Here’s a shout out to the people with too much time on their hands today. What am I talking about you may ask? Well, someone has taken 12 beats that Lil Wayne and Royce Da 5’9’’ have rapped over and stacked them side by side, asking you to pick the winner. They are both strong lyricists, but who will you crown the king of the ring? The mixtape, appropriately called The Best Rapper Alive is fun because it hits us music lovers right in the sweet spot...our egos. Of course we can tell you who’s the best. So, hit the bell and make your picks. Tracklist, score card, and download link are below.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.

Wow… really sad there are no Chicago dates for this. Can’t wait to hear how the PHJB benefit compilation sounds. So many amazing musicians and for a really great cause as well.
