Joe Buddens take on THE LIST.

Joe Budden gives his opinion on this whole "best rapper ever" list by vibe magazine. I agree with him on the "I'm better than 50 of these people" opinion, but I'll have to disagree that hes better than Method Man...but hey this thing has everything to do with opinion. So in my opinion, Lupe should be somewhere in the top 5. Along with Jay-Z, and Nas.

Best Rappers List?

A lot of these I agree with, but a lot of them I REALLY disagree with (such as LIL WAYNE, E-40 Fat Joe, BOW WOW???) Plus no LUPE??? This is a hip hop fail. Sigh.

Paper DOOM

Are you poor/broke?
Do you love DOOM?
Well all my fellow villains out there, I have great news. A few RappCats have posted up a little goodie for you guys. Designed by RBST. You can get the Madvillain design, along with the Stones Throw one. Both come with the Black Sambo head, naturally.

You can get both download links here

UPDATE:
Apparently Lord Quas has one coming soon! I'll definitely let you guys know when.

And as you can see I've also changed up the page a bit, new background as well as a new banner, both designed by Dustin d'Arnault...waddaya think? Drop me a comment.

I'm back again.

Over the past months, my posts have dwindled down to a meager amount, and I just want to say that I'm sorry for leaving you guys in the dark for so long. But to tell you the truth, the Hip Hop well was dry for those few months ( for me at least). Anyway, I'm back and rearing to get back on track. I've been pretty busy also, with college and applications and scholarships and whatnot, so its been pretty hectic lately. Point is, I'm happy to be back, and happy to know that I have a steady amount of readers, although the hits have dropped from an average of like 125 a day to around 75 a day...regardless I'm back, and hopefully I wont leave the blog and you readers hangin like this for a while.

Catch ya later kiddies,

Optimus Primal! yeyeeee

Happy New Year!

2009, here we come.

The aftermath

Through out the years my music collection has grown to extreme extents. To say the least, I have over 50 gigs of multimedia files, about 40 of which is music. So for Christmas this year, I was lucky enough to receive a 120 gig iPod Classic for all my music. Along with that, Santa decided to take it one step further and got me a pair of bangin headphones from Skullcandy.
It was a good Christmas.

On the 27th was my 18th birthday, so thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday. Strip clubs here I come! haha.


Happy New Year ya'll!

Merry Christmas kiddies

Hey ho! It's Christmas! Have a good one!

Problems?

Just a little while ago I got an e-mail from a cat who's a regular to the site saying that he's confused about how to download Mp3's off divshare. If you have problems too, or are confused about how to download the divshare files, please let me know. If enough of you complain, I'll try to find a new hosting site which is easier to download. If you're wondering why I don't use zshare, it's because It doesn't work on my network for some unknown reason. But anyway, If you're having problems, drop me a comment, or send me an e-mail. Sorry for the inconvienice.

Keep rockin fresh,

Optimus.

Back in the day...

I don't know about you guys but sometimes I get a little reminiscent of the 90's. When I was a younger I used to watch some baller cartoons after school, such as, Mighty Max, Bonkers, Goof Troop, TMNT (even up until 2003), Darkwing Duck, Tale spin, Street Sharks, Extreme Dinosaurs, X-Men, Spiderman, Gargoyles, and my favorite of them all...SWAT KATZ. Later on I got into that anime tip, and started watching Toonami and DBZ religiously. They used to have some good cartoon's on TV back in the day...I really have no idea what happened.

Wow. Amazing. Enlarge and watch full screen.

Um...

Sorry guys, today was extra slow...only one post, I have a lot of homework too, so that's also partially why I haven't updated much today. I'll be sure to bring you guys some grade A feugo tomorrow. No point to the picture above...I just thought it was pretty funny haha. Keep checkin back for new stuff.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I bought the domain name for the site, so instead of typing in www.thetrolleystop.blogspot.com, you can type in www.trolleystopent.com and it will redirect you to this blog. I think it's much easier to remember. There's no change just yet, so you can use either address for now.

Keep rockin fresh,

Optimus.
