Playlist: 05/13/10 - Microphone Love


Date: 05/13/10
Note(s): With Santanna Hill away, ThaiMex decided to cover the topic of the mighty microphone in the realm of hip-hop. The microphone has been loved, cherished, demanded, praised, personified, and fetishized throughout hip-hip. Every job or art-form has its set of staple tools and hip-hop is no exception. The focus of hip-hop has always been the word and what is more effective to deliver that word than the microphone?
