the Ill Doctrine
makes me lean towards my computer screen. Though I can clearly see what I'm looking at. This blog covers the latest in hip-hop happenings. The music, the culture and the controversy (of course). Although I do my best not to judge some of the lower rung material that the blog-nation provides, (due to the sheer philosophical magnitude of what it means to share experience through this medium)... I have to say, there is a lot of bullshit out there taking up space where genuine information and informed sharing should be. But I digress...
The Ill Doctrine's host, Jay Smooth, is an eloquent orator. Who makes me say "mmhhhmm" in agreement a good deal of the time. But that's not why I think you should become a fan. In general, I love people who speak out of critical thought and make me take a second look at my own opinions. Even if I find myself in disagreement in the aftermath.
I think you should hear what he has to say. Because for the first time in a long time, I feel like someone is having an educated opinion based on information (and an objective look at his own personal experience). And doing it with class. It's just nice to hear an intelligent voice waxing poetically about all the nonsense out there...

More on the Artist
John Randolph, better known by his deejay name Jay Smooth, is the founder of New York City's longest-running hip hop radio program[1], WBAI's Underground Railroad[2]. He is also known for blogging on the website hiphopmusic.com and hosting Ill Doctrine[3][4], a hip hop video blog. Ill Doctrine features Smooth's commentary on hip hop and politics (as in the "Soulja Boy Presidential Debate Remix" or the spot "How to Tell People They Sound Racist"). The son of an African American father and a white mother, he grew up in New York City and credits his mixed racial heritage for putting him in a "unique position to travel between different worlds".[5] He chose the pseudonym "Jay Smooth" as a teenager when he started his radio program.
