. If you didn’t grab it at the Tower fire sale–or if you’re too cheap for pick it up for $2 on Amazon–here are two tracks from his weirdly ignored debut, in which he shouts out the Midwest and samples the Strokes:
